Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) Reports Total Assets of $336 Million

As of April 20, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET, ORBS holdings include a $90 million investment in OpenAI, a $25 million investment in Beast Industries, 283,452,700 Worldcoin (WLD) at $0.27 per WLD (per Coinbase), 11,068 Ethereum (ETH coins), and $118 million in cash and stablecoins, for total holdings of approximately $336 million.

The World Lift Off event took place on April 17, featuring numerous products and new functions. Key new announcements include:

• World ID protocol updates
• New partners: Zoom, DocuSign, Tinder, Browserbase, Exa, Okta, and Vercel
• New features added to human identity proof, facial authentication, deep facial recognition and credentials, and Concert Kit
• These features bring human identity proof to more platforms where people connect, work, and have fun
• Expanded use cases: from deepfake protection to bot-resistant governance

The need and use of World and Proof of Human are rapidly increasing in 2026. “Over 50% of all internet content is now generated by AI,” stated Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and co-founder of Tools for Humanity, during the World Lift Off keynote on April 17, 2026.

“Preventing ‘double identity’ is arguably the most important problem facing the digital economy today,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine, Head of Research at Fundstrat, and a member of Eightco’s board of directors. “By being able to verify the authenticity of our interactions, the world can positively harness increasingly powerful technologies while maintaining trust.”

“We can also avoid the most harmful risks arising from the growing capabilities of agent systems,” continued Lee. “After all, one of the primary uses of digital assets and blockchains was to prevent the ‘double-spend’ problem, and now Proof of Human prevents the ‘double human’.”

Notably, World and TFH also introduced AgentKit. This developer toolkit is designed to provide cryptographic proof that an AI agent is operated by a unique, verified human. In other words, as the agent economy grows, AgentKit provides a layer of trust by ensuring that this agent has been designated by a unique, verified person.

Eightco is built on three megatrends the company foresees shaping the next decade of innovation: artificial intelligence, digital identity, and the creator economy, with direct stakes in each through OpenAI (27% of ORBS balance sheet), Worldcoin (23%), and Beast Industries (7%).

Digital Identity — WLD Token

Eightco owns over 283 million WLD, approximately 9% of the circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position, and representing roughly 23% of Eightco’s treasury.

Bots and automated traffic currently account for nearly 58% of global web requests, officially becoming the majority and with rapid growth expected in 2026 as agents multiply. With bots now outnumbering humans online, proof of humanity is rapidly becoming essential infrastructure.

Worldcoin is the native token of World, a global proof-of-humanity network created by Tools for Humanity (co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania) and managed by the World Foundation. Its Orb device issues a privacy-preserving World ID that verifies a user is a unique human, not an AI agent.

Artificial Intelligence — OpenAI

Eightco owns $90 million worth of OpenAI shares, representing approximately 27% of its equity assets, one of the largest declared concentrations of OpenAI among public companies.

ChatGPT, OpenAI’s consumer application, has officially positioned itself as #1 in consumer AI, surpassing TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook in monthly downloads globally in early 2026 (Sensor Tower), making it the fastest-growing consumer application of the year.

Creator Economy — Beast Industries

Eightco owns $18 million worth of Beast Industries shares, with an additional future commitment of $7 million, totaling $25 million, approximately 7% of treasury assets.

Beast Industries became the first creator-led company to surpass a $5.2 billion private valuation, with a combined follower base of over 500 million across various platforms. As AI turns content creation, distribution, and audience trust into consumer goods, Beast Industries boasts one of the world’s largest direct-to-consumer reach presences.
