Eightco Holdings Discloses $333 Million Crypto Treasury
Eightco Holdings (ORBS), listed on Nasdaq, disclosed total assets of approximately $333 million on May 8, in a treasury announcement that spans cryptocurrency, private equity, and cash. The holdings include 11,068 Ethereum (ETH) tokens, approximately 283 million Worldcoin (WLD) tokens, a direct equity stake in OpenAI, a position in Beast Industries, and roughly $121 million in cash and stablecoins.
The disclosure positions Eightco among a small group of Nasdaq-listed companies that hold cryptocurrency as a primary balance sheet asset.
What the Treasury Contains
The PR Newswire release shows Worldcoin as the dominant cryptocurrency position by token count. Worldcoin, the biometric identity and universal basic income protocol co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, trades under the ticker WLD.
Eightco holds approximately 283 million WLD tokens. At WLD’s May 8 price of around $1.10, that position alone represents roughly $311 million in notional value, though the actual realizable value depends heavily on market liquidity and any lock-up conditions.
The Ethereum (ETH) holdings total 11,068 ETH, worth approximately $22 million at current prices.
The cash and stablecoin reserves add $121 million, providing liquid cover for operating costs and potential acquisitions.

Background
Eightco Holdings rebranded and pivoted toward digital assets and venture-stage technology companies over the past two years. The company’s Nasdaq ticker ORBS predates its cryptocurrency strategy pivot.
Corporate treasury accumulation of cryptocurrency accelerated broadly in 2024 and 2025, led by MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin (BTC) strategy. Eightco’s disclosure reflects a second wave of that trend, applied to a more diverse set of assets including private AI company equity.
The OpenAI stake, if held at a significant size, could be among the most valuable single positions in the treasury given OpenAI’s most recent private valuation of $300 billion.

What Comes Next
Eightco has not provided a detailed breakdown of its OpenAI stake size, WLD lock-up conditions, or plans for the ETH position. The company’s next regulatory filing will likely provide more granular disclosures.
The WLD concentration poses significant single-asset risk. Any material decline in WLD’s price or any adverse regulatory ruling on Worldcoin’s biometric data collection model, which is under investigation in multiple jurisdictions, would substantially reduce the reported treasury value.
