EASTON, Pa., March 31, 2026 — Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) provided an update on the composition and value of its treasury, underscoring a growing allocation to digital assets and strategic stakes in leading private tech companies.
As of March 30, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. ET, Eightco’s reported holdings included: 277,222,975 Worldcoin (WLD) valued at $0.28 per WLD (Coinbase price), 11,068 Ethereum (ETH), an approximate $90 million indirect position in OpenAI, a $25 million investment in Beast Industries, and $109 million in cash and stablecoins. These positions sum to roughly $326 million.
OpenAI accounts for about 30% of the Company’s total treasury value. With nearly 9% of the circulating WLD supply, Eightco is the largest public market participant in the Worldcoin ecosystem.
“Eightco’s mission is to give public investors access to some of the most consequential private technology companies,” said Kevin O’Donnell, Eightco’s Chief Executive Officer. “By combining holdings in AI leaders, digital identity protocols, and next-generation consumer platforms, we are assembling a portfolio designed to participate in the major technology transitions ahead.”
The Company’s shareholder base and backers include strategic and institutional names such as Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), MOZAYYX, ARK Invest, Payward (parent of Kraken), World Foundation, Coinfund, Discovery Capital Management, FalconX, Pantera, GSR, and others.
Earlier, Eightco announced $130 million in new funding commitments led by an $80 million investment from Bitmine Immersion Technologies, with ARK Invest and Payward each committing $25 million. That capital is intended to support continued investments across artificial intelligence, blockchain infrastructure, and global digital consumer platforms.
“Eightco is creating a public-market on-ramp to the companies shaping the AI era,” said Brett Winton, Chief Futurist at ARK Invest and an ORBS board advisor. “Expanding public investor access to influential private technology companies helps bridge a meaningful gap between public markets and transformative innovation.”
