A cryptocurrency company backed by U.S. President Donald Trump is collaborating with a Hong Kong based venture that provides access to artificial intelligence models developed by Chinese companies facing U.S. national security restrictions.

WorldClaw offers access to 90 AI models through its platform and accepts World Liberty Financial’s crypto tokens as payment. A Reuters review found that 43 of those models were developed by Chinese companies, including Alibaba, Baidu and Z.ai.

Trump Family Stands to Benefit

The collaboration has drawn scrutiny because the Trump family owns a 38% stake in World Liberty Financial and earns revenue from the use of its crypto tokens.

WorldClaw accepts World Liberty’s USD1 stablecoin for its AI services. The stablecoin is backed by traditional assets including U.S. Treasury securities, with the Trump family entitled to a share of the interest generated by those assets.

Reuters could not determine how much revenue the Trump family has earned specifically from WorldClaw.
