Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) Reports Total Holdings of Approximately $380 Million, Includes OpenAI, Beast Industries, More Than 16,000 ETH and Nearly 302 Million WLD Tokens
Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) reported approximately $380 million in total holdings as of September 2, 2026. The company's treasury includes a $90 million indirect investment in OpenAI and an $18 million investment in Beast Industries. Eightco also holds 16,278 Ethereum (ETH) and nearly 302 million Worldcoin (WLD) tokens, valued at $0.37 per WLD. Additionally, the holdings comprise $122 million in cash and stablecoins. Eightco recently repurchased over 25 million shares of its common stock under a $125 million share repurchase program.
Eightco's reported treasury composition, with significant allocations to OpenAI and Worldcoin, points to a strategy focused on AI and digital identity. The $90 million indirect investment in OpenAI represents 24% of its treasury, while its nearly 302 million WLD tokens account for 29%. This makes Eightco a notable institutional holder of Worldcoin, a project co-founded by Sam Altman that aims to establish a global Proof of Human network using Orb devices for identity verification. The company's emphasis on these assets reflects a belief that AI and digital financial systems will drive future innovation. For Asian markets, this strategy could influence investment trends, particularly in startups developing AI applications or digital identity solutions. The significant WLD holdings, representing 8.3% of circulating supply, suggest a strong conviction in Worldcoin's potential to monetize verified-human authentication, which could have implications for digital identity frameworks across Asia.
