ALT5 Sigma Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTS) saw a significant surge in its stock price, climbing 9% after announcing definitive agreements to raise $1.5 billion through a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement. The capital raised will support the launch of the company’s World Liberty Financial ($WLFI) Treasury Strategy, as well as other corporate initiatives.
In the Registered Direct Offering, ALT5 will issue and sell up to 100 million shares of common stock at $7.50 per share. Additionally, in the Private Placement Offering, an additional 100 million shares will be sold at the same price, with consideration paid in $WLFI tokens from World Liberty Financial Inc. The offerings were priced at the market under Nasdaq rules.
World Liberty Financial is the lead investor in the Private Placement Offering, with participation from several large institutional investors and crypto-focused venture capital firms. The closings of both offerings are expected to take place on or about August 12, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners serving as the sole placement agent.
The proceeds from the offerings will be allocated towards various purposes, including the acquisition of $WLFI tokens to seed the company’s cryptocurrency treasury operations, settlement of existing litigation and repayment of outstanding debt, funding of current business operations and working capital, as well as general corporate purposes and expansion initiatives tied to the World Liberty Financial project.
The securities sold in the Registered Direct Offering are being issued under a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 1. By combining a registered direct sale with a token-backed private placement, ALT5 is blending traditional capital markets structures with blockchain-based financing.
Since the launch of World Liberty Financial last fall, the group has introduced a stablecoin (USD1) and the WLFI token, which has reportedly generated $550 million in sales. The proposed treasury company would join a recent wave of “digital asset treasury companies”—public firms structured to hold large cryptocurrency reserves on their balance sheets.
ALT5 Sigma shares surged 9.66% on August 11, closing at $8.97, up $0.79 from the previous close. Intraday trading saw the stock reach a high of $9.04 and a low of $8.05, with a market cap of $156.57 million. The rally comes ahead of the expected August 12 closing of ALT5’s $1.5 billion registered direct and private placement offerings, which will fund its World Liberty Financial ($WLFI) Treasury Strategy and other corporate initiatives.
As ALT5 Sigma continues to integrate blockchain-based assets into its treasury operations, investor attention remains heightened, reflecting the company’s commitment to innovation and growth in the evolving digital asset landscape.
