World Foundation Sells Large Quantity of WLD Tokens at Significant Discount

The World Foundation has sold a large quantity of WLD crypto tokens at significantly discounted prices. According to reports, the foundation sold 239 million WLD tokens for approximately $65 million to four institutional counterparties. This sale represents one of the steepest discounts on record, with a price that is only 11.4% above the token's floor value in March 2026.

The sale was structured as a private OTC (over-the-counter) transaction, which allows for negotiated prices without direct order-book impact. The foundation distributed counterparty concentration risk by routing the tokens through World Assets, Ltd. to four separate buyers. This approach also allowed the foundation to limit immediate secondary-market pressure from the institutional buyers.

It is worth noting that $25 million of the deal is subject to a six-month lockup agreement, which will limit the immediate supply of WLD tokens on the market. The remaining $40 million in tokens carries no disclosed lockup, meaning those buyers have immediate optionality on their positions.
