World Liberty Financial (WLF), a decentralized finance (DeFi) project backed by the US President Donald Trump and family, has made headlines with a $20 million cryptocurrency acquisition, mainly Bitcoin and Ethereum, just hours before the White House’s first-ever Crypto Summit scheduled to take place today.
According to a 7 March 2025 Bloomberg report, “A digital wallet belonging to World Liberty Financial added $10.1 million of Ether, $9.9 million of a Bitcoin derivative called WBTC and $1.68 million of MOVE, a token associated with blockchain platform Movement, according to data compiled by analytics firm Nansen.”
The timing of this crypto purchase by WLF has sparked speculation about the administration’s crypto policy direction. This includes discussions around a potential US strategic reserve for digital assets.

WLF Invests In Bitcoin, Ethereum And MOVE Tokens
According to blockchain analytics firm Nansen, WLF purchased $10.1 million worth of Ether (ETH), $9.9 million in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and $1.68 million in MOVE tokens, associated with the Movement Network blockchain platform.
These transactions were executed through a wallet tied to WLF and come as the Trump administration prepares to unveil its stance on cryptocurrency policy during the summit.
The timing of WLF’s latest crypto investment has raised eyebrows, coinciding with discussions about establishing a US strategic reserve for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at the White House summit.
One anticipated policy announcement is the creation of a strategic reserve consisting primarily of Bitcoin alongside other cryptocurrencies.

Michael Saylor, Brian Armstrong, Brad Garlinghouse Scheduled To Attend Crypto Summit
Trump will host the first-ever White House Crypto Summit from 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm UTC on 7 March 2025. Reports indicate that over 25 guests, including members of the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets, will attend.
Initial confirmations in the list unveil that Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, and Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood, will be attending the event.
With Strategy’s substantial investments in Bitcoin, Saylor’s involvement is particularly significant and reflects a strong institutional backing for digital assets. Armstrong’s and Tenev’s presence follows the recent dismissal of the SEC’s cases against Coinbase and Robinhood.
The list also includes Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, an active advocate for the industry. He recently praised the SEC’s quick move on the Coinbase case and how it was undoing the damage of the previous Gensler administration’s ‘regulation by enforcement’ approach.
