Eric Trump Scaling Back Role to Crypto Firm Alt5 Sigma



Eric Trump, a son of US president Donald Trump, may no longer be a member of the investment company Board Alt5 Sigma as part of a World Liberty Financial deal.

According to an August 25th filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), ALT5 SIGMA assigned Eric Trump and World Liberty Financial co-founder Zach Folkman as board observers rather than members.

The company reported that Trump’s position was “to comply with the rules in the NASDAQ list” and are still subject to the approval of stockholders.

The filing appeared to oppose the previous notices that Trump joined the board. In an announcement of August 11, Alt5 Sigma said to lift it up $ 1.5 billion for the Corporate Treasury of World Liberty Financial – a deal with Trump who has become a board director. At the time of publication, he was listed as a board director on the Alt5 Sigma website.

Alt5 Sigma is a company listed in NASDAQ that provides crypto infrastructure services. This is original Runned Under the name Janone, a Biotech dedicated company, before rebraning in mid-2024 to focus on digital properties.

According to SEC Filings, Alt5 Sigma received $ 750 million worth of WLFI tokens from the crypto company, one million shares, and “pre-funded warrants” to buy up to the additional 99 million distribution as part of the deal.

Cointelegraph reached the Alt5 Sigma and World Liberty Financial for the comment, but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
