Eightco Launches Worldcoin Treasury Strategy Targeting $8B Valuation

Eightco Holdings Inc. is making a bold bet on Worldcoin’s future, with Chairman Dan Ives projecting substantial value creation through the company’s targeted acquisition of 800 million WLD tokens. The $10 per token projection represents a significant valuation milestone that would translate to an $8 billion potential valuation for ORBS. This ambitious strategy follows the company’s successful $270 million PIPE financing closed on September 9th, providing substantial capital to execute its digital asset treasury (DAT) approach.

The company’s confidence in Worldcoin is backed by what Ives describes as ‘tremendous interest and enthusiasm’ around both Worldcoin and the ORBS treasury since its launch. In his newly launched monthly ‘Chairman’s Message’ video series, Ives emphasizes that WLD is ‘leading the charge into our AI-driven future,’ suggesting the company sees Worldcoin as positioned at the forefront of technological transformation. The strategic vision positions Eightco as delivering a ‘first-of-its-kind Worldcoin treasury strategy’ that could redefine digital asset management in the public markets.

At the core of Eightco’s strategy is the belief that World ID will emerge as the universal single sign-on solution for the AI era. The company currently reports over 17 million verified ‘World humans’ on the network, with an aggressive target of verifying 100 million humans within the next twelve months. This exponential growth target represents nearly a six-fold increase from current verification levels and underscores the company’s confidence in rapid global adoption.

Ives emphasizes the growing necessity for Proof of Human verification as AI-generated content continues to surge across digital platforms. ‘We believe World ID will emerge as the universal single sign-on of the future, integrating across governments, enterprises, fintech, dating, gaming, and beyond,’ he stated. This broad integration vision positions Worldcoin as more than just a cryptocurrency—it’s being developed as a fundamental infrastructure layer for digital identity verification in an increasingly automated world.

The company’s mission to achieve a ‘universal foundation for digital identity’ comes at a critical juncture in technological development. As artificial intelligence becomes more sophisticated and capable of mimicking human behavior, the need for reliable human verification systems becomes increasingly urgent across multiple sectors including finance, social media, and government services.

To support its ambitious growth targets, Chairman Dan Ives will embark on the ORBS World Tour, visiting key cities where World stores are located throughout October and December 2025. The tour includes stops in San Francisco, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, and London—strategic locations that represent both established tech hubs and emerging markets crucial for global adoption.

Eightco’s vision is supported by a select group of strategic and institutional investors including BitMine (BMNR), MOZAYYX, World Foundation, Wedbush, Coinfund, Discovery Capital Management, FalconX, Kraken, Pantera, GSR, and Brevan Howard. This diverse backing from both traditional financial institutions and cryptocurrency-focused firms provides the company with both capital and industry expertise to execute its ambitious strategy.

The company’s forward-looking statements acknowledge various risks and uncertainties, including maintaining Nasdaq compliance, raising adequate capital, attracting users, regulatory developments affecting digital assets, and shifting public and governmental positions. However, the current momentum—demonstrated by the successful $270 million PIPE financing and rapid user growth—suggests strong initial market confidence in Eightco’s unique approach to digital asset treasury management and identity verification infrastructure.
