Eightco Holdings bets big on AI and identity with $391M treasury

Eightco Holdings has joined a $52.5 million funding round for the World Foundation, signaling a strategic pivot toward scaling utility for the World Network. The Nasdaq-listed company now maintains a $391 million treasury, anchored by massive holdings in OpenAI equity and Worldcoin tokens, positioning itself as a proxy for the AI era.

As of late July 2026, Eightco’s portfolio reflects an aggressive concentration in three pillars of modern tech: artificial intelligence, digital identity, and the creator economy. The firm’s treasury includes $90 million in indirect OpenAI equity, $18 million in Beast Industries, and nearly 302 million Worldcoin (WLD) tokens. This WLD stake represents approximately 8% of the circulating supply, marking the largest publicly disclosed institutional position in the asset globally.

Management is leaning into the concept of 'Proof of Human' as a foundational layer for future digital infrastructure. By capitalizing on the recent 43% reduction in daily WLD token issuance, Eightco executives anticipate a tighter supply-demand balance for the token. This transition coincides with broader industry developments, including OpenAI’s work on large-scale data center capacity and the growing integration of Agentic AI services, which rely on secure, human-verified transactions.
