Eightco Holdings Reports $406 Million Treasury, Including Stakes in OpenAI, Worldcoin, and Beast Industries
Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) today provided an update on its total holdings, highlighting its positions across digital assets and strategic investments in leading private technology companies.
As of 15 July 2026 at 4:30 p.m. ET, ORBS’s holdings include a $90 million investment (indirectly, via SPV) in OpenAI, an $18 million investment in Beast Industries, a $1 million investment in Mythical Games, 283,452,700 Worldcoin (WLD) at $0.41 per WLD (per Coinbase), 16,278 Ethereum (ETH), and approximately $148 million in cash and stablecoins, totalling roughly $406 million.
ORBS management believes the company’s treasury portfolio holds some of the most important components for the future of AI and digital financial systems. Key developments this week include reports that OpenAI is developing a humanoid AI companion product for the home, marking its foray into the hardware business and competition with Apple, Google, and others (Bloomberg). On 9 July, OpenAI launched GPT-5.6 Sol with improved token efficiency, enhanced coding, science, and cybersecurity capabilities, multi-modal support, and new features such as GPT-Live. The launch was phased and limited following a request from the U.S. government regarding national security concerns. Sol features an ‘ultra’ mode for more difficult tasks and advanced safety features (OpenAI).
Additionally, 24 July 2026 marks a significant milestone for the World token issuance schedule. As outlined in World’s original whitepaper, the largest three-year token unlock period on the network is expected to end, reducing the number of WLD tokens entering circulation daily by approximately 43%, from around 5.1 million tokens to roughly 2.9 million tokens. ORBS currently holds 283,452,700 WLD, representing approximately 8% of the circulating supply and the largest publicly disclosed WLD holding globally. While ORBS’s holdings will not change on 24 July, the rate of new token issuance is expected to slow significantly, with WLD continuing to enter circulation but at roughly half the previous daily rate, substantially slowing overall supply growth (World).
‘OpenAI continues to incrementally improve ChatGPT’s capabilities, resulting in significant progress to date. The token efficiency improvements have been welcomed by many users,’ said Thomas ‘Tom’ Lee, Member of the Board of Directors of Eightco. ‘We believe ORBS is extremely well positioned for the future. As AI becomes more personal and autonomous, we expect Proof of Human will be one of the most valuable assets in the digital economy.’
Eightco is built on three mega-trends expected to shape innovation over the next decade: artificial intelligence, digital identity, and the creator economy, with exposure to each through indirect investments in OpenAI (22% of ORBS treasury assets), Worldcoin (29%), and Beast Industries (4%).
Eightco has invested approximately $90 million in Special Purpose Vehicles that hold exposure to equity interests in OpenAI’s parent company, representing roughly 22% of treasury assets and one of the highest disclosed concentrations among listed companies. ChatGPT, OpenAI’s consumer application, is the number one consumer AI app globally and surpassed 900 million weekly active users in February 2026, making it the fastest-growing consumer technology in history (UBS via Reuters).
Eightco holds over 283 million WLD, approximately 8% of the circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally and representing roughly 29% of Eightco’s treasury assets. Worldcoin is the native token of World, a global Proof of Human network created by Tools for Humanity (founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania) and governed by the World Foundation. Its Orb device issues privacy-preserving World IDs, verifying users are unique humans and not AI agents. Under World’s announced business model, applications pay per verification while end-user verification remains free, and credential issuers and the World protocol monetise verified human authentication. World has identified a combined addressable revenue opportunity of $6.35 trillion across 13 industries including banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media, and agentic AI (per Tools for Humanity).
Eightco has invested $18 million in equity of Beast Industries, representing approximately 4% of treasury assets.
