On May 21, 2026, Eightco Holdings (ORBS) revealed a substantial $337M treasury portfolio, featuring significant OpenAI investments, a considerable Worldcoin stake, and more than 11,000 Ethereum tokens, while shares advanced 1.02%.
The firm maintains $90M invested in special purpose vehicles connected to OpenAI, providing the company with indirect access to the artificial intelligence leader despite lacking a direct ownership position. This allocation constitutes approximately 27% of the company’s overall treasury.
The Worldcoin holdings consist of 283.45M WLD tokens, currently priced around $0.25 per token. This positions the WLD investment at roughly $71M — representing about 21% of total treasury value and 8.31% of Worldcoin’s complete circulating token supply.
Eightco additionally maintains 11,068 ETH alongside approximately $133M in cash and stablecoin holdings, establishing its liquid assets as the portfolio’s most substantial individual segment.
Beast Industries Investment and OpenAI Momentum Generate Interest
The company’s $18M investment in Beast Industries — the media enterprise associated with content creator MrBeast — has captured market interest following management’s revenue forecast of $1.6B for 2026, presented during an advertiser briefing on May 12. This represents substantial growth from $899M recorded in 2025.
OpenAI continues to be a central investment focus. The artificial intelligence company unveiled its “Deployment Company” joint venture initiative on May 11, while The Wall Street Journal disclosed on May 20 that OpenAI could be advancing toward a public market listing.
Eightco further emphasized the rollout of ChatGPT Personal Finance functionality in the United States for Pro subscribers as a noteworthy development from one of its primary portfolio companies.
The treasury also includes a smaller position in Mythical Games, valued at approximately $1M.
Strategic Rationale Behind Worldcoin Investment
Eightco’s substantial commitment to Worldcoin stems from a targeted investment hypothesis: the proliferation of automated and non-human digital activity is generating increasing demand for human verification technologies.
The company referenced Fundstrat research indicating that automated activity currently represents 75% of Polymarket trading volume, 53% of internet traffic, and 47% of worldwide email communications.
Worldcoin’s Proof of Human infrastructure is designed to address this verification challenge, with Eightco maintaining what appears to be the largest publicly reported institutional WLD token position.
At the time of the treasury announcement, shares were registering a technical sentiment indicator of “Sell,” while TipRanks’ artificial intelligence analyst assigned a Neutral rating — highlighting persistent operating losses and cash consumption as primary concerns.
The company’s market capitalization stands at $349.2M with average daily share volume exceeding 25.6M.
