ALT5 Sigma, a company holding $1.5 billion worth of WLFI holdings worth $7.3 billion, is implementing a program to repurchase 50 million shares and borrow $15 million from World Liberty Financial.
The board of directors of ALT5 Sigma Corporation has authorized a large-scale share buyback program worth up to $100 million, and has also signed a $15 million debt financing agreement with World Liberty Financial . CEO Tony Isaac explained this move as a way to capitalize on the opportunity presented by the company's stock trading at approximately a 70% discount to its estimated intrinsic value.
The buyback program will include up to 50 million shares, equivalent to approximately 40% of the Nasdaq-listed company's total outstanding shares. ALT5 Sigma expects to leverage its $1.6 billion balance sheet to finance both initiatives, with a $15 million loan from World Liberty Financial Vai as an initial catalyst.
In addition to the share buyback, the board also approved the company's purchase of additional WLFI Token on the open market. ALT5 Sigma currently holds approximately 7.3 billion WLFI, the native Token of World Liberty Financial, with an estimated value of around $1.5 billion, making it one of the largest holders of WLFI Governance Token in the ecosystem.
Close ties to the Trump family
The partnership between ALT5 Sigma and World Liberty Financial was strengthened after Eric Trump joined the company's board of directors in August 2025, following a $1.5 billion stock offering. World Liberty Financial is a cryptocurrency project co-founded by President Donald Trump's sons, Eric, Don Jr., and Barron, highlighting the close ties between ALT5 Sigma and the Trump family.
Isaac believes this is a great opportunity to create exceptional value for shareholders as the stock is trading at a deep discount to its net asset value. He asserts that buying back shares at such a bargain price will increase shareholder value and is a very efficient use of Capital .
World Liberty Financial has granted ALT5 an exemption allowing the company to use its crypto asset holdings to finance funding agreements, although this is subject to mutually agreed standards. This partnership also extends to holdings of the USD1 stablecoin, whose market Capital has surged above $5 billion from its peak of $3.4 billion on January 12th, an increase of approximately 50% in less than three weeks.
ALT5 Sigma, which positions itself as a crypto asset treasury, has processed over $8 billion in crypto transactions since 2018 through its ALT5 Pay and ALT5 Prime platforms. Isaac highlighted the profit potential of holding WLFI, noting that every $0.01 increase in the Token value adds tens of millions of dollars to the company's balance sheet.
However, the market reacted negatively to the announcement. ALT5 Sigma shares traded at $2.52 at the time of the announcement, but later fell to $2.11. The company said it expects to begin the buyback program in the near future, subject to current securities regulations and market conditions.
