$90M Indirect Stake in OpenAI, IPO Filing Underway

Eightco holds an indirect equity interest in OpenAI through special purpose vehicles valued at $90 million, representing 23% of its treasury assets. OpenAI recently submitted a confidential S-1 registration, setting the stage for an initial public offering. ChatGPT, OpenAI's consumer app, surpassed 900 million weekly active users in February 2026, making it the fastest-scaling consumer technology in history. Thomas "Tom" Lee, a board member of Eightco and Managing Partner at Fundstrat, commented that the AI revolution is moving beyond breakthrough models to a global ecosystem of infrastructure, compute, and capital formation, emphasizing the need for "proof of human" as AI capabilities expand.

283 Million WLD: Largest Public Institutional Holder

Eightco holds 283,452,700 Worldcoin (WLD) tokens, approximately 8.1% of the circulating supply — the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally. Valued at $0.36 per WLD (per Coinbase), the position accounts for about 27% of treasury assets, or roughly $102 million. World, the Proof of Human network built by Tools for Humanity (co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania), issues privacy-preserving World IDs via Orb devices to verify unique humans. World identifies a $6.35 trillion combined addressable revenue opportunity across 13 industries including banking, e-commerce, gaming, and agentic AI. WLD was recently listed on Robinhood, expanding access to millions of retail investors.

Beast Industries and Ethereum Holdings

Eightco invested $18 million in Beast Industries equity, representing 5% of treasury assets. Beast Industries, anchored by MrBeast (the most-watched person on YouTube), commands a combined follower base of over 500 million across platforms. The company also holds 16,278 ETH, a $1 million investment in Mythical Games, and approximately $149 million in cash and stablecoins. CEO Kevin O'Donnell leads the company, with board members including Tom Lee (Chairman of Bitmine Immersion Technologies) and advisor Brett Winton (Chief Futurist at ARK Invest). Eightco positions itself as building the infrastructure layer for human verification in the agentic AI era.
