Key Terms

special purpose vehicles, worldcoin, ethereum, proof of human, +1 more

5 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.

worldcoin financial

"Worldcoin token (WLD) now listed on Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD), expanding access"

A digital project combining a cryptocurrency token with a global digital identity system that uses biometric data (often an iris scan) to verify unique users; think of it as a digital membership card plus a new form of money. Investors care because its value depends on how many people adopt and use the token, how regulators treat biometric data and cryptocurrencies, and the project’s rules for token supply and distribution—factors that affect market demand, legal risk, and long-term viability.

ethereum financial

"283,452,700 Worldcoin (WLD) at $0.39 per WLD (per Coinbase), 16,278 Ethereum (ETH)"

Ethereum is a digital money system and computing platform built on a shared online ledger called a blockchain; its native token, ether (ETH), is used to pay for transactions and run automated contracts. Investors care because ether acts like a tradeable asset whose price can move sharply, and the platform’s usage, upgrades, and rules affect supply, demand and potential returns—think of it as both a new kind of commodity and the fuel for a global app store.

proof of human technical

"visitors can learn about the benefits of private proof of human and verify their"

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.

circulating supply financial

"Eightco holds over 283 million WLD, approximately 8.1% of circulating supply, the"

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.

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

EASTON, Pa., July 9, 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 8, 2026, at 6:00 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 $0.39 per WLD (per Coinbase), 16,278 Ethereum (ETH), and approximately $149 million in total cash and stablecoins, for total holdings of approximately $397 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:

• OpenAI announced it will publicly release its GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna models on July 9, 2026. According to OpenAI, GPT-5.6 Sol is its "strongest model yet" and is more capable across coding, biology and cybersecurity (CNBC).
  
  
• On July 8, it was announced that the OpenAI Deployment Company agreed to acquire Northslope, an applied AI firm. The deal expands the Deployment Company's team to hundreds of "forward deployed engineers" (FDEs) who work alongside customers to build AI systems within their organizations. This highlights how the AI race may be defined by who can get businesses to use their AI tools rather than model releases (Axios).
  
  
• On July 7, ABC announced MrBeast will appear as a guest Shark on Shark Tank Season 18 this fall. The appearance marks the world's most-subscribed creator's debut as an investor on the program (ABC).
  
  
• On July 6, World opened its flagship London store, where visitors can learn about the benefits of private proof of human and verify their humanness via an Orb (World).
  
  
• Later this month, on July 24, 2026, the amount of WLD entering the market each day will automatically drop by 43%, from about 5.1 million to about 2.9 million tokens per day, as the token's heaviest three-year release period ends (World Foundation). This schedule was established in the World whitepaper at the token's inception. The Company holds 283,452,700 WLD, about 8.1% of all WLD on the market today and the largest publicly disclosed position in the world. That position does not change on July 24, what changes is the supply of WLD will continue to increase, but the rate of supply increases following July 24 will be at roughly half the previous pace.

"Seemingly every week, the capabilities and innovations from AI continue to astound markets," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Board Member of Eightco. "OpenAI's upcoming release of GPT-5.6 and its acquisition of Northslope demonstrate that the next phase of AI is not only about building more capable models, but also driving enterprise adoption at scale."

"Regarding World, we view their expansion into London as reflective of the growing importance of trusted digital identity as AI becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life. We believe ORBS is uniquely positioned through its exposure to both OpenAI and World, two platforms that are helping define the future of artificial intelligence and the infrastructure required to support it." continued Lee.

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 (23% of ORBS' treasury holdings), Worldcoin (28%), and Beast Industries (5%).

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 23% 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 8.1% of circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally and approximately 28% 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 5% 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.

About Eightco Holdings Inc.

(NASDAQ: ORBS) is a publicly traded company executing a first-of-its-kind Worldcoin (WLD) treasury strategy, providing investors single-ticker indirect exposure to three of the defining trends of this cycle: artificial intelligence through its indirect investment in OpenAI, digital identity through its position as the largest public holder of WLD and the Proof of Human protocol, and the creator economy through its equity stake in MrBeast's Beast Industries.
