The company’s holdings are headlined by over 283 million WLD tokens, representing approximately 8.1% of the circulating supply and roughly 27% of its total treasury assets. This makes Eightco the largest publicly disclosed institutional holder of the Worldcoin token, which serves as the backbone for the World network’s "Proof of Human" protocol. Beyond digital assets, the firm maintains $149 million in cash and equivalents, alongside a $90 million indirect investment in OpenAI—constituting 23% of its treasury—and an $18 million stake in Beast Industries.
Management views this allocation as a hedge against the proliferation of deepfakes and automated AI agents. By capturing exposure to OpenAI’s consumer-facing applications, MrBeast’s creator-driven distribution, and World’s identity verification tools, Eightco aims to capitalize on the shift toward human-verified digital infrastructure. Board member Tom Lee noted that as AI industry capital expands, the ability to distinguish between human-generated and machine-generated signals becomes a critical economic requirement.
