Key Takeaways:
Eightco Holdings disclosed $406 million in total assets in a June 11 SEC filing, revealing holdings of 283 million Worldcoin tokens and more than 16,000 Ether.
"Eightco's portfolio spans private equity in OpenAI, a significant Ether position, and the largest publicly disclosed WLD holding by a corporate entity," the company said in the regulatory filing.
The asset breakdown includes an OpenAI equity stake, 16,000-plus ETH valued at roughly $29 million at current prices, and 283 million WLD tokens. The filing did not disclose the cost basis or acquisition timeline for the crypto positions. Eightco also holds a stake in Beast Industries, according to the filing.
The disclosure positions Eightco as the largest public holder of WLD, a token that jumped 21% on June 15 as the market absorbed the news. Worldcoin, the iris-scanning identity project founded by Sam Altman, has seen its token price rally as institutional interest grows. Eightco's 283 million WLD position represents a significant portion of the token's circulating supply, though the exact percentage depends on the latest supply data from Worldcoin's on-chain metrics.
The filing adds transparency to a growing trend of publicly traded companies accumulating digital assets alongside traditional equity stakes. BitMine Immersion Technologies, another publicly traded firm, recently disclosed 5.62 million ETH worth about $10.4 billion, underscoring the increasing overlap between public equity markets and crypto treasury strategies.
For Eightco, the combination of OpenAI equity — an AI-crypto crossover asset — alongside direct crypto holdings creates a unique balance sheet structure that blends private technology exposure with liquid digital assets. The company did not specify whether it plans to increase or reduce its crypto positions in future quarters.
