Eightco Holdings expands its Worldcoin-focused treasury plan with a $250 million private placement and $20 million from BitMine, as WLD surges amid renewed investor momentum.
Eightco Holdings confirmed a $250 million private placement and a $20 million strategic investment from BitMine to back its Worldcoin (WLD) treasury strategy. Following the announcement, WLD surged 70% in 24 hours to $2, with trading volume up 257%. The firm will add WLD to its treasury strategy and pursue ticker rebranding. Worldcoin, co-founded by Sam Altman, leverages biometric iris scans for its World ID system, now central to its push for AI-driven identity verification. The move reflects growing corporate treasury adoption of crypto, modeled on strategies like MicroStrategy’s, and reinforces WLD’s technical breakout above $1.60 and its 200-day EMA, suggesting potential near-term upside.
