OpenAI Files for IPO, Eightco Offers Pre-IPO Exposure
On June 8, OpenAI announced it had confidentially submitted an S-1 registration statement to the SEC, setting the stage for an initial public offering. Eightco board member Thomas "Tom" Lee, Managing Partner and Head of Research at Fundstrat, stated: "A future OpenAI IPO will allow public investors to own a direct stake in one of the most important companies driving the AI transformation. ORBS, through its current holdings of indirect interests in the equity of OpenAI, enables investors exposure to OpenAI prior to any public offering." Eightco's $90 million indirect stake represents approximately 22% of its treasury and is one of the highest disclosed concentrations among listed vehicles.
OpenAI's ChatGPT surpassed 900 million weekly active users in February 2026 (per Sensor Tower), making it the fastest-scaling consumer app in history, according to UBS via Reuters.
Worldcoin Position: 8.4% of Circulating Supply, Largest Public Institutional Holder
Eightco's 283 million WLD equals about 8.4% of the token's circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally. The WLD holding accounts for 32% of the company's treasury assets. World's Proof of Human network, built by Tools for Humanity (co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania), uses Orb devices to issue privacy-preserving World IDs that verify a user is a unique human — not an AI agent.
Under World's business model, applications pay per-verification fees while end-users remain free. Tools for Humanity estimates a combined addressable revenue opportunity of $6.35 trillion across 13 industries, including banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media, and autonomous AI agents.
Beast Industries and the Creator Economy Bet
Eightco has invested $18 million in Beast Industries (4% of treasury), the company behind MrBeast, the most-watched person on YouTube globally with over 500 million followers across platforms. As AI commoditizes content creation, distribution and audience trust become scarce assets.
Recent reports highlighted that hackers can use AI to extract fingerprints from peace-sign selfies, underscoring the growing importance of biometric verification tools like World's Orb.
Eightco positions itself around three mega-trends: artificial intelligence (OpenAI, 22% of treasury), digital identity (WLD, 32%), and creator economy (Beast Industries, 4%). CEO Kevin O'Donnell leads the company, with a board including Tom Lee and advisor Brett Winton (Chief Futurist at ARK Invest). Institutional backers include Bitmine Immersion (BMNR), MOZAYYX, World Foundation, CoinFund, Discovery Capital Management, FalconX, Kraken, Pantera, and GSR.
