Eightco Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: OCTO), a diversified holding company with subsidiaries in e-commerce inventory management and packaging solutions, has successfully closed a $270 million private placement.
The transaction establishes Eightco as the first publicly traded company to implement a Worldcoin (WLD) treasury strategy, underscoring a major step forward in the convergence of traditional capital markets, blockchain-based finance, and digital identity.

BitMine Immersion (NYSE American: BMNR) also made a $20 million strategic investment. Proceeds will be used to establish and maintain Eightco’s Worldcoin treasury reserve, with cash and Ethereum (ETH) as secondary reserve assets.
As part of this strategic shift, Eightco announced the appointment of renowned technology and AI analyst Dan Ives as Chairman of the Board. The Company also confirmed that its Nasdaq ticker will change from OCTO to ORBS, effective September 11, 2025.
