Stock Track | ALT5 Sigma Plummets 22% Pre-market as Trump-Backed Crypto Token Falters

Stock Track
Sep 02, 2025

ALT5 Sigma Corporation (ALTS) shares nosedived 22.21% in pre-market trading on Tuesday, extending losses after a 5.6% drop in the previous session. The dramatic plunge is closely tied to the disappointing debut of the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token, a cryptocurrency project backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump and his family.

The WLFI token, which commenced trading on Monday, stumbled out of the gate with a 25% fall to approximately $0.21 on its first day. This poor performance has sent shockwaves through ALT5 Sigma, which recently announced ambitious plans to raise $1.5 billion, with half of that amount to be paid in WLFI tokens, to establish a "crypto treasury" that will hold WLFI tokens.

Investors appear to be reacting negatively to ALT5 Sigma's close association with the struggling WLFI token. The situation draws parallels to other companies that have transformed into crypto proxy stocks, raising concerns about potential risks and volatility. As the market continues to digest these developments, ALT5 Sigma shareholders may face further uncertainty in the coming trading sessions, with the company's strategy of becoming a "crypto treasury" now under intense scrutiny.
