Eightco reports $406 million holdings in Ethereum

Eightco Holdings Inc. said its total holdings reached about $406 million as of June 10, 2026, led by exposure to artificial intelligence, digital identity, and the creator economy. The portfolio includes indirect stakes in OpenAI and Beast Industries, alongside 16,278 Ethereum (ETH), 283 million Worldcoin (WLD) tokens, and roughly $142 million in cash and equivalents.

Portfolio centers on AI, blockchain identity, and media

The company disclosed $90 million in OpenAI-related equity held through special purpose vehicles, $18 million in Beast Industries shares, and $1 million in Mythical Games. Worldcoin represents the largest allocation, accounting for 32% of the treasury, followed by 22% in OpenAI and 4% in Beast Industries. Eightco said it holds about 8.4% of Worldcoin’s circulating supply, the largest disclosed institutional position in the token.

Eightco trades on Nasdaq under the ticker ORBS and positions itself as a single-stock gateway to multiple high-growth sectors spanning AI, blockchain-based identity, and digital media.

OpenAI IPO timelines draw market focus

OpenAI’s confidential S-1 filing with U.S. regulators has sharpened expectations for a potential public listing before the end of 2026. That scenario would directly affect the value of Eightco’s $90 million exposure. Prediction markets currently assign roughly a 43.5% probability to a listing by December 31, 2026.

The company behind ChatGPT reportedly reached 900 million weekly active users in February 2026, making it the fastest-growing consumer technology platform on record, according to external data.

Worldcoin drives volatility and trading activity

A significant share of Eightco’s treasury is tied to Worldcoin, whose price movements have tracked the broader AI narrative. On June 10, WLD rose 12% to $0.54, with trading volume jumping 13% to $1.83 billion, signaling renewed activity among traders.

The token has shown strong momentum, climbing nearly 88% over the past month as of June 9. However, sentiment remains mixed after BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes disclosed he had sold his position.

Worldcoin, developed by Tools for Humanity, uses biometric Orb devices to verify human identity and operates on a model where applications pay per verification. The project estimates a $6.35 trillion addressable market across industries such as banking, e-commerce, and social platforms.

Creator economy adds smaller but growing exposure

Eightco’s stake in Beast Industries represents a smaller portion of its holdings but ties the company to a rapidly expanding segment of the digital economy. The business, linked to MrBeast, has a global audience exceeding 500 million and focuses on direct-to-consumer ventures.

Beast Industries was valued at $5 billion in January 2026 and is projected to generate between $600 million and $700 million in revenue this year.

Stock reflects underlying asset swings

The ORBS stock has mirrored the volatility of its underlying assets, with data indicating average weekly price moves of around 18%. This reflects the combined impact of private equity exposure and actively traded digital assets.

Leadership connections also link Eightco to the broader crypto market. Board member Lee chairs Bitmine Immersion Technologies, which recently disclosed holdings of 5.54 million Ethereum, equivalent to about 4.59% of total supply.
