Regarding Worldcoin, Eightco owns 283.45M WLD tokens currently priced near $0.25 per token. This translates to roughly $71M in market value — representing about 21% of total treasury assets and controlling 8.31% of Worldcoin’s complete circulating token supply.

Beast Industries Position and OpenAI Momentum Generate Interest
Eightco’s $18M investment in Beast Industries — the media enterprise connected to content creator MrBeast — has attracted considerable interest following management’s revenue guidance of $1.6B for 2026 during an advertiser presentation held May 12. This represents substantial growth from $899M recorded in 2025.
OpenAI continues commanding significant attention. The artificial intelligence company introduced its “Deployment Company” joint venture initiative on May 11, while The Wall Street Journal published a May 20 report suggesting OpenAI might be contemplating a public market listing.
Eightco further emphasized the domestic rollout of ChatGPT Personal Finance functionality for Pro subscribers as a noteworthy development among its portfolio companies.
The treasury disclosure also includes a smaller holding in Mythical Games, valued at approximately $1M.
The Strategic Rationale Behind Eightco’s Worldcoin Investment
Eightco’s significant commitment to Worldcoin stems from a distinct investment hypothesis: escalating non-human digital activity is generating substantial demand for proof-of-humanity verification systems.
Management referenced Fundstrat research indicating non-human activity currently represents 75% of Polymarket trading volume, 53% of internet traffic, and 47% of worldwide email communications.
Worldcoin’s Proof of Human infrastructure aims to address this verification challenge, with Eightco holding what appears to be the largest publicly disclosed institutional WLD token position.
Shares were exhibiting a technical “Sell” signal at announcement time, while TipRanks’ AI analyst maintained a Neutral rating — citing substantial continuing losses and cash expenditure as primary risk factors.
The company’s market capitalization stands at $349.2M with average daily share volume exceeding 25.6M.
