Under World Liberty Financial's structure, DT Marks DEFI LLC - an entity affiliated with Donald Trump and family members - is entitled to roughly 75% of the net proceeds from sales of WLFI tokens, giving the Trump family a direct financial stake in the venture and in the broader cryptocurrency regulatory environment.

World Liberty Financial's token sales likely commenced on or around October 15, 2024, based on the 15-day Form D filing requirement (SEC Rule 503), placing the offering launch within the final 21 days of the 2024 presidential general election campaign.

World Liberty Financial's Form D filing on October 30, 2024, mathematically constrains the first token sale to the period October 15-30, 2024, with the earliest possible date being October 15, 2024, under SEC Rule 503.

The claim of World Liberty Financial's 'absence' from corporate registration databases is largely explained by the fact that the original search targeted USASpending.gov (a federal contracts database) rather than Delaware's Division of Corporations, and by the entity's structure as a non-stock corporation that some aggregators omit.

The SEC Form D filing date for World Liberty Financial, Inc. in the established primary record is October 20, 2024, not October 30, 2024, which shifts the presumptive earliest token sale date to October 5, 2024 under Rule 503's 15-day requirement.
