"Four days before Donald Trump’s inauguration last year, lieutenants to an Abu Dhabi royal secretly signed a deal with the Trump family to purchase a 49% stake in their fledgling cryptocurrency venture for half a billion dollars, according to company documents and people familiar with the matter. The buyers would pay half up front, steering $187 million to Trump family entities.

The deal with World Liberty Financial, which hasn’t previously been reported, was signed by Eric Trump, the president’s son. At least $31 million was also slated to flow to entities affiliated with.."

"What wasn’t publicly known: Tahnoon’s emissaries had signed the deal to purchase 49% of World Liberty that January.

Of the first $250 million installment from the Tahnoon-backed company, called Aryam Investment 1, $187 million was directed to Trump family entities DT Marks DEFI LLC and DT Marks SC LLC, the documents said. In addition to the payout to Witkoff family entities, another $31 million was directed to an entity tied to co-founders Zak Folkman and Chase Herro. The Journal couldn’t determine how the second half of Aryam’s investment, which was due by July 15, 2025, may have been distributed.

The agreement would make Aryam World Liberty’s largest shareholder, and the firm’s only known investor outside of its founders. The deal placed two Aryam executives, who also held top positions at Tahnoon’s G42, on World Liberty’s five-person board, which at the time included Eric Trump and Zach Witkoff—Steve Witkoff’s son, the documents said.

Trump’s real-estate company has courted deals with foreign companies since his election, and the president has accepted gifts from foreign governments, including a $400 million luxury airliner from Qatar. But the World Liberty deal is the only known case of a foreign government official purchasing a major stake in a Trump company after his election."

I expect this is just a small part of the secret deals that Gulf princes make with the United States in general and Trump in particular. I believe there are much larger, undisclosed secret deals.

The royal families in the Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, are secretly making many deals with the United States. While these may appear to be economic deals, they are in reality political deals whose primary goal is to secure US support to solidify the rule of these royal families.

Here in the Arab world, the Gulf states are often criticized for paying billions of dollars to the United States while most Arab populations suffer from extreme poverty. It would be better to spend these billions on their impoverished Arab brothers and sisters instead of giving them to Trump.

This ends up giving credibility to crypto detractors like Elizabeth Warren who said that foreign governments could have influence on American policy by bribing Trump through his many crypto projects. What little support there might have been on the Democratic side for pro-crypto legislation seems to be gone now.

The open corruption also damages how regular people see crypto. You can go on any social media and you will see there is a lot of pessimism and frustration with Trump’s actions. Trump has only sought to benefit himself without thinking about how crypto might be affected negatively.

Top Democrat Launches Probe Into ‘Spy Sheikh’ Deal With Trump Company
World Liberty said lawmakers are ‘harassing a private American business to score political points’
https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/top-democrat-launches-probe-into-spy-sheikh-deal-with-trump-company-ea59ec8e
"The top Democrat on a House committee overseeing U.S.-China competition has launched an investigation into a $500 million investment by an Abu Dhabi royal in a Trump family cryptocurrency company and is urging a U.S. attorney to probe the deal as well.

In a letter to Zach Witkoff, CEO of the Trump-backed World Liberty Financial, California Rep. Ro Khanna sent a list of 16 questions and requested documents related to the company’s agreement with the Abu Dhabi royal, a deal first reported by The Wall Street Journal."

Binance—Whose Founder Was Pardoned—Now Holds 87% Of Trump’s Stablecoin

Binance holds about 87% of USD1, the stablecoin issued by a Trump family crypto venture—a greater concentration than any other major stablecoin has at a single exchange—underscoring the depth of the financial relationship between Binance, whose founder Trump pardoned in October, and World Liberty Financial, which already has added an estimated $1 billion to President Donald Trump’s net worth.

Rumors, gossip. But Trump's presidential term will soon end, and according to US law, no one can serve as president for more than eight years. I expect investigations in a couple of years to be more ambitious than the one involving the FTX exchange.

"A coordinated attack was launched against USD1 this morning. Attackers hacked several WLFI cofounder accounts, paid influencers to spread FUD, and opened massive $WLFI shorts to profit from the manufactured chaos.

It didn’t work.

Thanks to USD1’s sound mint-and-redeem mechanism and full 1:1 backing, we are trading steadily at par. No scammer can shake the long-term commitment of the entire WLFI team and cofounders to USD1.

Here’s How Much Donald Trump Is Worth
Crypto cash and court rulings have combined to make America’s billionaire-in-chief much, much richer over the past year.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/luisakroll/2026/03/10/heres-how-much-donald-trump-is-worth/

"Donald Trump’s second term as president has so far paid off handsomely for the billionaire head of state. Whether striking deals in the Middle East, shilling his crypto coins or hosting luminaries at his properties, Trump has proven that he and his family are very much still in business. The president is now worth $6.5 billion, according to Forbes’ latest World’s Billionaires list, up by $1.4 billion from a year ago. He ranks 645th among the planet’s 3,428 billionaires, up from 700th in 2025.

For that, Trump can largely thank crypto dealings. He has netted an estimated $550 million over the past year from sales of crypto tokens issued by World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture he and his family launched in September 2024. Then he and his partners in the company—including his billionaire special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and his family—reportedly sold a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial to Aryam Investment, a firm backed by the United Arab Emirates' national security advisor and UAE royal family member Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan. That put an additional $200 million in Trump’s pockets, Forbes estimates. “[Gulf leaders] know how to deal with this American president,” a former diplomat with experience in the region told Forbes last fall. “They learned it the first time around, but he was himself constrained in how blatantly he could solicit money. He's unconstrained now.”

Trump is still sitting on millions of crypto tokens, both of World Liberty Financial ($WLFI) and his memecoin, $TRUMP. Forbes values both at a discount, but they still add up to nearly $570 million combined for the president. Then there’s the value of his remaining 38% stake in World Liberty Financial (which issues the USD1 stablecoin) as an operating business, which Forbes estimates to be worth $240 million.

Tracking Trump
Trump also got a major boost last August when an appeals court threw out the civil penalty he was ordered to pay in a civil fraud case in New York. That meant he was off the hook for $517 million he had owed in the case, including interest, wiping a major liability from his books while New York’s attorney general Letitia James appeals the decision."

For comparison

https://www.forbes.com/sites/ninabambysheva/2026/03/10/binance-founder-cz-is-now-richer-than-bill-gates/
"A year and a half ago, Changpeng Zhao was just getting out of jail. After a sweeping investigation into Binance, the cryptocurrency exchange he founded in 2017, Zhao (better known by his initials, CZ) pleaded guilty to failing to maintain an effective anti-money laundering program and agreed to pay a $50 million fine (on top of $4.3 billion paid by Binance), resign as CEO and serve four months in a California prison.

What a difference 17 months makes.

Forbes estimates that CZ is now richer than ever. His net worth has skyrocketed to $110 billion, up $47 billion from last year, on the annual World’s Billionaire’s list. CZ now ranks as the 17th-wealthiest person on the planet, by our count, and one of just 20 people worth twelve figures. He is richer than Bill Gates."

including a $400 million luxury airliner from Qatar. But the World Liberty deal is the only known case of a foreign government official purchasing a major stake in a Trump company after his election."

The public may know that the Trump family has a business company that operates in the crypto/stock sector, we understand this, the increasing pro-crypto policies of several countries are due to Trump becoming the second US president, It's not surprising that Qatar is enthusiastic about investing in the Trump Family company, they know the laws and regulations are clear if the Trump Family is in control.

Not only is Qatar participating, I see several other countries also joining in the business of the Trump family company, such as WLFI, American Bitcoin Corp and so on.
For example: what I saw.

• United Arab Emirates (UAE): The largest investors, including the Aqua One Foundation and Aryam Investment (associated with Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan), are funding the World Liberty Financial project.

• Abu Dhabi (MGX): The state investment firm bought a stake in Binance using the Trump family's USD1 stablecoin.

• Justin Sun (Crypto Figure): Purchaser of millions of dollars worth of World Liberty Financial tokens tied to SEC investigation.

This proves that crypto businesses with the US or the Trump family have legal and long-term responsibilities.

They can't have Greenland. See what happened on Thule.

My session timed out as I was about to hit back. I end up excusing for some nigger if you keep it up.

I was drilling holes in the floor. Still a protestant. Hit the bridge! Holes in the ground! Dust from the floor!

Spend half my life on a ferry. Who cares? Drinking and laughing hard. Check the bowl.

You get tricked in to believing movements is the gasoline.

I tell the family they are dead if they start calling me. Paying a dollar per minute. You better get Greenland out of that shit. Since it's Pwned. 1337. (hate pure as sunshine).

You get a dog licking your face when you ain't breathing.

[Easteregg69]

The dogs loves it when it's only a game. Beyond threats.

Greenland need wakening time before you shake it up. They rather be Danish. Bread talking.

it's time to switch energy form. It's the the time before you realized that the universe expands.

Windmills is not a threat to whales. Claims on the table. Since we outsource it to place where your not at.

You be a specie. We need Donald to pick a visitor. Some idiot that is not stupid would make a good start.

 I let you go as it is. You know my will when it gets to revenge. I love you as it gets granted and implicit. You know how to make friends with the Lord by now. By taking what is granted.

Tell you the Lord is self evident. Sup? Most is linked to confidence. I don't walk around doing shit in another mans name. The shift you never needed.

Like the Lord sworn one Done of and called him Stain. Some shit that was not supposed to be alive. Bragging about dead pop stars. We see if you pass.

I need Israel to go popping red head on this one. Since I was invited. Colonial history. You act like you rather stay home. To get beyond Hells Kitchen with Adam sound pig and the memories.

You tell Donald I want the states to fire him and I jump in and say it's enough now. You don't take it for covid if it ain't that.

You tell the President he can write fucking on his own media. The truth. What it came to.

So we ended up with stars instead and angel investors. Some shit that is not involved in ruining the world. Get a pause.

I plan on pouring salty oil over the pizza. With sausage flavour. The crust would be where you would be satisfied. I use the the credit card like i have no brain when it comes to that. All right. A brain to remember the PIN. Working.

We got you gone to the bed waking up hungry starting to make food. Shelf check.

World Liberty said lawmakers are ‘harassing a private American business to score political points’

This is the usual thing for cases like this. One will say the other is harassing him for political reasons, and with time, the actual case will be forgotten, but what will be remembered is their different parties. So in the end, it would now become a case of democrats against republicans.

The royal families in the Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, are secretly making many deals with the United States. While these may appear to be economic deals, they are in reality political deals whose primary goal is to secure US support to solidify the rule of these royal families.

Power and control are all that matters, and creating alliances in the form of deals is one of the ways to do that. Having an alliance with the president of the biggest economy in the world solidifies their place. these kind of deals are never made without political motivations. Other deals are even more secretive than this that we don't even hear about them. It's the way of the world. It doesn't matter what they could have spent that money on.
The US can cut it's military budget in half, use the other half in other sectors of the economy to make people's life better and still remain the country with the biggest military budget in the world, but they will not, There is a reason for this.
