World Foundation Raises $65 Million in WLD OTC Sales With Partial Lockup

The fundraising underscores liquidity needs in the face of a looming supply surge.

Overview

  • World Foundation, which disclosed the deals Saturday, sold about 239 million WLD to four buyers for $65 million at an average price near $0.2719.
  • $25 million worth of the tokens are locked for six months to slow immediate resale, with settlements handled through a designated World Assets multisignature wallet.
  • The first settlement cleared on March 20, marking the start of a week of transactions that the organization says have now closed.
  • The foundation says the cash will fund core operations, research and development, manufacturing of Orb iris‑scanning devices, and growth of the broader ecosystem.
  • WLD fell to a record low near $0.2444 over the weekend, and a July 23, 2026 unlock will release roughly 52.5% of total supply, a scale that could add more selling pressure.
