Eightco Holdings Discloses $337 Million Crypto Portfolio Led by Worldcoin and Ethereum
Eightco Holdings (ORBS) disclosed a total cryptocurrency portfolio of approximately $337 million on May 21, anchored by more than 283 million Worldcoin (WLD) tokens and over 11,000 Ethereum (ETH). The portfolio also includes a stake in OpenAI and a position in Beast Industries.
The disclosure positions Eightco among the small group of NASDAQ-listed companies building crypto-native treasury strategies at institutional scale.
What the Portfolio Contains
A PR Newswire release published May 21 lists four primary holdings. The largest by token count is 283 million WLD tokens.
The ETH position of more than 11,000 coins represents a substantial on-chain stake. The OpenAI and Beast Industries positions add non-tokenized exposure to AI infrastructure.
The company said total holdings reach approximately $337 million across all assets combined.
Worldcoin is a digital identity and cryptocurrency project that issues WLD tokens to users who verify their identity through biometric iris scans. It was co-founded by OpenAI’s Sam Altman.
The size of Eightco’s WLD position, at more than 283 million tokens, makes it one of the largest disclosed corporate holders of the asset.
Institutional Board Ties
The company’s board includes Fundstrat Managing Partner and Head of Research Tom Lee, who also serves as chairman of Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR). Lee’s dual role links Eightco’s accumulation strategy to the broader wave of publicly listed companies building crypto treasury positions.
Bitmine has itself disclosed significant Hyperliquid (HYPE) holdings tracked by The Block’s public-company treasury data.
Background
Corporate cryptocurrency treasury disclosures have grown sharply since MicroStrategy (MSTR) began accumulating Bitcoin (BTC) in August 2020. By 2025 and into 2026, smaller NASDAQ-listed companies adopted variants of the same playbook, concentrating holdings in assets with AI or identity narratives rather than Bitcoin alone.
Eightco’s WLD-heavy position reflects that shift. The company trades under the ticker ORBS on the NASDAQ.

What Comes Next
The key question for investors is liquidity.
A position of 283 million WLD tokens represents a substantial fraction of circulating supply, and any attempt to unwind or rebalance would move the market. Eightco has not said whether the holdings are locked, subject to vesting schedules, or freely tradable.
The OpenAI and Beast Industries stakes add private-market illiquidity. Holders will watch for a more granular breakdown of lock-up terms in future filings.
