World Liberty Financial Offloads Bitcoin as Price Falls Back to 2021 ATH

World Liberty Financial has sold $5 million in Bitcoin as its price falls, with the sale occurring as the BTC price fell to a 2021 high of $69,000.

World Liberty Financial, a crypto project backed by U.S. President Donald Trump, liquidated a significant amount of its Bitcoin holdings as the BTC price fell to its 2021 all-time high (ATH) of $69,000. Blockchain records show that the platform offloaded Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) worth approximately $5.04 million at an average price of $69,000.

World Liberty Financial Offloads $5 Million In BTC

The Trump-related crypto project created several swaps via decentralized protocols, based on data from the on-chain platform Lookonchain. According to documents from Arkham Intelligence, the WBTC was exchanged for approximately $5 million in USDC.

The operations were handled by CoW Protocol and Aave Ethereum, which are major DeFi platforms for liquidity and settlement. Aave had given World Liberty $5 million worth of WBTC, which it then sold via CoW Protocol. Arkhama data shows that the crypto firm still holds 267 WBTC, worth $18 million.

The reason for the liquidation has not been officially communicated by the project. This move comes amid the U.S. House’s decision to open an investigation into World Liberty Financial over a $500 million agreement with the UAE. These lawmakers are examining whether some profits were poured into the Trump family’s businesses.

It is also worth mentioning that World Liberty Financial has already applied to the OCC for a national trust bank license. The OCC also indicated that it would continue its review of the firm’s bank charter application despite pushback from Democratic lawmakers.

Bitcoin Price Cuts Out Trump Election Gains

The ongoing decline in Bitcoin’s price has erased all gains it recorded since U.S. President Donald Trump’s election victory in November 2024. TradingView data show that the BTC price is down over 6% today, falling below its 2021 high of $69,000.

BTC has declined by about 30% over the last 12 months and by about 45% from its ATH of $126,000, reached in October 2025. Notably, after the decline to current levels, Michael Saylor's Strategy now has an unrealized loss of over $4.5 billion on its Bitcoin holdings.

As the bear market deepens, market experts anticipate more drops in MSTR stock, which is also under more downward pressure. Seasoned trader Peter Brandt predicts a further crash in BTC’s price. In a more recent analysis, he noted that campaign selling trends are causing extreme corrections and predicted that it could still drop to $54,000.

Nonetheless, JPMorgan analysts have argued that Bitcoin is currently more appealing than gold in terms of long-term investment prospects. This is based on their prediction that the leading crypto could still reach $266,000.
