Eightco Discloses $321 Million Treasury Concentrated in Worldcoin and a $90 Million OpenAI Stake

The Nasdaq-listed firm is pitching ORBS as a rare public gateway to private AI plus creator assets for retail investors.

Overview

  • Eightco said its holdings total about $321 million, including Worldcoin, Ethereum, a $90 million OpenAI position, a $25 million Beast Industries stake, and $110 million in cash and stablecoins.
  • The company holds 277,222,975 Worldcoin, which it says is nearly 9% of the circulating supply, making it the largest public participant in the Worldcoin ecosystem.
  • Eightco said the OpenAI investment equals about 30% of its treasury, and its CEO claims ORBS gives retail buyers the most public-market access to OpenAI.
  • The company reports $130 million in new funding commitments led by an $80 million pledge from Bitmine, with ARK Invest and Payward each committing $25 million.
  • Independent crypto coverage frames ORBS as a listed proxy for concentrated bets on OpenAI and Worldcoin, a structure that could swing with token prices and private valuations.
