The firm introduced a $1.5 billion digital treasury initiative in August, aimed at acquiring WLFI tokens. These tokens are linked to the Trump family, with Eric Trump initially taking a board seat on the project.

The plan was focused on using WLFI tokens as the primary asset in the treasury program.

Attention from lawmakers increased as the WLFI token and related platforms attracted questions in political circles. Some members of Congress have expressed concerns about potential conflicts of interest due to the Trump family's involvement in the cryptocurrency industry.

The Trump family's digital currency activities have resulted in approximately $1 billion in profit, which has increased calls for regulatory examination.

Additionally, to address potential compliance concerns from Nasdaq, Eric Trump's position was changed from board member to board observer, a detail also outlined in a separate SEC disclosure.
