DT Marks DeFi LLC, a firm tied to U.S. President Donald Trump, has quietly reduced its ownership in the decentralized finance project World Liberty Financial, raising questions about Trump’s deepening ties to the crypto sector and efforts to limit exposure amid growing political and regulatory scrutiny.
According to updated legal disclosures on the project’s website, DT Marks DeFi now holds a 40% equity interest in the holding firm behind World Liberty Financial—down from 60% in March and a significant drop from the 75% stake it held in December 2024, as previously reported by Forbes.
Timeline of Ownership:
- December 2024: 75% equity held by DT Marks DeFi
- March 2025: Reduced to 60%
- Current: Further reduced to 40%
While it remains unclear exactly when the latest divestment took place, the move comes as questions mount over Trump’s undisclosed involvement in crypto-linked entities, particularly those positioned to benefit from favorable U.S. policy shifts.
The reduction in Trump-linked equity may signal a strategic effort to distance the president’s financial interests from rising scrutiny over digital asset influence in Washington.
Observers note that the quiet restructuring could also be a pre-emptive move ahead of stricter financial disclosure laws or further reporting by investigative media.
