“As a strong advocate for blockchain technology and innovation in cryptocurrencies, I'm excited to see World Liberty Financial integrate TRON as a key part of its growing treasury. TRX's inclusion as the fourth-largest asset in WLFI's holdings highlights its trust in the Tron blockchain network," Justin Sun, founder of Tron, said in a statement to CoinDesk."
This most recent purchase was to the tune of $2.6 million and adds an additional 10.8 million TRX to the WLFI treasury. The total holdings of TRX now come in at $7.5 million.
"With WLFI leading efforts to bridge traditional finance and crypto and the Trump administration's pro-crypto stance, the United States will become a major hub for innovation and cryptocurrency adoption,” Sun continued.
CoinDesk reported in mid-January that WFLI intended to purchase TRX and a Tron delegation attended Trump's inauguration.
WFLI is also holding $182 million in ETH, $48 million in WBTC, $7.2 million in Tether's USDT, $7 million in AAVE, and $6.7 million in Chainlink's LINK according to on-chain data with most token buys coming in before the inauguration.
Sources close to the matter say WLFI will continue to increase their TRX holdings.

BlackRock's digital assets head: Leverage-driven volatility threatens bitcoin’s narrative
Rampant speculation on crypto derivatives platforms is fueling volatility and risking bitcoin’s image as a stable hedge, says BlackRock’s digital assets chief.
What to know:
- BlackRock digital-assets chief Robert Mitchnick warned that heavy use of leverage in bitcoin derivatives is undermining the cryptocurrency’s appeal as a stable institutional portfolio hedge.
- Mitchnick said bitcoin’s fundamentals as a scarce, decentralized monetary asset remain strong, but its trading increasingly resembles a "levered NASDAQ," raising the bar for conservative investors to adopt it.
- He argued that exchange-traded funds like BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF are not the main source of volatility, pointing instead to perpetual futures platforms.
