Key Highlights
Eightco Holdings (ORBS) disclosed a treasury investment portfolio valued at $337 million on May 21, 2026, which includes significant investments in OpenAI, a substantial holding in Worldcoin, and over 11,000 Ethereum, resulting in a stock price increase of 1.02%.
The company invested $90 million in a special purpose vehicle related to OpenAI, gaining exposure to this AI leader without directly holding its shares. This portion of the investment accounts for approximately 27% of its total treasury value.
The total investment in Worldcoin amounts to 283.45 million WLD tokens, currently priced at nearly $0.25 each. This values the WLD holding at around $71 million, representing about 21% of the overall treasury holdings and 8.31% of the global circulating supply of Worldcoin.
Beast Industries Collaboration with OpenAI Sparks Market Interest
The company’s $18 million investment in Beast Industries has garnered significant market attention, as management projected revenues of $1.6 billion for 2026 during a presentation to advertisers on May 12. This forecast indicates a substantial increase compared to the $899 million recorded in 2025.
Eightco also highlighted the recently launched ChatGPT personal finance feature for U.S. professional users as a key development within its major investment holdings.
The treasury statement also mentioned a small investment in Mythical Games, approximately $1 million.
Strategic Considerations for Worldcoin Investment
Eightco's investment in Worldcoin is primarily based on a unique investment theory: the growing non-human online activities are driving the demand for human verification systems.
The company cited research from Fundstrat, noting that automated activities now account for 75% of Polymarket trading volume, 53% of internet traffic, and 47% of global email communications.
Worldcoin's “proof of humanity” infrastructure aims to address this verification challenge, while Eightco maintains the largest institutional holding of WLD tokens in public reports.
The current market capitalization stands at $349.2 million, with an average daily trading volume exceeding 25.6 million shares.
