Top AI news headlines:
ORBS management believes that the Company’s treasury portfolio contains some of the most crucial elements for the future of artificial intelligence and the digital financial system. Among the participations, the highlights of the last few weeks are:
- It was recently reported that hackers could potentially use AI to extract fingerprints from published images of people taking selfies with the peace sign. Using photo editing software and AI tools, digital ridges can be enhanced and made visible in high-resolution images (The New York Post). With the proliferation of advanced AI tools, Tools For Humanity Orb devices become significantly more important for demonstrating humanity.
- On June 8, OpenAI announced that it had filed a confidential S-1 filing, preparing for an initial public offering (OpenAI).
“A future IPO of OpenAI will allow public investors to own a direct stake in one of the most important companies driving the transformation of AI,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee, a member of Eightco’s board of directors. “ORBS, through its existing indirect holdings in OpenAI equity capital, allows investors to gain exposure to OpenAI prior to any public offering.”
Eightco: exposure to major megatrends
Eightco is built on three megatrends that the Company predicts will shape the next decade of innovation: AI, digital identity and the creator economy, with positions in each through indirect investments in OpenAI (22% of ORBS portfolio holdings), Worldcoin (32%) and Beast Industries (4%).
IA — OpenAI
Eightco has invested approximately $90 million in special purpose vehicles with exposure to equity stakes in OpenAI’s parent company, representing approximately 22% of treasury assets, one of the highest concentrations among all listed vehicles.
ChatGPT, OpenAI’s consumer app, has become the world’s number one AI consumer app (Sensor Tower) and surpassed 900 million weekly active users in February 2026, making it the fastest-growing consumer technology in history (UBS via Reuters).
Digital identity — WLD token
Eightco holds over 283 million WLD, representing approximately 8.4% of circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally and constituting approximately 32% of Eightco’s treasury assets.
Worldcoin is the native token of World, a global Proof of Human network created by Tools for Humanity (co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania) and managed by the World Foundation. Orb devices issue a World ID that protects privacy and verifies that the user is a natural person and not an AI agent.
Under the business model announced by World, applications pay fees for each verification, while end-user verification remains free, with both credential issuers and the World protocol monetizing the authentication of verified users. World identifies an overall potential revenue opportunity of $6.35 trillion across 13 industries, including banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media and agentic AI (according to Tools for Humanity).
Creator Economy — Beast Industries
Eightco invested $18 million in Beast Industries’ equity capital, representing approximately 4% of treasury assets.
Beast Industries boasts one of the largest direct-to-consumer distribution networks in the world, with over 500 million combined followers across all platforms, thanks in large part to MrBeast, the most followed person on YouTube globally. As AI commodifies content creation, distribution and public trust become increasingly scarce resources.
