Key Terms

special purpose vehicles, confidential s-1, circulating supply, proof of human

4 terms

special purpose vehicles financial

"Eightco has invested approximately $90 million in special purpose vehicles with exposure"

Special purpose vehicles are separate companies created to isolate financial risk or manage specific assets and projects. They act like dedicated containers that hold particular investments or loans, helping organizations keep certain activities separate from their main operations. For investors, understanding these entities is important because they can influence how risks and returns are structured within a larger financial system.

confidential s-1 regulatory

"OpenAI recently announced that it submitted a confidential S-1, setting itself up"

A confidential S‑1 is a private, draft version of the registration form a company files with U.S. securities regulators when preparing to sell stock to the public. Think of it as a work-in-progress that lets a company get regulatory feedback and fix problems away from public view; it matters to investors because it signals an imminent IPO while keeping details and timing flexible, so prospects can change before the filing becomes public.

circulating supply financial

"Eightco holds over 283 million WLD, approximately 8.3% of circulating supply"

The circulating supply is the number of a company's shares or a digital token that are actually available for the public to buy, sell, or trade right now, excluding units held back by the company, insiders, or locked for future use. Investors watch it because the amount available affects how easily prices move and how valuable each unit is — like how the price of cookies in a pantry changes if most are kept in a locked box versus spread out on a table.

proof of human technical

"World, a global Proof of Human network built by Tools for Humanity"

Proof of human is a verification that an online user or participant is a real person rather than an automated program, typically done through simple tests (for example confirming a phone number, solving a brief visual puzzle, or responding to an email). For investors, it matters because it helps prevent fraud, fake trading activity, and data manipulation, protects customer accounts and regulatory compliance, and keeps markets and online services trustworthy—like a doorman checking IDs before letting people into a secured event.

Eightco provides indirect exposure to some of the most innovative private companies including OpenAI and Beast Industries

EASTON, Pa., June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("Eightco" or the "Company") today provided an update on its total holdings, highlighting its growing position across digital assets and strategic investments in leading private technology companies.

As of June 17, 2026, at 7:30 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 $0.66 per WLD (per Coinbase), 16,278 Ethereum (ETH), and approximately $149 million in total cash and stablecoins, for total holdings of approximately $472 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. Among the holdings, key highlights in recent weeks are:

• Recently, SpaceX announced a $60 billion acquisition of Cursor to strengthen its AI software and coding capabilities through its AI division. Cursor is one of the fastest-growing AI coding platforms and has become a major enterprise AI product. This acquisition continues to reinforce investor appetite for AI infrastructure and productivity software (Reuters).
• This week, MrBeast broke another record by reaching 500 million subscribers on Youtube, becoming the first creator to achieve this milestone (TheWrap).

"AI companies going public is a positive development for the entire sector. As investors gain more exposure to AI leaders, interest often expands across the ecosystem, creating greater visibility and opportunity for companies like ORBS," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Board Member of Eightco.

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 (19% of ORBS' treasury holdings), Worldcoin (39%), 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 19% 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 8.3% of circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally and approximately 39% 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.
