WSJ: $500 Million Investment in WLFI Reveals "Spy Chief" and Trump Family's Money-for-Power Deal
Original Title: "Spy Sheikh" Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company

Original Translation: Luffy, Foresight News
According to company documents and people familiar with the matter, four days before Donald Trump's presidential inauguration last year, a deputy of an Abu Dhabi royal purchased a secret stake in the Trump family's startup cryptocurrency business for $500 million, representing 49% ownership. The buyer made an initial payment, with $187 million directly transferred to a Trump family entity.
The transaction with World Liberty Financial had not been previously reported and was signed by the president's son, Eric Trump. Documents show that at least an additional $31 million will flow to family-related entities of the company's co-founder, Steve Witkoff, who was appointed as the U.S. Middle East envoy just weeks ago.
Sources say the hidden benefactor behind this investment is Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal who has been lobbying the U.S. for access to tightly controlled artificial intelligence chips. Tahnoon is sometimes referred to as the "Spy Chief" and is the brother of the UAE's president, the country's national security adviser, and the head of the oil-rich nation's largest sovereign wealth fund. He oversees a business empire valued at over $1.3 trillion, supported by personal wealth and state funds, with operations spanning sectors from aquaculture and AI to surveillance technology, making him one of the world's most influential individual investors.
This transaction is unprecedented in U.S. political history: a foreign government official acquiring a significant stake in a soon-to-be U.S. president's company.
During the Biden administration, concerns over sensitive technology potentially flowing to China largely hindered Tahnoon's efforts to acquire AI hardware. Of particular concern to U.S. intelligence officials and lawmakers is Tahnoon's AI company, G42, which has close ties to sanctioned tech giants like Huawei and other Chinese firms, triggering widespread alarms. Despite G42 claiming it severed ties with China by the end of 2023, American worries persist.
The Trump victory reopened the door for Tahnoon. Sources say that in the months that followed, Tahnoon met with Trump, Witkoff, and other US officials multiple times, including during a March visit to the White House, where the Sheikh expressed a keen interest in collaborating with the US in AI and other fields.
Two months after the March meeting, the Trump administration committed to providing this Gulf nation with approximately 500,000 state-of-the-art AI chips annually, enough to build one of the world's largest AI data center clusters. The framework agreement, as reported earlier by The Wall Street Journal, stipulates that about one-fifth of the chips will flow to G42.
The agreement is widely seen as a significant victory for the UAE ruling family, breaking through longstanding US national security concerns to allow the country to compete on the global stage in AI. Supporters of the agreement praise it for attracting massive investment to the US and helping US technology set global standards.
What was previously unknown to the public is that Tahnoon's envoy signed an agreement in January of that year to acquire a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial.

$500 Million Transaction Details
Documents show that of the initial $250 million payment made by Tahnoon-backed company Aryam Investment 1, $187 million was transferred directly to Trump family entities DT Marks DEFI LLC and DT Marks SC LLC. In addition to funds going to Witkoff family entities, $31 million was transferred to entities associated with co-founders Zak Folkman and Chase Herro. The Wall Street Journal has yet to determine the specific allocation of the remaining $250 million investment Aryam is supposed to make by July 15, 2025.
The agreement made Aryam the largest shareholder of World Liberty Financial and the only known external investor outside of the company's founders. The documents show that the transaction secured two board seats for Aryam on the five-person board of World Liberty Financial, with the two appointed Aryam executives also serving as executives at Tahnoon's G42 at the time; board members at that time included Eric Trump and Zach Witkoff (son of Steve Witkoff).
After Trump's victory, his real estate company has been seeking partnerships with foreign businesses, and the President himself has received gifts from foreign governments, including a $400 million luxury jet gifted by Qatar. However, the World Liberty Financial deal is the only known case of a foreign government official purchasing a large stake in one of Trump's companies after his election.
Information disclosed on the World Liberty Financial website shows that the Trump family's ownership stake has decreased from 75% last year to 38%, indicating an external party purchased shares, but the company has never disclosed the identity of the buyer.
Weeks before the US-UAE chip deal was announced in May of last year, World Liberty Financial CEO Zach Witkoff announced that Tahnoon's investment firm MGX would use World Liberty Financial's stablecoin to complete a $2 billion investment in the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. An executive from G42, who also sits on the board of MGX jointly owned by G42, joined the World Liberty Financial board at that time.
Zach Witkoff promoted MGX's stablecoin collaboration as an endorsement of World Liberty Financial's technology, without disclosing that MGX and World Liberty Financial are led by the same group of people.
World Liberty Financial spokesperson David Wachsman commented on the Aryam investment, saying, "We made this deal because we believe it is in the best interest of the company's continued growth. The notion that a US private company should adhere to special standards in fundraising that other similar entities are not subject to is both absurd and un-American."
He stated that neither President Trump nor Steve Witkoff were involved in this transaction, and they have not been involved in World Liberty Financial affairs since taking office, with Witkoff never holding an operational role at the company. He added that this deal does not provide any party with a channel to influence government decisions or policies, "We adhere to the same regulations as any other company in the industry."
A source familiar with Tahnoon's investment dealings stated that Tahnoon and his team conducted "months of due diligence" on World Liberty Financial's plans before investing. Following this evaluation, he and "several co-investors" completed the investment in the company, noting that G42 funds were not used in this investment. "At no point during the due diligence or thereafter was there any discussion with President Trump about this investment." The source described Tahnoon as a "significant investor" in the cryptocurrency space.
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said, "President Trump acts solely in the best interest of the American public." She stated that the president's assets are held in a trust managed by his children, with "no conflicts of interest," and described Witkoff's commitment to "advancing President Trump's global peace goals."
White House legal advisor David Warrington stated, "The President has not been involved in any business transactions that could involve his constitutional duties."
He said that Witkoff strictly adheres to government ethics rules, "has never and will not participate in any official matters that could affect his financial interests," and added that Witkoff has "divested his related interests in World Liberty Financial."
A source close to Witkoff said that the envoy was not involved in AI chip negotiations related to G42, but was briefed on the discussions.
A Trump Organization spokesperson stated that the company "places a high value on ethical obligations, staunchly guards against conflicts of interest," and complies with all applicable laws.
"Chief's" AI Chip Offensive

After Trump's victory, the UAE hoped for a more cooperative partner in the United States.
For Tahnoon, obtaining American chips was a top priority. Commissioned by his elder brother, he led efforts to position the UAE as a global leader in AI. During the Biden administration, amid concerns that chips could flow to China, the U.S. only allowed a limited number of chips to be exported to the country. Despite G42's claim to have severed ties with China by the end of 2023, UAE entities, including other companies under Tahnoon's commercial empire, maintain close ties with China.
Tahnoon hoped to secure approval for a significant additional number of chips to establish one of the world's largest AI data center clusters, requiring power equivalent to that of two Hoover Dams. Tahnoon and his deputy planned to lobby intensely to garner support from the new Trump administration.
Tahnoon had already engaged in commercial dealings with the Trump family through Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. In 2024, Kushner's investment firm raised $1.5 billion from a company supported by Tahnoon as well as Qatar.
Shortly after his reelection, Trump appointed his long-time friend and golfing buddy Steve Witkoff as the Middle East envoy. Witkoff wasted no time and informed Biden administration officials of his plans to reach out to contacts in the Middle East and to visit the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Israel before taking office.
The early December 2024 trip to the UAE had a dual purpose of diplomacy and cryptocurrency. Witkoff, who had helped found World Liberty Financial in September, attended a cryptocurrency conference in Abu Dhabi, where he mingled with crypto heavyweights and Eric Trump in a VIP room. Eric Trump declared to the Emirati audience in his keynote speech, "Our family loves you."
According to The Wall Street Journal, Witkoff also met with Tahnoon as part of a series of talks in the region, discussing issues including the Gaza ceasefire.
About a week after Witkoff's trip, two entities were registered in Delaware and Abu Dhabi on consecutive days, without disclosing any ownership information, both sharing the name Aryam Investment 1.
Records reviewed by The Wall Street Journal showed that the Delaware-based Aryam entity was managed by an executive from G42, a company under Tahnoon; the Abu Dhabi entity shared an office address with several other companies under the Sheikh's business empire.
Several weeks later, on January 16, 2025, a representative from Aryam signed a $500 million deal with Trump and Witkoff's World Liberty Financial.
Interest Network Behind the Deal
At the time of the investment, World Liberty Financial had no products and had only raised $82 million through the issuance of a token called WLFI. Documents revealed that Aryam's investment did not grant it rights to future WLFI token sales, effectively excluding the Tahnoon-backed entity from the company's sole revenue stream at the time.
The agreement for Aryam to acquire a stake in World Liberty Financial was signed by G42's Chief Legal Officer and Tahnoon's key advisor Martin Edelman, along with G42's CEO Peng Xiao. The deal also involved Tahnoon's personal investment firm Royal Group, with Edelman serving as an advisor to that company simultaneously.
Edelman and Xiao joined the World Liberty Financial board, but the company's website did not list them on the team page.
The duo played a key role in lobbying the Trump administration to secure chips in the UAE.
G42's Crypto and Blockchain Head Fiacc Larkin joined World Liberty Financial as Chief Strategic Advisor in January 2025. His LinkedIn profile indicates that he also serves as an advisor to the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, a government entity.
For years, G42 has been closely watched by Biden administration officials and Republican lawmakers. In 2024, Republican lawmakers requested an investigation into the risk of China acquiring sensitive U.S. technology through the company.
Peng Xiao, born in China, attended university in Washington, D.C., became a U.S. citizen, renounced it, and later took on Emirati citizenship. During the Biden administration, Peng Xiao himself came under scrutiny.
In 2024, a Republican committee chair in a request for investigation to the Department of Commerce stated that documents revealed a "vast network" behind Peng Xiao, involving Emirati and Chinese entities.

In a statement that year, G42 denied the allegations in the letter, stating that the company had ceased cooperation with Chinese entities.
Edelman is a prominent New York real estate lawyer who has cultivated connections in the UAE for decades. He advises the UAE royal family and also serves on the boards of several Tahnoon-affiliated companies, including G42 and MGX. He is a longtime friend of Witkoff and publicly praised him after the election.
Company documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show that the stock acquisition deal brought enormous profits to the founders of World Liberty Financial, with the Trump family, Witkoff family, Folkman, and Herro-related entities quickly reaping financial rewards. Trump's disclosure filings indicate that as of the end of 2024, he personally held 70% of the shares in DT Marks DEFI, with the remaining 30% held by other family members; he did not disclose the ownership structure of DT Marks SC.
Ethical and Legal Controversies

Analysis of the Investment Transaction Details
Donald Trump has long been criticized for maintaining control of his private business empire and receiving foreign profits during his term. During his first term, Democratic lawmakers sued Trump, accusing him of profiting from foreign government patronage of his businesses in violation of the Constitution's Emoluments Clause. Trump called it political persecution, while the Department of Justice argued that Trump's profit-sharing did not constitute emoluments, and the Supreme Court ultimately refused to hear the case.
During his second term, Trump's real estate holding company, the Trump Organization, stated that it would not enter into new deals with foreign governments during his presidency but did not restrict new deals with foreign private businesses, marking a departure from his first term. The company stated that it would donate profits from identifiable foreign government officials at its hotels and other businesses to the U.S. Treasury. World Liberty Financial did not make such a commitment.
Legal experts have suggested that the transaction with Aryam may violate the Emoluments Clause, especially considering the close timing between the UAE Chip Deal and the transaction with World Liberty Financial, creating a significant conflict of interest.
Kathleen Clark, a law professor at the University of Washington and former ethics lawyer for the District of Columbia government, stated that the clause was meant to prevent any government official from being "bought off" by a foreign government. "This appears to be a clear violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause and, more significantly, it looks like a bribe."
She suggested that this transaction "should be a five-alarm warning to the federal government being sold out."
Ty Cobb, who served as a senior White House legal advisor during Trump's first term, claimed that Trump's conflicts of interest far exceeded those of any previous administration, stating, "It's like having a B-52 bomber overhead and you're complaining about kayaking." "As an ethics lawyer, my advice would be crystal clear: Do not engage in commercial dealings with the families of foreign heads of state. It tarnishes American foreign policy."
A White House official stated that World Liberty Financial's business was unrelated to Trump, so any compensation-related allegations were "false and irrelevant." White House Counsel Warrington stated that Trump "has carried out his constitutional duties ethically."
From Chip Deal to Binance Pardon

Trump and Mohammed visited a model of an artificial intelligence data center project during their visit in May last year
After investing in World Liberty Financial, Tahnoon is pushing for the accelerated development of an AI chip.
The sheikh hosted global tech and finance CEOs at the Abu Dhabi royal estate and often posted meeting photos on Instagram, many of which took place on a set of white sofas. He prepared to pledge a significant amount of money to the U.S. and emphasized the UAE's alignment with the U.S. in the AI field.
On Trump's first day in office (five days after Aryam signed an agreement with World Liberty Financial), the President announced at the White House that OpenAI and SoftBank plan to build a $500 billion AI data center project, with Tahnoon's MGX being two of the designated investors. The project has not progressed to date.
Last spring, Trump administration officials began discussing a chip agreement framework with the UAE. Some officials did not see a national security risk, but others still held concerns from the previous administration, believing the technology could ultimately flow to China. Insiders said they discussed schemes to restrict chip control in the agreement, one of which was to exclude UAE companies like G42 from direct acquisition channels, requiring the technology to be held by U.S. partners like Microsoft, OpenAI, etc.
In March, Tahnoon led a delegation to Washington, planning to accelerate U.S. government reviews of UAE investments in the U.S. in addition to the chip agreement. He met with Trump in the Oval Office and pledged that the UAE would invest $1.4 trillion in the U.S. over ten years. An insider said this commitment excited the President, although government officials found it challenging to understand the specifics of the commitment.
On March 18, Trump hosted a dinner for Tahnoon and his delegation at the White House, attended by the Vice President, Secretary of State, Commerce Secretary, Treasury Secretary, and other cabinet members. Tahnoon sat next to Witkoff, with Edelman at the end of the table. Trump later posted photos on Truth Social promoting the "bond of friendship" between the two countries, stating that they discussed strengthening cooperation in the economic and tech sectors.
Former national security officials expressed shock at the level of reception Tahnoon received. During the Biden administration, visiting foreign officials typically only met with equivalent U.S. officials, not the President and six cabinet members.
Meanwhile, Tahnoon's ties with World Liberty Financial are growing stronger. In May, Zach Witkoff announced at a cryptocurrency conference in Dubai that the sheikh's investment company MGX would use World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin to complete a $2 billion investment in Binance, the largest single investment in a cryptocurrency company's history. Zach Witkoff smiled, thanking MGX for "their trust in us."
This move has propelled USD1 into the ranks of the world's largest stablecoins, enhancing its financial credibility and bringing a $2 billion cash reserve to World Liberty Financial. The company will use this fund as a reserve to keep the stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the dollar, and will invest the fund in U.S. Treasury bonds to earn interest, potentially generating around $80 million in profit if held for one year.
MGX told The Wall Street Journal last year that it had evaluated stablecoins on multiple platforms and selected USD1 after considering factors such as "business applicability." A spokesperson for World Liberty Financial called USD1 a "higher-quality product."
Both companies have never disclosed the fact that MGX and World Liberty Financial share management.
In fact, Aryam's transaction laid the foundation for the launch of USD1. This investment was split into two newly formed World Liberty Financial entities, with one responsible for operating the new stablecoin product and the other managing the rest of the company's operations.
A source close to the company said G42's Larkin is in charge of the USD1 project at World Liberty Financial.
Tahnoon's $2 billion investment through MGX in Binance implies an economic interest in pushing for Binance founder CZ to receive a pardon from Trump. This move could pave the way for Binance to re-enter the U.S. market. In 2023, Binance and CZ pleaded guilty to violating anti-money laundering rules and were banned from operating in the U.S.
CZ currently resides in Abu Dhabi, having obtained UAE citizenship several years ago. He has close ties to Tahnoon and has established a strong connection with the UAE royal family.
Insiders said individuals close to the royal family lobbied the Trump administration to pardon CZ, stating that this would help the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange platform re-enter the U.S. Pardoning CZ would also open the door for UAE authorities to issue a comprehensive regulatory license to Binance, completing Binance's plan to establish Abu Dhabi as its new global headquarters and boost the capital's global financial ambitions.
Binance itself is also seeking to re-enter the U.S. through the pardon. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that the company has taken several measures to promote the development of World Liberty Financial's business. CZ denied any business relationship with Trump's cryptocurrency company, while Binance stated that it did not control the stablecoin chosen by MGX, with "limited involvement" in World Liberty Financial's related products. World Liberty Financial denied playing any role in the pardon issue, with its lawyers stating that its dealings with Binance were routine operations. A source close to Steve Witkoff said he was not involved in the CZ pardon matter.
CZ's lawyer Teresa Goody Guillén stated that the pardon of her client did not bring Binance into the U.S. market, as the UAE has been actively attracting cryptocurrency companies. She described the negative interpretation of CZ's pardon as "an unconstitutional usurpation of the presidential pardon power."
On May 8 of last year, the U.S. Treasury Department announced the launch of a fast-track pilot program for foreign investors, which was precisely the investment review acceleration process advocated by the UAE.
During Trump's visit to Abu Dhabi that month, it was announced that the two countries had reached "a very significant agreement" regarding the UAE's purchase of American AI chips. Months later, after further negotiations, the Trump administration approved the sale of 35,000 chips to G42, fewer than the UAE had expected.
During a May demonstration at the royal palace, Trump carefully examined a bright 3D model of the large AI data center project being developed by G42, with Steve Witkoff and Tahnoon looking on. Trump repeatedly mentioned Tahnoon in local meetings, telling UAE President Mohammed that his "good brother" had recently visited Washington; Tahnoon then posted a photo with Trump and Witkoff on Instagram.
Trump predicted that the relationship between the two countries "will only get closer and better." He told Mohammed, "Our relationship is so good right now; it's as good as it can be."
In September, under an agreement negotiated by the Trump administration, MGX became one of the few selected investors to operate TikTok's U.S. business.

On October 22 of last year, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Tahnoon posted a photo on social media.
The following month, Trump pardoned CZ, sparking outrage from Democratic lawmakers who accused him of selling pardons to the highest bidder.
On October 22, the White House confirmed that the day before Trump signed the pardon, a White House official said that Witkoff and Kushner returned to Abu Dhabi to discuss Gaza, Israel, and Trump's peace commission plans. The individual they met with was Tahnoon.
