World Liberty Financial, a crypto project backed by US President Donald Trump, has shifted part of its treasury from Bitcoin exposure into Ethereum after selling roughly $8 million worth of wrapped Bitcoin.
On-chain data shows World Liberty Financial sold about 93.77 wrapped Bitcoin and used the proceeds to buy around 2,868 Ether at an average price near $2,813.
The transactions were carried out from a wallet linked by blockchain analysts to WLFI’s treasury and were visible on public ledgers tracked by multiple data platforms.
The swap took place as Ether prices traded modestly lower, with some market participants viewing the move as opportunistic positioning during a period of subdued price action.
Wrapped Bitcoin is a tokenised version of Bitcoin on the Ethereum network, and exchanging it for native Ether changes how the capital can be deployed across decentralised finance applications.
Market observers said the shift could signal an intention to access smart contracts, staking or other on-chain services that require native Ether rather than a Bitcoin proxy.
Despite the high-profile nature of the project, prices showed little reaction, suggesting traders viewed the reallocation as a strategic adjustment rather than a broader market signal.
At the time of reporting, World Liberty Financial price was $0.1578.
