Key Terms

special purpose vehicles, stablecoins, proof of human, circulating supply

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.

stablecoins financial

"approximately $142 million in total cash and stablecoins, for total holdings"

Stablecoins are a type of digital currency designed to maintain a steady value, often linked to traditional currencies like the dollar or euro. They function like digital cash that offers the convenience of online transactions while avoiding the large price swings common with other cryptocurrencies. This stability makes them useful for investors and users who want a reliable way to store and transfer value without exposure to sudden market changes.

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.

circulating supply financial

"over 283 million WLD, approximately 8.4% of circulating supply, the largest"

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., June 4, 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.

Top AI 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:

• On June 1, Anthropic, recently valued at nearly $1 trillion, confidentially filed for a U.S. IPO, setting up what could become one of the most significant technology offerings in history (Reuters).
  
  
• The Anthropic news comes out amidst news that OpenAI is preparing to file to go public in the coming weeks (The New York Times).
  
  
• On June 1, Alphabet, parent company of Google, announced plans to raise up to $80 billion to fund AI-related investments and computing infrastructure to meet unprecedented demand (CNBC).

"The market is witnessing one of the largest technology investment cycles in history as AI reshapes industries, business models, and the global economy," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Board Member of Eightco. "Anthropic's filing highlights the expectation of enormous investor appetite for AI companies. With OpenAI's filing reported to be upcoming, we believe OpenAI sits at the center of this transformation, and ORBS' exposure to the company provides shareholders with participation in what we view as one of the most significant value creation opportunities of the coming decade."

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 (21% of ORBS' treasury holdings), Worldcoin (36%), 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 21% 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 8.4% of circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally and approximately 36% 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.

(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.
