Trump's $800 million crypto stake — An $800 million cryptocurrency stake linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump has been transferred into a vesting contract, locking the assets from sale until 2028.

On-chain records show the movement of the massive holding, which matches a previously identified Trump-linked wallet, into the new contract. The transfer initiates a mandatory 10% token burn, reducing the total position before the vesting period begins.

The lock-up prevents any sales of the remaining tokens for approximately four years, effectively removing a large potential supply overhang from the market. The stake is tied to World Liberty Financial’s token.

This move provides a definitive timeline for when the substantial position could become liquid, a factor market participants have monitored since the stake’s initial identification.
