Eightco Holdings Discloses $340 Million Portfolio Including 11,000 ETH and 283 Million Worldcoin Tokens

Eightco Holdings (ORBS), the Nasdaq-listed company chaired by Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, disclosed a total portfolio of approximately $340 million on May 15, covering 11,068 Ethereum and more than 283 million Worldcoin (WLD) tokens. The holdings also include private equity positions in OpenAI and Beast Industries, plus $129 million in cash and stablecoins.

The disclosure marks one of the largest combined crypto and private AI asset portfolios reported by a Nasdaq-listed company this year.

What Eightco Holds

Eightco’s portfolio breaks down into four distinct buckets. The company holds 11,068 (ETH), purchased and custodied through Coinbase (COIN).

It holds more than 283 million WLD tokens, the native asset of the Worldcoin identity and financial network. Private equity positions in OpenAI and Beast Industries round out the non-liquid portion.

The remaining $129 million sits in cash and stablecoins, giving the company significant liquidity alongside illiquid stakes. The PR release did not specify per-asset valuations individually.

The Board and Bitmine Connection

Eightco’s board includes Lee as a key figure.

Lee also serves as president of Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), a separate Nasdaq-listed firm that has pursued aggressive Ethereum accumulation in 2026. Bitmine separately announced the purchase of 89,026 ETH for $197.64 million from Kraken and FalconX in the same scan window.

The overlap in board membership and strategy between Eightco and Bitmine draws a direct line between Lee’s two public vehicles and their shared focus on Ethereum as a treasury asset.

Background

Corporate treasuries buying cryptocurrency as reserve assets trace directly to MicroStrategy (MSTR), which began accumulating Bitcoin (BTC) in August 2020 and currently holds more than 214,000 BTC. That model has since diffused across smaller public companies.

Eightco’s disclosure extends the playbook from Bitcoin (BTC) to Ethereum, Worldcoin, and private AI equity, reflecting a broader trend of public companies using listed equity as a vehicle to gain exposure to unlisted AI and crypto assets. A stablecoin, in this context, is a cryptocurrency pegged to a fixed value, typically the U.S. dollar, used to preserve purchasing power without exiting the digital asset ecosystem entirely.

What Comes Next

The disclosure does not carry a regulatory filing obligation on its own, but it raises several questions for investors.

Worldcoin’s WLD token has been under regulatory scrutiny in multiple jurisdictions over its biometric identity verification model. A large WLD position makes Eightco’s portfolio sensitive to any adverse regulatory action targeting the Worldcoin Foundation.

The company has not said whether it plans to increase or reduce any of its holdings. Shareholders will watch for updated filings ahead of any quarterly earnings cycle.
