Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) today reported an approximate $374 million treasury comprised of equity exposures, digital assets and cash as of May 27, 2026.
Summary of holdings (as disclosed):
– $90 million in indirect equity exposure to OpenAI (held via SPVs)
– $18 million equity in Beast Industries
– $1 million in Mythical Games
– 283,452,700 Worldcoin (WLD) (priced at $0.35 per WLD on Coinbase)
– 11,068 Ethereum (ETH)
– Approximately $144 million in cash and stablecoins
Key points and recent developments
– Eightco says its treasury is positioned across three macro trends: artificial intelligence, digital identity and the creator economy, with OpenAI representing roughly 24% of the treasury, Worldcoin about 26%, and Beast Industries about 5%.
– OpenAI: Eightco’s $90 million indirect exposure reflects the Company’s emphasis on AI. Recent headlines cited an OpenAI model that autonomously disproved a decades-old conjecture in discrete geometry, and the company launched ChatGPT Personal Finance for Pro users in the U.S., enabling secure linking of bank, brokerage and credit accounts across 12,000+ institutions. Media reports in late May also suggested OpenAI may be preparing an IPO.
– Worldcoin (WLD): Eightco holds more than 283 million WLD, approximately 8.3% of circulating supply and the largest publicly disclosed institutional position, according to the company. Worldcoin is native to World, a Proof-of-Human network built by Tools for Humanity; its Orb devices issue a privacy-preserving World ID that verifies a user is a unique human rather than an AI agent. World has announced a business model in which applications pay per-verification fees while end-user verification remains free, and Tools for Humanity estimates a multi-trillion-dollar addressable revenue opportunity across banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media and agentic AI.
– Beast Industries: Eightco has a $18 million stake in Beast Industries, the media and creator platform founded by Jimmy Donaldson (MrBeast). Beast recently presented a two-sided creator marketplace and a distribution engine called Vyro, and guided full-year 2026 revenue to $1.6 billion.
Non-human activity and Proof-of-Human relevance
– Eightco highlighted independent and third-party data indicating a growing share of internet activity is generated by bots or AI agents. Cited estimates include non-human shares such as 75% of Polymarket trading volume, 53% of web traffic, 47% of emails sent, 44% of U.S. equity buy-side execution, 35% of new website creation and 30% of online product reviews. The company argues these trends reinforce demand for Proof-of-Human solutions like World ID.
Management view
– Board member Thomas Lee said the demonstrated reasoning capabilities of advanced AI models reinforce Eightco’s investment thesis and the prominence of OpenAI in its balance sheet.

Forward-looking information and risks
– The company reiterated standard forward-looking disclaimers: statements about future adoption, revenue, product roadmaps, valuations, regulatory developments, and market trends involve risks and uncertainties.
