Key Terms

special purpose vehicles, worldcoin, proof of human, circulating supply, +1 more

5 terms

special purpose vehicles financial

"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"

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.

proof of human technical

"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.

circulating supply financial

"over 283 million WLD, approximately 8.1% 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.

s-1 regulatory

"OpenAI recently announced that it submitted a confidential S-1"

A Form S-1 is a detailed registration document filed with U.S. regulators when a company intends to sell shares to the public for the first time or raise new equity. It acts like a company’s full disclosure booklet — describing business operations, risks, finances and how the proceeds will be used — and matters to investors because it provides the primary, official information needed to judge the company’s prospects and risks before buying stock.

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

EASTON, Pa., July 2, 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 1, 2026, at 4:00 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 $0.36 per WLD (per Coinbase), 16,278 Ethereum (ETH), and approximately $149 million in total cash and stablecoins, for total holdings of approximately $386 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:

• On June 30, it was announced that the U.S. lifted its ban on Anthropic's powerful Fable 5 AI model. The temporary ban on Anthropic's most advanced models signals a shift from a hands-off regulatory approach as AI systems become powerful enough to warrant greater government oversight (CNBC).
• On July 1, it was announced that Meta plans to build a cloud business to sell AI computing power, with a potential plan to sell access to various AI models that are hosted on Meta's existing AI infrastructure (Bloomberg).
• According to a survey of U.S. adults, an estimated 15 million people in the U.S. were scammed out of money, with 12% of successful scams involving AI or deepfakes (NBC).

"The AI revolution is moving beyond breakthrough models to a larger global ecosystem of infrastructure, compute, applications, and capital formation," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Board Member of Eightco. "As AI capabilities expand and as AI industry attracts more capital, critical decisions are being made by human leaders, such as the team at OpenAI. This reflects the central role of human decisions play in our future and the importance of 'proof of human' to distinguish between signal and noise from machines versus those from humans."

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 (27%), 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 27% 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.
