World Liberty Financial (WLFI) announced it will tokenize loan revenue interests from Trump International Hotel & Resort in the Maldives, a property that does not yet exist and is scheduled for completion in 2030.
The Trump family generates income from both the token offering and a separate trademark licensing agreement with the property developer.
The cryptocurrency venture partnered with Securitize and DarGlobal for the offering. DarGlobal owns and develops the approximately 100-villa luxury resort, while The Trump Organization provides brand licensing only.
Trump Family Financial Interests
An entity affiliated with Donald Trump and family members holds 38% beneficial ownership in an affiliate of WLF DAR Maldives Limited, which earns proceeds from token sales, according to the press release.
The Trump Organization separately collects trademark licensing fees from DarGlobal for using the Trump name.
The Trump family earned $1 billion from World Liberty Financial through December 2025, according to media reports. The family receives 75% of net proceeds when WLFI sells tokens.
Tokens will be sold through a private placement under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, restricting purchases to U.S. investors with at least $1 million net worth or $200,000 annual income. The offering provides accredited investors with fixed yields and loan revenue streams from the hospitality asset.

UAE Government Ownership
UAE national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan purchased a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial for $500 million in January 2026, days before President Trump's inauguration.
The Trump administration subsequently approved AI chip exports to one of Sheikh Tahnoon's companies despite national security concerns, according to media reports.
The tokenization represents WLFI's first real-world asset product following December 2025 announcements about launching RWA offerings. WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff told attendees at Binance Blockchain Week the company would tokenize Trump Organization real estate portfolio assets.
