EASTON, Pa., July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("Eightco" or the "Company") today provided an update on its total holdings, highlighting its position across digital assets and strategic investments in leading private technology companies.
As of July 15, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. ET, ORBS' holdings include a $90 million investment (indirectly, through SPVs) in OpenAI, an $18 million funded 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 total cash and stablecoins, for total holdings of approximately $406 million.
Top Headlines Driving the News:
ORBS management believes the Company's treasury portfolio holds some of the most critical components for the future AI and digital financial system. This week's top headlines include:
- This week, it was reported that OpenAI is developing a product meant to serve as a humanlike AI companion that lives in the home. This product will help control smart-home appliances, play media, answer questions, and respond to messages. This development will place OpenAI in the hardware space, competing with Apple, Google and more (Bloomberg).
- On July 9, OpenAI released GPT-5.6 Sol which emphasizes better token efficiency (54% more efficient on agentic coding), stronger capabilities in coding, science, biology, cybersecurity, multimodal support and new features like GPT-Live. It follows a staggered/limited rollout after a U.S. government request over national security concerns. Sol includes an "ultra" mode for harder tasks and advanced safety features (OpenAI).
- On July 24, 2026 World's token issuance schedule will reach a significant milestone. As outlined in the original World whitepaper, the network's largest three-year token unlock period is expected to conclude, reducing the number of WLD entering circulation each day by approximately 43%, from about 5.1 million tokens to about 2.9 million. ORBS currently holds 283,452,700 WLD, representing approximately 8% of the circulating supply and the largest publicly disclosed WLD position in the world. While ORBS' holdings will remain unchanged on July 24, the pace of new token issuance is expected to slow significantly. WLD will continue to enter circulation, but at roughly half the previous daily rate, materially slowing the growth of overall supply (World).
"OpenAI continues to incrementally improve ChatGPT's capabilities and these add up to meaningful improvements year to date. The improvement in token efficiency is welcomed by many users," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Board Member of Eightco. "We believe ORBS is uniquely positioned for the future. As AI becomes more personal and autonomous, we expect proof of human will become one of the most valuable assets in the digital economy."
Eightco: Exposure to key mega-trends
Eightco is built around three mega-trends the Company expects to shape the next decade of innovation: artificial intelligence, digital identity, and the creator economy, with positions in each trend through indirect investment in OpenAI (22% of ORBS' treasury holdings), Worldcoin (29%), and Beast Industries (4%).
Artificial Intelligence — OpenAI
Eightco has invested approximately $90 million in special purpose vehicles with exposure to equity interests in the parent company of OpenAI, representing approximately 22% of treasury assets, one of the highest disclosed concentrations of any listed vehicle.
ChatGPT, OpenAI's consumer app, is the #1 consumer AI app worldwide (Sensor Tower) and crossed 900 million weekly active users in February 2026, making it the fastest-scaling consumer technology in history (UBS via Reuters).
Digital Identity — WLD Token
Eightco holds over 283 million WLD, approximately 8% of circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally and approximately 29% of the Eightco treasury's assets.
Worldcoin is the native token of World, a global Proof of Human network built by Tools for Humanity (co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania) and stewarded by the World Foundation. Its Orb devices issue a privacy-preserving World ID that verifies a user is a unique human, not an AI agent.
Under World's announced business model, applications pay per-verification fees while end-user verification remains free, with both credential issuers and the World protocol monetizing verified-human authentication. World identifies a $6.35 trillion combined addressable revenue opportunity across 13 industries spanning banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media, and agentic AI (per Tools for Humanity).
Creator Economy — Beast Industries
Eightco has invested $18 million in Beast Industries equity, approximately 4% of treasury assets.
Beast Industries operates one of the largest direct-to-consumer reach footprints in the world, with a combined 500 million-plus follower base across platforms, anchored by MrBeast as the most-watched person on YouTube globally. As AI commoditizes content production, distribution and audience trust become increasingly scarce assets.
