ORBS Holdings & Key Metrics
The ORBS Portfolio Thesis
As of June 24, 2026, at 6:00 pm. ET, ORBS holds holdings that include a $90 million investment (indirectly, via special purpose vehicle) in OpenAI, an $18 million investment in Beast Industries, a $1 million investment in Mythical Games, 283,452,700 Worldcoins (WLD) at $0.54 per WLD (according to Coinbase), 16,278 Ethereum (ETH), and a total of approximately $149 million in cash and stablecoins, for a total value of the holdings of approximately $436 million.
The main news at the top of the news:
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:
- At Cannes Lions, OpenAI presented its plans to make advertising a major source of revenue. The company said nearly 20% of queries on ChatGPT are for direct commercial intent with travel, retail, health and beauty, and financial services being the best-performing categories so far (Yahoo).
- On June 23, the Worldcoin token was made available for trading on the Robinhood (X.com) cryptocurrency platform, which currently serves 28 million customers.
- On June 23, Forbes ranked MrBeast No. 1 on its list of the top creators of 2026, recognizing Beast Industries’ rapid growth, its estimated $5 billion valuation, and its expansion into new markets, including personal finance solutions for teens (Forbes).
- On June 24, OpenAI and Broadcom unveiled Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first AI processor, taking an important step in their multi-generational commitment to building next-generation infrastructure for advanced AI (OpenAI).
“We continue to see positive developments in each of ORBS’ key strategic investments,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee, a member of Eightco’s Board of Directors. For us, the fact that Worldcoin is listed on Robinhood Crypto, and is now available for trading by HOOD’s 28 million customers, is a validation of World’s strategy. In our opinion, the expected greater liquidity of WLD increases the usefulness of the WLD token itself. MrBeast remains unrivaled as the world’s most influential creator, and we believe this continues to solidify Beast Industries’ entire offering.
“Additionally, we believe that SpaceX’s strong IPO performance bodes well for OpenAI’s long-awaited IPO,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee.
Eightco: exposure to major megatrends
Eightco is built on three megatrends that the Company predicts will shape the next decade of innovation: artificial intelligence, digital identity and the creator economy, with positions in each through indirect investments in OpenAI (21% of ORBS portfolio holdings), Worldcoin (35%) and Beast Industries (4%).
Artificial intelligence: OpenAI
Eightco has invested approximately $90 million in special purpose vehicles with exposure to equity stakes in OpenAI’s parent company, representing approximately 21% 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).
Identità digitale: Token WLD
Eightco holds over 283 million WLD, representing approximately 8.2% of circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally and constituting approximately 35% 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 turns content creation into a standardized commodity, distribution and public trust become increasingly scarce resources.
