Summary

Eightco Holdings Inc. said its treasury holdings totaled approximately $397 million as of July 8, 2026, including a $90 million indirect investment in OpenAI through special purpose vehicles, an $18 million funded investment in Beast Industries, a $1 million investment in Mythical Games, 283,452,700 Worldcoin tokens valued at $0.39 each per Coinbase, 16,278 ETH, and about $149 million in cash and stablecoins. The company also said Worldcoin is now listed on Robinhood, widening access to the token, and noted that OpenAI recently submitted a confidential S-1, a filing used to prepare for a potential initial public offering. The company framed its portfolio around artificial intelligence, digital identity and the creator economy. It said OpenAI represented about 23% of treasury assets, WLD about 28%, and Beast Industries about 5%. Eightco described its WLD position as about 8.1% of circulating supply and the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally. Eightco highlighted several developments it said support those themes: OpenAI's planned July 9, 2026 release of GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna models; the OpenAI Deployment Company's agreement to acquire Northslope on July 8; ABC's announcement on July 7 that MrBeast will appear as a guest Shark on Shark Tank Season 18; and World's July 6 opening of a flagship London store focused on private proof of human (verifying a unique human user). It also pointed to a scheduled reduction in daily WLD token issuance on July 24, 2026, when the amount entering the market each day is set to fall 43% to about 2.9 million from about 5.1 million as the token's heaviest three-year release period ends. Board Member Thomas "Tom" Lee said OpenAI's product release and Northslope deal show that the next phase of AI is not only about stronger models but also enterprise adoption, while World's London expansion reflects the growing importance of trusted digital identity as AI becomes more embedded in everyday life.
