Sam Altman’s World Foundation sells $65M in WLD as token hits new lows
Sam Altman’s World Foundation just cashed out $65 million in WLD tokens via an OTC sale — and the timing couldn't be more brutal. The token is scraping record lows while the foundation offloads at a steep discount. This is not a drill.
World Assets, the token issuance arm, dumped ~239 million WLD to four counterparties over the past week, with the first tranche settling March 20. Average price? Roughly $0.27 per token. That’s a fire-sale discount compared to last year’s $1.13 raise.
“This sale funds the project’s core operations and activities, R&D, orb manufacturing, ecosystem development, and more.” — World Foundation on X
Of the $65M total, $25M worth of tokens are locked for six months. The rest? Liquid. Immediate selling pressure just injected into a bleeding market.
WLD hits new low
After the announcement, WLD briefly nosedived to an all-time low of ~$0.24 before crawling back to $0.27. That’s a brutal 97% drop from its March 2024 peak near $11.82. Current price: $0.2725, up a pathetic 0.28% in 24h.
More pain incoming: A massive community token unlock is scheduled for July 23, covering ~52.5% of the token’s 10 billion total supply. That’s a tsunami of new tokens about to hit the market.
Thailand raids World-linked iris scanning site
Regulatory heat keeps rising. In October 2025, Thai authorities raided an iris-scanning site linked to World. The SEC and Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau said the service may have violated digital asset laws by operating without a license. Arrests were made. Investigation ongoing.
This adds to World’s global regulatory nightmare. Since launching in 2023, the project has faced probes and bans in Indonesia, Germany, Kenya, and Brazil. Concerns? Licensing issues and sketchy handling of biometric data. Not a good look.
