The Worldcoin allocation totals 283.45M WLD tokens, currently priced around $0.25 per token. This values the WLD position at roughly $71M—accounting for about 21% of total treasury holdings and representing 8.31% of Worldcoin’s complete circulating token supply.

MrBeast’s Beast Industries and OpenAI Momentum Generate Interest
The company’s $18M investment in Beast Industries—the media entity associated with content creator MrBeast—has attracted considerable attention following management’s forecast of $1.6B in 2026 revenue during a May 12 advertiser presentation. This represents substantial growth from $899M recorded in 2025.
OpenAI continues as a central investment theme. The artificial intelligence firm introduced its “Deployment Company” AI joint venture on May 11, while The Wall Street Journal reported on May 20 that OpenAI could be moving toward a potential public offering.
Eightco also emphasized the U.S. rollout of ChatGPT Personal Finance for Pro subscribers as a noteworthy development within one of its major portfolio holdings.
A minor position in Mythical Games rounds out the treasury at approximately $1M.
The Strategic Rationale Behind Eightco’s Worldcoin Position
Eightco’s substantial Worldcoin investment stems from a focused investment thesis: increasing non-human digital activity is generating demand for proof-of-human verification systems.
The firm referenced Fundstrat research indicating that non-human activity currently represents 75% of Polymarket trading volume, 53% of internet traffic, and 47% of worldwide email activity.
Worldcoin’s Proof of Human infrastructure addresses this challenge directly, with Eightco maintaining what appears to be the largest publicly disclosed institutional WLD token position.
Shares traded with a technical sentiment indicator of “Sell” at the time of the announcement, while TipRanks’ AI analyst assigned a Neutral rating—citing substantial ongoing losses and cash consumption as primary concerns.
The company’s market capitalization stands at $349.2M with average daily trading volume exceeding 25.6M shares.
