I notice that many people are having a hard time understanding WLFI’s initial supply and how it connects to the market cap.
Don’t worry, I’ll take your hand and walk you through the math. Hold tight, I won’t disappoint.
Step 1: The Total Supply
WLFI launched with a fixed total supply of 100,000,000,000 (100B) tokens. That’s the full number we always measure everything against.
Step 2: Breaking the Supply into Two Parts
We can split the 100B into:
1. Initial Circulating Supply (~24.7%)
These are allocations that are counted as unlocked or active at launch.
2. Locked Supply (~75.3%)
Reserved for team, institutions, and long-term programs. Not available day one.
Step 3: Inside the Initial Circulating Supply (~24.7B WLFI)
Now, here’s where people get confused. Let’s open it up:
10B (10%) WLFI Inc. ecosystem allocation. Unlocked, but set aside for ecosystem growth, partnerships, and burns. NOT TRADABLE ON DAY 1.
7.78B (~8%) ALT5 Sigma allocation. Locked as part of their Treasury strategy. NOT TRADABLE ON DAY 1.
2.88B (~3%) Liquidity & marketing support. Used for CEX/DEX liquidity pools and exchange operations.
Controlled liquidity, not freely tradable.
4B (~4%) → Presale participant unlock (20% of their allocation)
This is the true free-float supply, the tokens that public investors can actually trade.
TRADABLE!
Step 4: What Was Really Tradable on Day 1?
So even though 24.7% is officially counted as circulating, the actual tradable float that hit the market was much smaller:
Active tradable supply = ~4B WLFI (4%)
Add to that the controlled liquidity pools (~3%), and you get the real active supply range.
This is the portion that shaped price discovery on day one, not the full 24.7% headline figure.
Step 5: Why This Matters
This clarity removes the fog:
Circulating supply (24.7%) is not the same as Active tradable supply (~4–7%).
Big allocations (ALT5, WLFI Inc.) are locked or reserved, not dumped on the market.
The day-one float was small, making WLFI’s price more sensitive and aligned with early holders.
Takeaway
You can see that day-one tradable tokens were limited.
With this understanding, we can support WLFI with confidence, because supply mechanics are on our side.
If the number still doesn’t add up, let me know in the comments below. I’m patient enough to answer it thoroughly as I can.
