ME News reports that on September 15 (UTC+8), on-chain data showed that 1.4175 billion WLFI tokens matching the holdings disclosed by U.S. President Trump were transferred via a multisig transaction into a vesting contract on May 19, establishing the first clear timeline for liquidating his approximately $800 million position. Participation in this vesting plan requires an immediate 10% token burn upon entry and imposes a two-year cliff, followed by a three-year linear unlock schedule, with the earliest possible sale date being May 2028. On-chain data reveals that six internal wallets transferred tokens into this contract: the largest wallet deposited 1.575 billion WLFI, retaining 1.4175 billion after the burn—matching Trump’s disclosed holdings; two wallets each deposited 375 million; and three wallets each deposited 225 million. This vesting contract is currently the largest single holder of WLFI, holding 4.61 billion tokens—nearly half of the total supply. The total WLFI supply has decreased from a maximum of 10 billion to 9.67 billion. The vesting plan was created by a governance proposal passed around May 6, with support from 11,537 wallets; founder token holders could voluntarily opt to convert their indefinite lock-up into a two-year cliff plus three-year vesting period. A spokesperson for World Liberty Financial, David Wachsman, stated that the community voted in favor of the founders’ token burn, with co-founders transferring tokens to the smart contract to complete the burn and accepting the strictest lock-up terms among all token holders.
