Eightco's management believes the Company's treasury portfolio holds some of the most critical components for the future AI and digital financial system. On September 2, World announced it has open-sourced ProveKit, a zero-knowledge identity proving toolkit. On September 1, SB Energy filed for potential IPO backed by Softbank, OpenAI and Nvidia. On August 31, OpenAI announced ChatGPT Ads reached $1 billion in annualized revenue run rate less than 200 days after launch.
"AI stocks have been under pressure recently, partly a result of backlash against data centers. This seems to be an issue resonating with voters," said Tom Lee, Board Member of ORBS. "But despite this setback, AI progress continues at a rapid pace as evidenced by the multiple meaningful announcements in the past week. Eightco executed additional share buybacks as the Company has judged that accretively acquiring shares is a high return use of capital."
Eightco is built around three mega-trends expected to shape the next decade: artificial intelligence, digital identity, and the creator economy. ChatGPT is the #1 consumer AI app worldwide reaching more than one billion active users and more than two million businesses as of July 31, 2026. Worldcoin is the native token of World, a global Proof of Human network built by Tools for Humanity co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania and stewarded by World Foundation. Its Orb devices issue privacy-preserving World ID verifying user is unique human. Under World's business model, applications pay per-verification fees while end-user verification remains free. World identifies a $6.35 trillion combined addressable revenue opportunity across 13 industries spanning banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media, and agentic AI.
Beast Industries operates one of the largest direct-to-consumer reach footprints with combined 500 million-plus follower base anchored by MrBeast as most-watched person on YouTube globally. As AI commoditizes content production, distribution and audience trust become increasingly scarce assets.
