Eightco Holdings Inc. reported approximately $378 million in total holdings as of 4:00 p.m. ET on Aug. 5, 2026, with Worldcoin, an indirect stake in OpenAI, cash and stablecoins forming the largest parts of a treasury that now spans digital assets and private technology companies.
The company said it held 301,971,219 Worldcoin tokens, or WLD, valued at $0.32 each in its disclosure. That places the token position at roughly $96.6 million. Eightco also reported a $90 million indirect position in OpenAI equity through special purpose vehicles, or SPVs, and about $142 million in cash and stablecoins.
Taken together, the figures place roughly half of Eightco’s reported holdings in WLD and OpenAI exposure. Its strategy gives shareholders indirect exposure to two distinct parts of the artificial-intelligence market: the computing and consumer-AI businesses surrounding OpenAI, and World’s effort to build a digital identity network designed to distinguish people from automated agents.
Worldcoin is Eightco’s largest disclosed digital-asset position
Eightco said its nearly 302 million WLD tokens represented about 8.4% of the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply, describing the position as the largest publicly disclosed institutional WLD holding worldwide.
At the disclosed $0.32 valuation, WLD accounts for about 25% of the company’s treasury, according to Eightco’s internal breakdown. The figure makes the token a larger allocation than the company’s stated 24% exposure to OpenAI equity.
The company also reported holdings of 16,278 Ethereum, though it did not attach a dollar value to those tokens in the information provided. It listed a $1 million investment in Mythical Games alongside the larger WLD, Ethereum and private-company positions.
Worldcoin is the token associated with World, the network developed by Tools for Humanity and stewarded by the World Foundation. World’s system uses Orb devices to issue World ID credentials, intended to prove that an individual is a unique human without requiring the person to publicly disclose their identity.
Eightco’s investment case rests heavily on the possibility that verifying a human user could become commercially valuable as AI-generated content and automated software agents become more common online. The company said World’s model allows applications to pay per-verification fees while verification remains free for end users. It added that credential issuers and the World protocol would both monetize verified-human authentication.
Tools for Humanity has estimated a combined $6.35 trillion addressable revenue opportunity across 13 industries, according to Eightco. That estimate covers sectors including banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media and agentic AI, though it represents a company-cited market opportunity rather than projected revenue for World or Eightco.
Eightco also said it participated in the World Foundation’s $52.5 million funding round. The company described Pantera as the lead participant, with Bain Capital Crypto, Selini Capital, Susquehanna Crypto and other firms included in the round. Eightco did not specify when it joined the financing.
OpenAI exposure is held through SPVs
The OpenAI holding is indirect, meaning Eightco does not hold the private company’s shares directly. Instead, it owns interests through SPVs, structures commonly used to pool capital and provide access to private-company equity.
That distinction could affect liquidity and valuation. Private-company interests held through SPVs generally cannot be traded as freely as publicly listed shares, and their reported value can depend on the underlying company’s financing activity, secondary-market transactions, fund terms and other assumptions.
OpenAI recently said it had confidentially submitted an S-1 registration statement, a step that can precede an initial public offering. Confidential filings allow companies to begin the registration process before publicly releasing detailed prospectus materials. Eightco’s disclosure did not provide terms for its SPV interests or indicate how a future OpenAI listing, if one occurs, would translate into liquidity for its own position.
Eightco cited OpenAI’s statements that its models reach more than one billion active users and more than two million businesses. It also referenced Sensor Tower’s ranking of ChatGPT as the world’s top consumer AI application. According to the company’s cited OpenAI data, users send around 50% more messages per day six months after signing up and use ChatGPT for about twice as many categories of work.
Those figures help explain why OpenAI is a substantial treasury allocation for Eightco, but they do not establish a current public-market valuation for the company’s indirect stake. The eventual value available to Eightco would depend on the terms of its SPVs and developments at OpenAI itself.
Beast Industries adds creator-economy exposure
Eightco reported an $18 million funded investment in Beast Industries, which it said equals about 5% of treasury assets. Beast Industries is associated with creator Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, whom Eightco described as YouTube’s most-watched person globally.
The company cited a combined audience of more than 500 million followers across platforms associated with Beast Industries. Its allocation places a creator-led business alongside AI and blockchain-based identity as a third major theme within the treasury.
The company’s reported portfolio composition leaves a substantial reserve outside those concentrated thematic positions. Cash and stablecoins totaling approximately $142 million represent nearly 38% of the $378 million reported holdings. That reserve could reduce the immediate need to sell digital assets or private-company interests to meet operating needs, although its adequacy would depend on Eightco’s expenses, liabilities and capital commitments.
Concentration brings valuation and volatility risks
The structure also exposes Eightco to different forms of valuation risk at once. WLD can move sharply in public markets, Ethereum is subject to cryptocurrency-market volatility, and the company’s OpenAI and Beast Industries interests depend on private-market pricing and the terms attached to indirect ownership.
Eightco acknowledged risks related to digital-asset price movements, regulation, private-company stakes, listing compliance and other factors in its forward-looking statements.
The WLD holding is especially large relative to the token’s circulating supply. A position equal to about 8.4% of circulating WLD could make changes in the token’s market price particularly consequential for Eightco’s reported asset value. It may also draw attention to how the company manages custody, liquidity and any future decision to buy or sell tokens.
Eightco’s Aug. 5 disclosure presents a treasury built less around a single cryptocurrency thesis than around the overlap between AI, digital identity and internet-native consumer businesses. Its reported $142 million cash and stablecoin balance offers a counterweight to those bets, while the scale of its WLD and indirect OpenAI exposure means market movements in either area could have an outsized effect on the company’s balance sheet.
