Eightco provides indirect exposure to some of the most innovative private companies including OpenAI and Beast Industries

EASTON, Pa., May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“Eightco” or the “Company”) today provided an update on its total holdings, highlighting its leading position across digital assets and strategic investments in leading private technology companies.

As of May 27, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET, ORBS’ holdings include a $90 million investment (indirectly, through SPVs) in OpenAI, an $18 million funded investment in Beast Industries, a $1 million investment in Mythical Games, 283,452,700 Worldcoin (WLD) at $0.35 per WLD (per Coinbase), 11,068 Ethereum (ETH), and approximately $144 million in total cash and stablecoins, for total holdings of approximately $374 million.

Key takeaways from ORBS treasury assets in the past week

ORBS management believes the Company’s treasury portfolio holds some of the most critical components for the future AI and digital financial system. Among the holdings, key highlights in recent weeks are:

  • On May 20, OpenAI announced one of its internal general-purpose reasoning models autonomously disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry that Paul Erdős posed in 1946. Solving a 80 year-old mathematical problem is already impressive, but what surprised math researchers is the method of proof. OpenAI’s model solved this using algebraic number theory rather than pursuing known vectors of proof .
  • On May 24, the live taping of Beast Games World Champions Season 3 took place at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville, NC. Jimmy Donaldson grew up in the Greenville area, so this is a homecoming event of sorts. The Beast Games is Amazon Prime Video’s most watched unscripted series .
  • On May 15, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Personal Finance for Pro users in the U.S., which OpenAI describes as allowing users to securely link bank, brokerage, and credit accounts across 12,000+ institutions, and further strengthening OpenAI’s relationship with its users .
  • On May 12, Beast Industries, led by Jimmy Donaldson (aka MrBeast), made its first ever public presentation to advertisers. Beast unveiled a two-sided creator marketplace and introduced Vyro, its own creator distribution engine. Management guided full-year 2026 revenue to $1.6 billion, up from $899 million in 2025 . “We are no longer just a YouTube channel. We’re building a next-generation media platform in the age of AI — using tech, data and global IP to bring brands and fans together at unprecedented scale,” CEO of Beast Industries, Jeff Housenbold, said during the presentation.
  • On May 20, several media sources reported that OpenAI is allegedly preparing to file an IPO in coming weeks . The OpenAI IPO would be viewed as one of the most anticipated IPOs in 2026.

“The ability of OpenAI’s model to solve an 80 year-old math puzzle without any human guidance demonstrates outstanding reasoning abilities,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee, Board Member of Eightco. “We believe this strengthens our investment thesis for making OpenAI around 24% of the balance sheet of ORBS.”

  • Data compiled by Fundstrat shows that “non-humans” now account for the following estimated shares of volume on various platforms:
  • 75% of Polymarket trading volume
  • 53% of web traffic
  • 47% of emails sent
  • 44% of US equity buy-side execution
  • 35% of new website creation
  • 30% of online product reviews

Eightco: Exposure to key mega-trends

Eightco is built around three mega-trends the Company expects to shape the next decade of innovation: artificial intelligence, digital identity, and the creator economy, with positions in each trend through indirect investment in OpenAI (24% of ORBS’ treasury holdings), Worldcoin (26%), and Beast Industries (5%).

Artificial Intelligence — OpenAI

Eightco has invested approximately $90 million in special purpose vehicles with exposure to equity interests in the parent company of OpenAI, representing approximately 24% of treasury assets, one of the highest disclosed concentrations of any listed vehicle.

ChatGPT, OpenAI’s consumer app, is the #1 consumer AI app worldwide and crossed 900 million weekly active users in February 2026, making it the fastest-scaling consumer technology in history .

Digital Identity — WLD Token

Eightco holds over 283 million WLD, approximately 8.3% of circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally and approximately 26% of the Eightco treasury’s assets.

Worldcoin is the native token of World, a global Proof of Human network built by Tools for Humanity (co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania) and stewarded by the World Foundation. Its Orb devices issue a privacy-preserving World ID that verifies a user is a unique human, not an AI agent.

Under World’s announced business model, applications pay per-verification fees while end-user verification remains free, with both credential issuers and the World protocol monetizing verified-human authentication. World identifies a $6.35 trillion combined addressable revenue opportunity across 13 industries spanning banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media, and agentic AI (per Tools for Humanity).

Creator Economy — Beast Industries

Eightco has invested $18 million in Beast Industries equity, approximately 5% of treasury assets.

Beast Industries operates one of the largest direct-to-consumer reach footprints in the world, with a combined 500 million-plus follower base across platforms, anchored by MrBeast as the most-watched person on YouTube globally. As AI commoditizes content production, distribution and audience trust become increasingly scarce assets.

About Eightco Holdings Inc.

Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) is a publicly traded company executing a first-of-its-kind Worldcoin (WLD) treasury strategy, providing investors single-ticker indirect exposure to three of the defining trends of this cycle: artificial intelligence through its indirect investment in OpenAI, digital identity through its position as the largest public holder of WLD and the Proof of Human protocol, and the creator economy through its equity stake in MrBeast’s Beast Industries. Backed by leading institutional investors including Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE: BMNR), MOZAYYX, World Foundation, CoinFund, Discovery Capital Management, FalconX, Payward/Kraken, Pantera, and GSR, Eightco is building the infrastructure layer for human verification in the agentic AI era.

Goldman Sachs: US stocks are showing a "strong index, weak confidence" pattern; catch-up rally may become the main theme of the next phase
