On September 8, 2025, Eightco Holdings (Ticker: OCTO) revealed a major strategic move to acquire Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. This ambitious plan involves raising approximately $250 million through private placement, complemented by an additional $20 million investment led by Tom Lee's BitMine.

Eightco plans to establish Worldcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset, marking a pivotal shift towards integrating innovative crypto assets on its balance sheet. As part of this initiative, after the closing of the share placement on September 11, 2025, Eightco intends to change its stock ticker from OCTO to ORBS.

Notably, Worldcoin's technology powers World ID, which leverages biometric iris scans to create a unique digital identification system, pushing the boundaries of digital identity verification.

The market responded positively, with Eightco's market value rising to over $119 million following the announcement, reflecting investor confidence in the acquisition's potential.

For those interested in exploring crypto investment and purchasing options, platforms like Bitlet.app provide innovative services such as Crypto Installment plans, allowing you to buy cryptocurrencies now and pay monthly, making digital assets more accessible and easier to acquire.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the crypto space as Eightco and Worldcoin move closer to reshaping treasury management and digital identity solutions.
