Claim
A UAE-linked investment company bought a half stake in World Liberty Financial.
“इसमें यूएई से जुड़ी एक निवेश कंपनी ने आधी हिस्सेदारी खरीद ली”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple reputable outlets, citing a Wall Street Journal investigation published Feb 1, 2026 (before the July 2 broadcast), report that Aryam Investment 1—an Abu Dhabi/UAE-linked investment vehicle backed by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan—acquired a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial for $500 million. A 49% stake reasonably matches the claim of 'half stake' (आधी हिस्सेदारी), so the anchor's statement is substantially accurate; the only minor imprecision is that the stake was 49%, not exactly 50%.
