Eightco Holdings Reveals $389 Million Treasury Strategy

As of August 19, 2026, the company's holdings include $90 million in indirect OpenAI equity, $18 million in Beast Industries, and roughly $132 million in cash and stablecoins. Perhaps most notably, Eightco holds nearly 302 million Worldcoin (WLD) tokens, representing the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally. This stake accounts for approximately 29% of the firm's total treasury assets, underscoring a strategic pivot toward the 'Proof of Human' network.

Kevin O'Donnell, Chairman and CEO of Eightco, framed the recent repurchase of 14 million shares as a reflection of management's belief that the company’s stock remains undervalued relative to its underlying assets. By securing indirect exposure to OpenAI and the creator-led economy of Beast Industries, Eightco is positioning itself as a proxy for three specific technological shifts: AI development, digital identity verification, and the commoditization of creator trust.
