Eightco Holdings Discloses $333 Million in Assets Including OpenAI Stake and 11,000 ETH
Eightco Holdings (ORBS), a NASDAQ-listed company, disclosed roughly $333 million in total assets on May 7, including a stake in OpenAI, a position in Beast Industries, more than 11,000 Ethereum (ETH), and more than 283 million Worldcoin (WLD) tokens. The announcement, distributed through PR Newswire, positions Eightco as one of the more unusual publicly traded cryptocurrency treasury vehicles, combining AI equity exposure with on-chain token holdings.
What the Disclosure Contains
The company’s PR wire release itemized the portfolio across several asset categories.
The OpenAI and Beast Industries positions represent private equity exposure. The 11,000-plus ETH holding sits alongside a far larger position in WLD tokens, the cryptocurrency associated with the Worldcoin biometric identity project.
No per-unit valuations for individual holdings were broken out in the wire copy reviewed.
The board includes Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, who also chairs Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR). Bitmine is listed as a supporting institutional investor alongside MOZAYYX and World Liberty Financial.
Lee’s dual role across Bitmine and Eightco links the two companies’ treasury strategies, both of which carry significant digital asset exposure.

Background
Eightco Holdings trades on NASDAQ under the ticker ORBS. The company operates across consumer products and e-commerce verticals, but the May 7 disclosure reflects a significant shift toward holding cryptocurrency and private AI equity as core balance-sheet assets.
The strategy mirrors approaches taken by other listed companies that have repositioned around digital assets as treasury anchors.
Bitmine, which shares board representation through Tom Lee, has pursued an aggressive ETH accumulation strategy. A CoinDesk report published May 7 said Bitmine is approaching its 5% ETH supply accumulation goal and may slow purchases within weeks.
The connection between the two companies suggests a coordinated exposure across listed vehicles.

What to Watch
The WLD token holding is notable for its scale. More than 283 million WLD tokens at current market prices represents a concentrated bet on the Worldcoin project, which uses iris-scanning hardware to verify human identity on-chain.
Regulatory and adoption risk for that project remains high.
Eightco has not disclosed a target portfolio composition or a timeline for further acquisitions. Investors will watch whether the company monetizes any of the private equity stakes, particularly the OpenAI position, as that company moves toward a potential public offering.
