WLFI Holdings Valued at Approximately US$380 Million1
Company Continues to View WLFI as a Strategic Balance Sheet Asset
LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / June 10, 2026 / AI Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:AIFC)(FRA:5AR1) (“AiFi” or the “Company”), a fintech company providing blockchain-powered payment, trading, and settlement infrastructure for digital assets, today announced enhancements to the Company’s liquidity position.
In its Current Report on Form 8-K filed today, the Company disclosed that 3,321,690,994 WLFI tokens2 held by the Company can provide it with significant liquidity, as they are currently available for it to use as collateral for a loan transaction, for it to stake in connection with the WLF Protocol, and for it to use in a lending transaction.3 Further, these tokens are expected to become fully transferable on August 12, 2026, pursuant to the original terms governing such holdings. The Company’s other 3,583,585,650 WLFI tokens remain subject to a 12-month contractual lock-up previously agreed to by the Company and are expected to become fully transferable on August 12, 2026, pursuant to the original terms governing such holdings.4
Based on the current market value of the Company’s WLFI token holdings, the first portion represents in excess of US$180 million5 of digital assets available to support the Company’s strategic initiatives, liquidity requirements, and growth objectives.
Tony Isaac, Chief Executive Officer of AI Financial Corporation, commented: “We believe it is important to provide our stockholders with transparency regarding the strength and liquidity of our balance sheet. Approximately half of our WLFI holdings are currently available for our use, which provides the Company with significant financial flexibility and strategic alternatives. Importantly, availability for use should not be interpreted as an intention by the Company to sell these holdings. We continue to view our WLFI tokens as a strategic balance sheet asset and remain committed to preserving our long-term exposure to their potential value creation.”
Isaac continued, “As previously disclosed, the Company may choose to leverage its digital asset holdings in a variety of ways, including as collateral for financing, to support strategic initiatives, or through other capital-efficient structures designed to enhance stockholder value, while maintaining ownership exposure. We remain committed to a disciplined capital allocation strategy focused on maximizing long-term stockholder returns, while supporting the continued growth of our operating businesses and strategic initiatives.”
Management believes that the availability for use of a substantial portion of the Company’s WLFI token holdings materially strengthens the Company’s liquidity profile and addresses a significant factor underlying the going concern disclosure contained in the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on information currently available to management, the Company believes it possesses sufficient liquidity and financial resources to fund its anticipated operations and satisfy its obligations for at least the next 12 months. Accordingly, management’s current belief is that the conditions that gave rise to the previously disclosed substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern have been substantially mitigated.
The Company notes that the aggregate market value of its WLFI holdings is currently approximately US$380 million, based on recent market prices, with more than US$180 million presently represented by available holdings.
1 Based on 6,905,276,644 WLFI tokens with a WLFI token value of US$0.055 per token as of 7:00 p.m. EDT on June 9, 2026.
2 The number is exclusive of approximately 378,310,000 WLFI tokens currently pledged as collateral for the Company’s previously disclosed loan from WLFI, which tokens will be returned to the Company at the time of repayment of principal and accrued interest.
3 Availability is subject to the conditions in an ancillary agreement with WLFI, which are substantially similar to the three criteria described above.
4 The lapse in restrictions is also subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement to provide for the resale of shares of the Company’s common stock that the Company issued to WLFI at the closing of the August 2025 transaction, the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the pre-funded warrants that the Company granted to WLFI at that closing, and the shares of our common stock underlying the “Lead Investor” warrants that we granted to WLFI at that closing.
5 Based on 3,321,690,994 WLFI tokens and a WLFI token value of US$0.055 per token as of 7:00 p.m. EDT on June 9, 2026.
