EASTON, Pa., May 28, 2026 — Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) disclosed a May 27, 2026 snapshot of its treasury, reporting roughly $374 million in assets and highlighting concentrated exposure to artificial intelligence, digital identity and the creator economy.
Snapshot of holdings (as of May 27, 2026, 4:00 p.m. ET):
– $90 million invested indirectly in OpenAI (via special purpose vehicles)
– $18 million equity investment in Beast Industries
– $1 million investment in Mythical Games
– 283,452,700 Worldcoin (WLD) valued at $0.35 per WLD (Coinbase price)
– 11,068 Ethereum (ETH)
– Approximately $144 million in cash and stablecoins
Total: approximately $374 million.
Portfolio highlights and recent company news
– OpenAI: Eightco’s indirect OpenAI exposure represents about 24% of its reported treasury assets. The company noted that an internal OpenAI reasoning model recently produced an autonomous proof that resolved a long-standing conjecture in discrete geometry, a development Eightco says underscores the strength of advanced reasoning models. OpenAI also rolled out ChatGPT Personal Finance for Pro users in the U.S., expanding integrations with financial accounts, and media reports have suggested OpenAI may be preparing an IPO.
– Worldcoin (WLD): Eightco holds over 283 million WLD (roughly 8.3% of circulating supply), making it one of the largest publicly disclosed institutional positions. WLD accounts for about 26% of Eightco’s treasury by value. Worldcoin underpins the World protocol and its Orb devices, which issue a privacy-preserving World ID intended to verify a unique human identity (a solution the company frames as addressing the growing prevalence of non-human or synthetic actors online). Tools for Humanity has described an addressable revenue opportunity across industries if verification fees are adopted by applications.
– Beast Industries: Eightco’s $18 million stake (about 5% of the treasury) provides exposure to the creator-economy play led by Jimmy Donaldson (MrBeast). Beast has introduced a creator marketplace and a distribution engine called Vyro, and management guided full-year 2026 revenue toward $1.6 billion, up from $899 million in 2025.
Context on non-human internet activity
Eightco highlighted third-party data indicating significant non-human activity across multiple online domains, citing estimates that non-human or automated actors account for: 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. Eightco argues these trends increase demand for reliable proof-of-human authentication.
Strategic thesis
Eightco says its treasury is intentionally concentrated in three macro themes it expects to shape the next decade: AI (OpenAI exposure), digital identity (Worldcoin), and the creator economy (Beast Industries). The company describes its WLD holdings and OpenAI exposure as core to a strategy providing single-ticker access to these trends.
Cautionary note
Eightco’s release reiterates standard forward-looking disclaimers: the holdings include indirect and non-controlling interests; values are subject to market volatility (particularly digital assets such as WLD and ETH); and outcomes for private companies, product rollouts, regulatory developments, and broader adoption of proof-of-human systems are uncertain. Investors should review Eightco’s SEC filings for additional risk disclosures.
