, /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. ("Bitmine" or the "Company") a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash & marketable securities + "moonshots" holdings totaling $11.5 billion.

Bitmine Weekly Update

STAKING: BMNR now staking over 4.9 million ETH as of July 19, 2026

ALCHEMY OF 5%: BMNR ranked #187 by 5D avg daily $ volume As of July 19, 2026 at 8:30pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 5,777,468 ETH at $1,879 per ETH (per CoinbaseNASDAQ: COIN), 207 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $58 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and total cash & marketable securities of $385 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 4.8% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

"Bitmine repurchased approximately 5.5 million shares of common stock in the past week at an average price of $15.6156. We view the purchase of our common shares as accretive to shareholder value," stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

Bitmine executed the 5.5 million common stock buyback under the previously authorized $4 billion share repurchase program. 

"Over the past week, we acquired 7,430 ETH. The reduced pace of buys reflects that Bitmine repurchased 5.5 million common shares. Bitmine has bought ETH every week since the inception of the ETH Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025," stated Lee.

On July 16, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman's Message (link here) for July 2026. The title of the Message is "ETH is the cure for the Uncanny Valley of Wealth."

Earlier in 2026, Bitmine launched MAVAN (the Made in American VAlidator Network), the institutional grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine's own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN intends to expand to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine's ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.

As of July 19, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 4,917,189 ($9.2 billion at $1,879 per ETH). "Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine's ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $290 million on an annualized basis (using 2.67% 7-day BMNR yield)," stated Lee.

"Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $247 million. And this 4.9 million ETH is 85% of the 5.78 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine's own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.67% (annualized)," continued Lee.

Bitmine's crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc., which reportedly owns 843,775 BTC valued at approximately $55 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $579 million (5-day average, as of July 17, 2026), ranking #187 in the US, behind AirBnB (rank #186) and ahead of Fastenal (rank #188) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

Bitmine management believes the GENIUS Act and Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.

ORBS Holdings & Key Metrics

The ORBS Portfolio Thesis

Al 15 luglio 2026, ore 16:30 ET, ORBS detiene partecipazioni che includono un investimento di 90 milioni di dollari (indirettamente, tramite società veicolo) in OpenAI, un investimento di 18 milioni di dollari in Beast Industries, un investimento di 1 milione di dollari in Mythical Games, 283.452.700 Worldcoin (WLD) a 0,41 dollari per WLD (secondo Coinbase), 16.278 Ethereum (ETH) e un totale di circa 148 milioni di dollari in contanti e stablecoin, per un valore complessivo delle partecipazioni pari a circa 406 milioni di dollari.

Le principali notizie in testa all'informazione:

Il management di ORBS ritiene che il portafoglio di tesoreria della Società contenga alcuni degli elementi più cruciali per il futuro dell'intelligenza artificiale e del sistema finanziario digitale. Tra le principali notizie di questa settimana vi sono:

Questa settimana, è stato comunicato che OpenAI sta sviluppando un prodotto ideato per fungere da compagno IA simile all'uomo, che sarà all'interno delle case. Questo prodotto consentirà il controllo dei dispositivi della smart-home, riprodurre contenuti multimediali, rispondere a domande e ai messaggi. Questo sviluppo collocherà OpenAI nel settore dell'hardware, e sarà in concorrenza con Apple, Google e altri (Bloomberg). Il 9 luglio, OpenAI ha lanciato GPT-5.6 Sol, che si focalizza su una migliore efficienza dei token (maggiore del 54% nella programmazione agentica), capacità potenziate nella programmazione, scienza, biologia e sicurezza informatica, supporto multimodale e nuove funzioni come GPT-Live. Segue un lancio graduale/limitato, in seguito a una richiesta del governo statunitense preoccupato per la sicurezza nazionale. Sol comprende una modalità "ultra" in caso di attività più complesse e funzionalità di sicurezza avanzate (OpenAI). Il 24 luglio 2026, il programma di emissione dei token di World raggiungerà un traguardo importante. Come delineato nel whitepaper originale di World, sta per terminare il principale periodo di sblocco triennale dei token della rete, è ciò comporterà una riduzione di circa il 43% il numero di WLD in circolazione ogni giorno, passando da circa 5,1 milioni a quasi 2,9 milioni di token. Al momento, ORBS detiene 283.452.700 WLD, che corrispondono a circa l'8% dell'offerta in circolazione e alla maggiore posizione in WLD resa pubblica a livello mondiale. Sebbene le holding di ORBS resteranno invariate il 24 luglio, il ritmo di emissione di nuovi token dovrebbe rallentare in modo significativo. I WLD continueranno a entrare in circolazione, tuttavia, a un ritmo giornaliero pari a circa la metà rispetto a quello precedente, rallentando in misura notevole la crescita dell'offerta complessiva (World). "OpenAI continua a potenziare in modo graduale le capacità di ChatGPT, e ciò contribuisce ad apportare miglioramenti notevoli dall'inizio da inizio anno. Il miglioramento dell'efficienza dei token è accolto in modo positivo da molti utenti", ha dichiarato Thomas "Tom" Lee, membro del consiglio di amministrazione di Eightco. "Crediamo che ORBS sia in una posizione unica per il domani. Mentre l'IA acquista maggiori caratteristiche personali e autonome, prevediamo che la prova di umanità diventerà una delle risorse più preziose dell'economia digitale".

Eightco: Esposizione ai principali megatrend

Eightco si fonda su tre megatrend che, secondo le previsioni dell'Azienda, plasmeranno il prossimo decennio dell'innovazione: IA, identità digitale ed economia dei creator, con posizioni in ciascuno di essi attraverso investimenti indiretti in OpenAI (22% delle partecipazioni in portafoglio di ORBS), Worldcoin (29%) e Beast Industries (4%).

Intelligenza artificiale: OpenAI

Eightco ha investito circa 90 milioni di dollari in veicoli a scopo speciale con esposizione a partecipazioni azionarie nella società madre di OpenAI, pari a circa il 22% delle attività di tesoreria, una delle concentrazioni più elevate tra tutti i veicoli quotati.

ChatGPT, l'app consumer di OpenAI, è diventata l'app consumer di intelligenza artificiale numero uno al mondo (Sensor Tower) e nel febbraio 2026 ha superato i 900 milioni di utenti attivi settimanali, diventando così la tecnologia consumer con la crescita più rapida della storia (UBS via Reuters).

Identità digitale: Token WLD

Eightco detiene oltre 283 milioni di WLD, pari a circa l'8% della fornitura circolante, la maggiore posizione istituzionale resa pubblica a livello globale e che costituisce circa il 29% degli asset di tesoreria di Eightco.

Worldcoin è il token nativo di World, una rete globale di "Proof of Human" creata da Tools for Humanity (cofondata da Sam Altman e Alex Blania) e gestita dalla World Foundation. I dispositivi Orb rilasciano un World ID che tutela la privacy e verifica che l'utente sia una persona fisica e non un agente AI.

In base al modello di business annunciato da World, le applicazioni pagano commissioni per ogni verifica, mentre la verifica degli utenti finali rimane gratuita, con sia gli emittenti di credenziali che il protocollo World che monetizzano l'autenticazione degli utenti verificati. World individua un'opportunità di fatturato potenziale complessiva pari a 6,35 trilioni di dollari in 13 settori, tra cui quello bancario, l'e-commerce, il gaming, i social media e l'IA agentica (secondo Tools for Humanity).

Economia dei creatori — Beast Industries

Eightco ha investito 18 milioni di dollari nel capitale azionario di Beast Industries, pari a circa il 4% delle attività di tesoreria.

Beast Industries vanta una delle più ampie reti di distribuzione diretta al consumatore al mondo, con oltre 500 milioni di follower complessivi su tutte le piattaforme, grazie soprattutto a MrBeast, la persona più seguita su YouTube a livello globale. Man mano che l'IA trasforma la creazione di contenuti in un bene standardizzato, la distribuzione e la fiducia del pubblico diventano risorse sempre più scarse.

Informazioni su Eightco Holdings Inc.

(NASDAQ: ORBS) è una holding quotata in borsa, che sta implementando una strategia di tesoreria innovativa basata su Worldcoin (WLD), offrendo agli investitori un'esposizione indiretta, tramite un unico ticker, a tre dei trend principali di questo ciclo: l'IA attraverso il suo investimento indiretto in OpenAI, l'identità digitale attraverso la posizione di maggiore detentore pubblico di WLD e del protocollo Proof-of-Human, e l'economia dei creator attraverso la partecipazione azionaria in Beast Industries di MrBeast.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("Eightco" of "de onderneming") heeft vandaag een update gegeven over de totale bezittingen, waarbij de nadruk wordt gelegd op de posities in digitale activa en strategische investeringen in toonaangevende private technologieondernemingen.

ORBS Holdings & Key Metrics

The ORBS Portfolio Thesis

Op 15 juli 2026 om 16:30 uur (ET) omvatten de bezittingen van ORBS een investering van 90 miljoen dollar (indirect, via SPV's) in OpenAI, een reeds gefinancierde investering van 18 miljoen dollar in Beast Industries, een investering van 1 miljoen dollar in Mythical Games, 283.452.700 Worldcoin (WLD) gewaardeerd op 0,41 dollar per WLD (via Coinbase), 16.278 Ethereum (ETH) en ongeveer 148 miljoen dollar aan liquide middelen en stablecoins, wat neerkomt op een totale portefeuillewaarde van circa 406 miljoen dollar.

Belangrijkste ontwikkelingen:

Het management van ORBS is van mening dat de treasuryportefeuille van de onderneming enkele van de meest cruciale componenten bevat voor het toekomstige AI- en digitale financiële systeem. De belangrijkste ontwikkelingen van deze week zijn:

Deze week werd gemeld dat OpenAI een product ontwikkelt dat bedoeld is om te dienen als een mensachtige AI-assistent voor thuis. Dit product zal helpen bij het aansturen van smart-home-apparaten, het afspelen van media, het beantwoorden van vragen en het reageren op berichten. Deze ontwikkeling brengt OpenAI op het gebied van hardware, waarmee het de concurrentie aangaat met onder andere Apple en Google (Bloomberg). Op 9 juli bracht OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol uit, een model dat de nadruk legt op een betere token-efficiëntie (54% efficiënter bij agentische softwareontwikkeling) en sterkere prestaties biedt op het gebied van programmeren, wetenschap, biologie, cybersecurity, multimodale ondersteuning en nieuwe functies zoals GPT-Live. Dit volgt op een gefaseerde en beperkte uitrol na een verzoek van de Amerikaanse regering vanwege zorgen over de nationale veiligheid. Sol bevat een 'ultra'-modus voor complexere taken en geavanceerde veiligheidsfunctionaliteiten (OpenAI). Op 24 juli 2026 zal het uitgifteschema van de World-token een belangrijke mijlpaal bereiken. Zoals uiteengezet in de oorspronkelijke whitepaper van World zal naar verwachting de grootste driejarige token-unlockperiode van het netwerk aflopen. Hierdoor daalt het aantal WLD-tokens dat dagelijks in omloop wordt gebracht met circa 43%, van ongeveer 5,1 miljoen naar ongeveer 2,9 miljoen tokens. ORBS bezit momenteel 283.452.700 WLD. Dit komt overeen met ongeveer 8% van het circulerende aanbod en is de grootste openbaar gemaakte WLD-positie ter wereld. Hoewel de bezittingen van ORBS op 24 juli ongewijzigd blijven, zal het tempo waarin nieuwe tokens worden uitgegeven naar verwachting aanzienlijk vertragen. WLD-tokens zullen in omloop blijven komen, maar tegen ongeveer de helft van het eerdere dagelijkse tempo, wat de groei van het totale aanbod aanzienlijk zal vertragen (World). "OpenAI blijft de functionaliteiten van ChatGPT stapsgewijs verbeteren, wat dit jaar al heeft geleid tot significante vooruitgang. De verbetering in token-efficiëntie wordt door veel gebruikers verwelkomd", aldus Thomas "Tom" Lee, bestuurslid van Eightco. "Wij geloven dat ORBS uniek is gepositioneerd voor de toekomst. Naarmate AI persoonlijker en autonomer wordt, verwachten we dat Proof of Human-verificatie een van de meest waardevolle activa in de digitale economie zal worden."

Eightco: Blootstelling aan cruciale megatrends

Eightco is gebouwd rond drie megatrends waarvan de onderneming verwacht dat ze het komende decennium van innovatie zullen bepalen: kunstmatige intelligentie, digitale identiteit en de creator economy. De onderneming heeft posities in elk van deze trends via haar indirecte investering in OpenAI (22% van de treasuryportefeuille van ORBS), Worldcoin (29%) en Beast Industries (4%).

Kunstmatige intelligentie — OpenAI

Eightco heeft ongeveer 90 miljoen dollar geïnvesteerd in special purpose vehicles (SPV's) met blootstelling aan aandelenbelangen in de moedermaatschappij van OpenAI. Dit vertegenwoordigt circa 22% van de treasuryactiva, een van de grootste openbaar gemaakte belangen onder beursgenoteerde investeringsvehikels.

ChatGPT, de consumenten-app van OpenAI, is wereldwijd de nummer 1 onder de AI-consumenten-apps (Sensor Tower) en passeerde in februari 2026 de grens van 900 miljoen wekelijkse actieve gebruikers, waarmee het de snelst groeiende consumententechnologie in de geschiedenis is (UBS via Reuters).

Digitale identiteit — WLD-token

Eightco bezit meer dan 283 miljoen WLD, wat neerkomt op ongeveer 8% van het aanbod in omloop. Dit is wereldwijd de grootste openbaar gemaakte institutionele positie en vertegenwoordigt ongeveer 29% van de treasuryactiva van Eightco.

Worldcoin is de native token van World, een wereldwijd Proof of Human-netwerk dat is gebouwd door Tools for Humanity (mede opgericht door Sam Altman en Alex Blania) en wordt beheerd door de World Foundation. De Orb-apparaten verstrekken een privacyvriendelijke World ID die verifieert dat een gebruiker een uniek mens is en geen AI-agent.

Onder het aangekondigde businessmodel van World betalen applicaties een vergoeding per verificatie, terwijl de verificatie voor de eindgebruiker gratis blijft. Hierbij genereren zowel uitgevers van credentials als het World-protocol inkomsten uit verificatie van geverifieerde personen.

Bitmine hält 4,8 % des gesamten ETH-Umlaufs von 120,7 Millionen

Bitmine hat in nur 12 Monaten bereits 96 % des Weges zur „Alchemie of 5 %" zurückgelegt

Bitmine wurde am 26. Juni 2026 in den Russell 1000 Large-Cap-Index aufgenommen

Die Vorzugsaktien der Serie A von Bitmine werden an der NYSE unter dem Symbol BMNP gehandelt

Bitmine wird weiterhin von einer Gruppe führender institutioneller Investoren unterstützt, darunter Cathie Wood von ARK, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital und der Privatinvestor Thomas „Tom" Lee, um das Ziel von Bitmine zu unterstützen, 5 % der ETH zu erwerben

, /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. („Bitmine" oder das „Unternehmen"), ein im Bitcoin- und Ethereum-Netzwerk tätiges Unternehmen mit Schwerpunkt auf der Akkumulation von Kryptowährungen für langfristige Investitionen, gab heute die Veröffentlichung der Botschaft des Vorstandsvorsitzenden für Juli mit dem Titel „ETH ist das Heilmittel gegen das ‚Uncanny Valley of Wealth'" bekannt.

The Uncanny Valley

The "Uncanny Valley of Wealth" In dieser Botschaft des Vorstandsvorsitzenden wird die Überzeugung des Unternehmens dargelegt, dass Ethereum eine entscheidende Schnittstelle darstellt, um den Menschen vor den Folgeauswirkungen der zunehmenden Fähigkeiten der KI und dem daraus resultierenden wachsenden wirtschaftlichen Einfluss zu schützen:

Das „Uncanny Valley of Wealth" ist die Vorstellung, dass Menschen letztendlich durch die wachsende wirtschaftliche und soziale Macht einer Wirtschaft verunsichert werden, die zunehmend von agentenbasierter KI und bald auch von Maschine-zu-Maschine-Interaktionen angetrieben wird.   Dies ist eine Abwandlung des Konzepts des japanischen Robotikers Masahiro Mori, der 1970 den Aufsatz „Uncanny Valley" veröffentlichte. Seine Hypothese beschreibt das beunruhigende Gefühl, das Menschen oft überkommt, wenn sie auf etwas stoßen, das fast menschlich aussieht. Der Kryptomarkt sah sich 2026 mit makroökonomischen Gegenwinden konfrontiert, darunter die Einpreisung einer „hawkischen" Kehrtwende der globalen Zentralbanken durch die Anleihemärkte, der langsame Fortschritt des Clarity Act, die Outperformance von KI (auch bekannt als FOMO, „Fear of Missing Out") und die Underperformance des Finanzsektors. Im weiteren Verlauf des Jahres 2026 könnten sich unserer Ansicht nach viele dieser Gegenwinde in Rückenwind verwandeln. Während viele dies einfach dem „Krypto-Winter" zuschreiben, gab es im Jahr 2026 zahlreiche positive fundamentale Fortschritte, darunter die Ankündigung der Tokenisierung von Vermögenswerten durch viele Banken sowie die Einführung neuer Ethereum-Layer-2-Lösungen (L2) wie beispielsweise der Robinhood Chain. Dies steht im Gegensatz zu den Krypto-Wintern 2018 und 2022, als regulatorische Gegenwinde und der Zusammenbruch von Krypto-Institutionen diese Rückgänge prägten. Der Vorsitzende ist der Ansicht, dass Ethereum gut positioniert ist, um von zwei exponentiellen Treibern zu profitieren: dem Aufbau von Infrastruktur auf der Blockchain durch die Wall Street und der agentenbasierten KI (wie oben erläutert). Der Vorsitzende erläutert zudem, wie sich Bitmine strategisch auf die wichtigen Treiber des nächsten Krypto-Aufschwungs ausrichtet, indem es wichtige Infrastrukturpartner unterstützt und das Ethereum-Ökosystem stärkt.

Bitmine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK's Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas "Tom" Lee to support Bitmine's goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

, /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. ("Bitmine" or the "Company") a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced the release of the July Chairman's Message titled "ETH is the cure for the 'Uncanny Valley of Wealth.'"

This Chairman message explains the company's belief that Ethereum is a critical interface to protect humans from the downstream implications of the increasing capabilities of AI and the resulting growing economic influence:

The Uncanny Valley

The "Uncanny Valley of Wealth" The 'Uncanny Valley of Wealth' is the notion that humans will ultimately become unsettled by the growing economic and social power of an economy increasingly fueled by agentic-AI and soon, machine-to-machine.  This is a variant of the Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori in 1970 who published the essay "Uncanny Valley." His hypothesis describes the unsettling feeling people often get when they encounter something that looks almost human. Crypto faced macro headwinds in 2026 including bond markets pricing a "hawkish" flip by global central banks, the slow progress of the Clarity Act, AI outperformance (aka FOMO, or fear of missing out) and underperformance of financials. As we move through 2026, we believe many of these headwinds could turn into tailwinds. While many simply say just attribute this to 'crypto winter,' 2026 has seen much positive fundamental progress including many banks announcing tokenization of assets, new Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) launches, such as Robinhood Chain. This is a contrast to the 2018 and 2022 crypto winters where regulatory headwinds and collapse of crypto institutions marked those declines. The Chairman believes that Ethereum is positioned to benefit from two exponential drivers of Wall Street building rails on blockchain and agentic-AI (as discussed above). The Chairman also discusses how Bitmine is positioning itself strategically for the important drivers of the next crypto upcycle supporting key infrastructure partners and strengthening the Ethereum ecosystem.

Founded by the team behind the Ethereum Foundation's Institutional Privacy Task Force, EthSystems is building privacy and compliance technology for Ethereum

Key backers include Bitmine, Sharplink and Joe Lubin

, /PRNewswire/ -- EthSystems, an engineering and research company (the "Company"), today announced its public launch with anchor funding from Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BMNR), Sharplink, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBET), Joe Lubin and other ecosystem supporters. The Company is building privacy technology that lets banks, asset managers and other regulated institutions execute financial transactions on Ethereum at scale, without exposing sensitive information like trade details or client identities.

EthSystems Launches to Build Privacy Solutions for Institutions on Ethereum EthSystems is founded by the team that built and ran the Ethereum Foundation's Institutional Privacy Task Force ("IPTF"). It launches with a year of open-source work already public at ethsystems.org, and with relationships built directly with central banks, regulators, tier-one banks and asset managers.

Banks, asset managers and market infrastructure providers are already exploring and deploying stablecoins, tokenized assets and settlement on Ethereum. But meaningful institutional adoption requires more than access to the network: institutions need complete systems that protect commercially sensitive information, satisfy regulatory and compliance requirements, and integrate with the infrastructure they already operate. EthSystems builds the technology that lets each party to a transaction see what it has a right to see, nothing more, without giving up the decentralization and security that are core to Ethereum.

EthSystems joins two other organizations recently spun out of the Ethereum Foundation, each with a distinct and complementary role. Ethlabs advances Ethereum's core protocol and infrastructure. Ethereum Institutional leads institutional engagement, education, market intelligence and ecosystem coordination. EthSystems operates at the applied technical layer; translating institutional requirements into the architectures, protocols and production systems that carry real financial activity on Ethereum.

EthSystems' founding team, Mo Jalil, Oskar Thorén and Aaryamann Challani, built and led the IPTF, working directly with central banks, regulators and top-tier financial institutions over the past year. Their backgrounds include the Ethereum Foundation, Goldman Sachs and Status, one of the earliest Ethereum mobile clients, where they helped build core privacy infrastructure now used across the Ethereum ecosystem. That mix of institutional and technical experience is why the founders believe they can help institutions build high-quality privacy solutions with real credibility.

Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine. "The institutionalization of Ethereum requires infrastructure that meets institutional standards for privacy and security. The next $100 trillion of assets won't migrate on-chain without it. EthSystems is building that missing layer with a team that understands how institutions evaluate and adopt new technologies. This is exactly the kind of foundational investment Bitmine is making to accelerate Ethereum's evolution as institutional financial infrastructure."

Joseph Chalom, Chief Executive Officer of Sharplink. "Our core thesis is that Ethereum's differentiated value compounds as more financial activity moves onto it. The full Ethereum opportunity can only be realized if institutions can use the network while preserving privacy. This team has rigorously validated these solutions with key institutions that require them. We believe EthSystems' work will accelerate the next phase of institutional adoption of Ethereum. By supporting the EthSystems team, we are directly advancing the privacy and confidentiality capabilities required for major financial institutions to operate on Ethereum — and doing so in a way that aligns with our mission to create long‑term value for our shareholders."

Joe Lubin, Ethereum co-founder and founder and Chief Executive Officer of Consensys. "Over the years, I've watched many teams offer institutions privacy technology that was sometimes just permissioned systems with extra steps. This team understands the difference deeply. They have a year of shipped work to show for it, and the discipline to publish the work as they go, so the rest of the ecosystem can build on it, instead of waiting for one company to hand down the answer. That's how the Ethereum ecosystem has always innovated. It is what Ethereum needs from the people building its institutional layer, and it's what this team has brought from day one. I and the Consensys Institutional group look forward to collaborating closely with the EthSystems team to bring best in class privacy and confidentiality constructs to the best in class systems we build with and for major financial institutions."

Mo Jalil, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of EthSystems

"Privacy is what preserves the dignity, safety and security of everyone on a network, from individuals to institutions. It is why Ethereum has won institutional capital and is on its way to win institutional commerce. No central bank, asset manager or government will run operations in full view of the world. For them, privacy isn't a feature. It is the requirement, and it is the difference between Ethereum holding billions today and running trillions tomorrow."

Bitmine Weekly Update

Robinhood Chain: It's a big deal

STAKING: BMNR now staking over 4.9 million ETH as of July 12, 2026

ALCHEMY of 5%: BMNR ranked #215 by 5D avg daily $ volume

As of July 12, 2026 at 5:00pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 5,770,038 ETH at $1,820 per ETH (per CoinbaseNASDAQ: COIN), 206 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $69 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and total cash & marketable securities of $482 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 4.8% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

"One of the biggest crypto success stories in 2026 is the breakaway success of the Robinhood Chain L2 mainnet on July 1, built on Arbitrum. Already, dollar volumes have exceeded $1 billion, and Robinhood Chain now has more trading volume than any other decentralized exchange (DEX), demonstrating the outstanding utility and product market fit for Ethereum, which is the underlying chain," stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

"Robinhood Chain uses ETH as the native gas token. And transaction fees are denominated in ETH and the finality is settled on Ethereum. Robinhood's 27 million users are paying crypto fees denominated in ETH. In other words, everyday users are starting to see ETH as money," stated Lee.

On June 26, Bitmine was added to the Russell 1000 Large-cap Index, in conjunction with the annual reconstitution of this index. The Investment Company Institute, or ICI, estimates that passive investment funds and ETFs typically represent 18-20% of the shares of a company.

"Being added to the Russell 1000 is expected to add hundreds and possibly thousands of additional institutional investors as equity owners of Bitmine," continued Lee.

On June 10, Bitmine closed its offering (the "offering") registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 3,500,000 shares of 9.50% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), at a public offering price of $80.00 per share.

The Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $273.8 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the Company's estimated offering expenses. The Series A Preferred Stock is trading on the NYSE under the symbol BMNP. The dividends for BMNP are scheduled to be paid weekly, subject to the terms of the applicable Certificate of Designations.

On May 11, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman's Message (link here) for May 2026.

"Over the past week, we acquired 27,801 ETH, increasing our pace from the prior week. We continue to maintain a steady pace of accumulation throughout 2026. We believe we are in the early stages of crypto spring. Bitmine is expected to reach the 'alchemy of 5%' sometime in 2026," stated Lee.

Earlier in 2026, Bitmine launched MAVAN (the Made in American VAlidator Network), the institutional grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine's own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN intends to expand to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine's ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.

As of July 12, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 4,917,189 ($9.0 billion at $1,820 per ETH). "Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine's ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $284 million on an annualized basis (using 2.70% 7-day BMNR yield)," stated Lee.

"Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $242 million. And this 4.9 million ETH is 85% of the 5.77 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine's own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.70% (annualized)," continued Lee.

Bitmine's crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc., which reportedly owns 843,775 BTC valued at approximately $54 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $475 million (5-day average, as of July 10, 2026), ranking #215 in the US, behind Southern Company (rank #214) and ahead of Equinix Inc. (rank #216) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

Bitmine management believes the GENIUS Act and Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.

Samenstelling van de kasmiddelen van Eightco per 8 juli 2026: 90 miljoen dollar aan aandelen in OpenAI (indirect), 18 miljoen dollar aan aandelen in Beast Industries, 16.278 ETH, 283 miljoen WLD in bezit, en 149 miljoen dollar aan contanten en kasequivalenten, in totaal ongeveer 397 miljoen dollar

Worldcoin-token (WLD) nu genoteerd op Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD), waarbij de toegang tot miljoenen wordt uitgebreid

OpenAI heeft onlangs bekendgemaakt dat het een vertrouwelijk S-1-document heeft ingediend, waarmee het de weg vrijmaakt voor een beursgang

Eightco biedt indirecte blootstelling aan enkele van de meest innovatieve private bedrijven, waaronder OpenAI en Beast Industries

, /PRNewswire/ -- Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("Eightco" of "de onderneming") heeft vandaag een update gegeven over zijn totale portefeuille, waarbij de nadruk wordt gelegd op zijn positie in digitale activa en strategische investeringen in toonaangevende private technologiebedrijven.

ORBS Holdings & Key Metrics

The ORBS Portfolio Thesis

Per 8 juli 2026, om 18.00 uur ET, omvatten de beleggingen van ORBS een investering van 90 miljoen dollar (indirect, via SPV's) in OpenAI, een gefinancierde investering van 18 miljoen dollar in Beast Industries, een investering van 1 miljoen dollar in Mythical Games, 283.452.700 Worldcoin (WLD) tegen 0,39 dollar per WLD (volgens Coinbase), 16.278 Ethereum (ETH) en in totaal ongeveer 149 miljoen dollar aan contanten en stablecoins, wat neerkomt op een totale portefeuille van ongeveer 397 miljoen dollar.

Belangrijkste ontwikkelingen:

Het management van ORBS is van mening dat de treasuryportefeuille van de onderneming enkele van de meest essentiële componenten bevat voor het toekomstige AI- en digitale financiële systeem. De belangrijkste koppen van deze week zijn:

OpenAI heeft aangekondigd dat het zijn GPT-5.6-modellen Sol, Terra en Luna op 9 juli 2026 publiek beschikbaar zal maken. Volgens OpenAI is GPT-5.6 Sol zijn krachtigste model tot nu toe, met verbeterde prestaties op het gebied van programmeren, biologie en cyberbeveiliging (CNBC). Op 8 juli werd bovendien bekendgemaakt dat de OpenAI Deployment Company een overeenkomst heeft gesloten voor de overname van Northslope, een bedrijf dat gespecialiseerd is in toegepaste AI. Door deze overname wordt het team van de Deployment Company uitgebreid met honderden forward deployed engineers (FDE's), die nauw samenwerken met klanten om AI-systemen binnen hun organisaties te ontwikkelen. Dit onderstreept dat de AI-race mogelijk niet wordt beslist door de lancering van nieuwe modellen, maar door de vraag welk bedrijf erin slaagt ondernemingen zijn AI-oplossingen daadwerkelijk te laten gebruiken. (Axios). Op 7 juli maakte ABC bekend dat MrBeast dit najaar als gastinvesteerder ('Guest Shark') zal deelnemen aan seizoen 18 van Shark Tank. Daarmee maakt de maker met de meeste abonnees ter wereld zijn debuut als investeerder in het programma (ABC). Op 6 juli opende World zijn belangrijkste winkel in Londen. Bezoekers kunnen er kennismaken met de voordelen van Private Proof of Human en via een Orb verifiëren dat ze een mens zijn (World). Later deze maand, op 24 juli 2026, zal de hoeveelheid WLD die dagelijks op de markt komt automatisch met 43% afnemen, van ongeveer 5,1 miljoen naar 2,9 miljoen tokens per dag. Daarmee komt een einde aan de meest omvangrijke driejarige vrijgaveperiode van de token (World Foundation). Dit vrijgaveschema werd vastgelegd in de World-whitepaper bij de introductie van de token. Het bedrijf bezit 283.452.700 WLD, goed voor ongeveer 8,1% van alle WLD-tokens die momenteel in omloop zijn. Daarmee beschikt het over de grootste publiek bekendgemaakte WLD-positie ter wereld. Die positie verandert op 24 juli niet. Wat wél verandert, is dat de hoeveelheid WLD in omloop blijft toenemen, maar dat de groei van het aanbod na 24 juli ongeveer half zo snel zal verlopen als voorheen. "Het lijkt wel alsof de mogelijkheden en innovaties op het gebied van AI de markten elke week opnieuw versteld doen staan", aldus Thomas ('Tom') Lee, bestuurslid van Eightco. "De aanstaande introductie van GPT-5.6 door OpenAI en de overname van Northslope tonen aan dat de volgende fase van AI niet alleen draait om de ontwikkeling van krachtigere modellen, maar ook om het op grote schaal stimuleren van de adoptie ervan door bedrijven."

"Wat World betreft, zien wij de uitbreiding naar Londen als een weerspiegeling van het groeiende belang van een betrouwbare digitale identiteit, nu AI steeds verder geïntegreerd raakt in het dagelijks leven. Wij zijn ervan overtuigd dat ORBS dankzij zijn blootstelling aan zowel OpenAI als World een unieke positie inneemt. Deze twee platforms helpen de toekomst van kunstmatige intelligentie vorm te geven, evenals de infrastructuur die nodig is om die toekomst mogelijk te maken", vervolgde Lee.

Eightco: Blootstelling aan cruciale megatrends

Eightco is opgebouwd rond drie megatrends waarvan het bedrijf verwacht dat ze het komende decennium van innovatie zullen bepalen: kunstmatige intelligentie, digitale identiteit en de creator-economie. Het bedrijf heeft posities in elk van deze trends via indirecte investeringen in OpenAI (23% van de kasposities van ORBS), Worldcoin (28%) en Beast Industries (5%).

Kunstmatige intelligentie — OpenAI

Eightco heeft ongeveer negentig miljoen dollar geïnvesteerd in special purpose vehicles (SPV's) met blootstelling aan aandelenbelangen in de moederonderneming van OpenAI. Dit vertegenwoordigt circa 23% van de treasuryactiva, een van de hoogste openbaar gemaakte concentraties onder beursgenoteerde ondernemingen.

ChatGPT, de consumenten-app van OpenAI, is wereldwijd de nummer 1 onder de AI-apps voor consumenten (Sensor Tower) en passeerde in februari 2026 de grens van negenhonderd miljoen wekelijkse actieve gebruikers, waarmee het de snelst groeiende consumententechnologie in de geschiedenis is (UBS via Reuters).

Digitale identiteit — WLD-token

Eightco bezit meer dan 283 miljoen WLD, wat neerkomt op ongeveer 8,1% van het aanbod in omloop. Dit is wereldwijd de grootste openbaar gemaakte institutionele positie en vertegenwoordigt ongeveer 28% van de treasuryactiva van Eightco.

Worldcoin is het native token van World, een wereldwijd 'Proof of Human'-netwerk dat is gebouwd door Tools for Humanity (mede opgericht door Sam Altman en Alex Blania) en wordt beheerd door de World Foundation. De Orb-apparaten geven een privacyvriendelijke World ID uit die verifieert dat een gebruiker een uniek mens is en geen AI-agent.

Onder het aangekondigde businessmodel van World betalen applicaties een vergoeding per verificatie, terwijl de verificatie voor eindgebruikers gratis blijft. Hierbij genereren zowel de uitgevers van verificatiegegevens als het World-protocol inkomsten uit de authenticatie van geverifieerde personen. World identificeert een gecombineerde omzetkans van 6,35 biljoen dollar in dertien sectoren, variërend van het bankwezen, e-commerce, gaming en sociale media tot agentische AI (volgens Tools for Humanity).

Creator Economy — Beast Industries

Eightco heeft $18 miljoen geïnvesteerd in aandelen van Beast Industries, ongeveer 5% van de treasuryactiva.

Beast Industries beschikt over een van de grootste directe consumentenbereiken ter wereld, met een gecombineerde achterban van meer dan vijfhonderd miljoen volgers verspreid over verschillende platformen, verankerd door MrBeast als de meest bekeken persoon op YouTube wereldwijd. Naarmate AI contentproductie steeds meer tot een commodity maakt, worden distributie en het vertrouwen van het publiek steeds schaarser.

Over Eightco Holdings Inc.

Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) is een beursgenoteerde onderneming die een unieke Worldcoin (WLD) treasury-strategie uitvoert. Ze biedt beleggers via één beursnotering indirecte blootstelling aan drie bepalende trends van deze cyclus: kunstmatige intelligentie via haar indirecte investering in OpenAI, digitale identiteit via haar positie als grootste publieke houder van WLD en het Proof of Human-protocol, en de creator economy via haar aandelenbelang in Beast Industries van MrBeast. Ondersteund door toonaangevende institutionele beleggers, waaronder Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE: BMNR), MOZAYYX, World Foundation, CoinFund, Discovery Capital Management, FalconX, Payward/Kraken, Pantera en GSR, bouwt Eightco aan de infrastructuurlaag voor menselijke verificatie in het tijdperk van agentische AI.

ORBS Holdings & Key Metrics

The ORBS Portfolio Thesis

Au 8 juillet 2026, à 18 h (heure de l'Est), le portefeuille d'ORBS comprend un investissement de 90 millions de dollars (indirectement, par l'intermédiaire d'entités ad hoc) dans OpenAI, un investissement financé de 18 millions de dollars dans Beast Industries, un investissement de 1 million de dollars dans Mythical Games, 283 452 700 Worldcoin (WLD) à 0,39 $ par WLD (selon Coinbase), 16 278 Ethereum (ETH) et environ 149 millions de dollars en liquidités et en stablecoins, pour un total d'actifs d'environ 397 millions de dollars.

Les principaux titres qui font l'actualité :

La direction d'ORBS estime que le portefeuille de trésorerie de la Société contient certains des éléments les plus déterminants pour l'avenir du système financier numérique et de l'IA. Parmi les principaux titres de cette semaine, on peut citer :

OpenAI a annoncé le lancement de ses modèles GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra et Luna le 9 juillet 2026. Selon OpenAI, GPT-5.6 Sol est son « modèle le plus performant à ce jour » et offre des capacités accrues dans les domaines du codage, de la biologie et de la cybersécurité (CNBC). Le 8 juillet, la société OpenAI Deployment Company a annoncé avoir conclu un accord en vue d'acquérir Northslope, une entreprise spécialisée dans l'IA appliquée. Cet accord permet à l'équipe de Deployment Company de s'enrichir de plusieurs centaines d'« ingénieurs déployés sur le terrain » (FDE) qui travaillent aux côtés des clients pour mettre en place des systèmes d'IA au sein de leurs organisations. Cela souligne le fait que la course à l'IA pourrait se jouer davantage sur la capacité à convaincre les entreprises d'utiliser ses outils d'IA que sur la publication de modèles (Axios). Le 7 juillet, ABC a annoncé que MrBeast ferait une apparition en tant qu'invité dans la saison 18 de « Shark Tank », cet automne. Cette apparition marque les débuts en tant qu'investisseur dans l'émission du créateur comptant le plus grand nombre d'abonnés au monde (ABC). Le 6 juillet, World a inauguré son magasin phare à Londres, où les visiteurs peuvent découvrir les avantages de la « preuve d'humanité » privée et vérifier leur humanité à l'aide d'un Orb (World). À la fin de ce mois, le 24 juillet 2026, la quantité de WLD mise sur le marché chaque jour diminuera automatiquement de 43 %, passant d'environ 5,1 millions à environ 2,9 millions de jetons par jour, à mesure que s'achève la période de distribution la plus intense de ce jeton, qui a duré trois ans (World Foundation). Ce calendrier a été défini dans le livre blanc de World lors du lancement du jeton. La société détient 283 452 700 WLD, soit environ 8,1 % de l'ensemble des WLD actuellement sur le marché, ce qui représente la plus importante position rendue publique au monde. Cette situation ne changera pas le 24 juillet ; ce qui changera, c'est que l'offre de WLD continuera d'augmenter, mais que le rythme de cette augmentation après le 24 juillet sera environ deux fois moins élevé qu'auparavant. « Il semble que chaque semaine, les capacités et les innovations issues de l'IA ne cessent d'étonner les marchés », a déclaré Thomas « Tom » Lee, membre du conseil d'administration d'Eightco. « Le lancement prochain de GPT-5.6 par OpenAI et son rachat de Northslope montrent que la prochaine étape de l'IA ne consiste pas seulement à développer des modèles plus performants, mais aussi à favoriser l'adoption de cette technologie à grande échelle par les entreprises. »

« En ce qui concerne World, nous considérons que son expansion à Londres reflète l'importance croissante d'une identité numérique fiable, à mesure que l'IA s'intègre de plus en plus dans la vie quotidienne. Nous pensons qu'ORBS jouit d'une position unique grâce à son exposition à la fois à OpenAI et à World, deux plateformes qui contribuent à définir l'avenir de l'intelligence artificielle et l'infrastructure nécessaire à son développement », a poursuivi T. Lee.

Eightco : exposition aux grandes tendances

Eightco s'articule autour de trois grandes tendances qui, selon la Société, devraient façonner l'innovation sur la prochaine décennie : l'intelligence artificielle, l'identité numérique et l'économie des créateurs, avec des expositions à chacune de ces tendances via des investissements indirects dans OpenAI (23 % de la trésorerie d'ORBS), Worldcoin (28 %) et Beast Industries (5 %).

Intelligence artificielle – OpenAI

Eightco a investi environ 90 millions de dollars dans des entités ad hoc détenant des participations dans la société mère d'OpenAI, ce qui représente environ 23 % de ses actifs de trésorerie, soit l'une des plus fortes concentrations divulguées de toutes les structures cotées en bourse.

ChatGPT, l'application grand public d'OpenAI, est la première application d'IA grand public au monde (Sensor Tower). Elle a dépassé les 900 millions d'utilisateurs actifs hebdomadaires en février 2026, ce qui en fait la technologie grand public à la croissance la plus rapide de l'histoire (UBS via Reuters).

Identité numérique – Jeton WLD

Eightco détient plus de 283 millions de WLD, soit environ 8,1 % de l'offre en circulation, ce qui représente la plus importante position institutionnelle rendue publique à l'échelle mondiale et environ 28 % des actifs de la trésorerie d'Eightco.

Worldcoin est le jeton natif de World, un réseau mondial Proof of Human construit par Tools for Humanity (cofondée par Sam Altman et Alex Blania) et géré par la World Foundation. Ses appareils Orb émettent un identifiant World préservant la vie privée et permettant de vérifier que l'utilisateur est bien un être humain unique, et non un agent IA.

Dans le cadre du modèle commercial annoncé par World, les applications paient des frais de vérification alors que la vérification de l'utilisateur final est gratuite, les fournisseurs d'identifiants vérifiés et le protocole World générant des revenus à partir de l'authentification humaine vérifiée. World estime à 6,35 billions de dollars le potentiel de revenus adressables dans 13 secteurs, allant du secteur bancaire au commerce électronique, en passant par les jeux vidéo, les réseaux sociaux et l'IA agentique (selon Tools for Humanity).

Économie des créateurs – Beast Industries

Eightco a investi 18 millions de dollars en actions de Beast Industries, soit environ 5 % des actifs de la trésorerie.

Beast Industries exploite l'une des plus vastes présences directes auprès des consommateurs dans le monde, avec une base combinée de plus de 500 millions d'adeptes sur toutes les plateformes, MrBeast étant la personne la plus regardée sur YouTube dans le monde entier.

Bitmine, Sharplink und Joe Lubin finanzieren eine neue, eigens für die Markteinführung gegründete Organisation, die von ehemaligen Mitarbeitern der Ethereum Foundation aufgebaut wurde

, /PRNewswire/ -- Ethereum Institutional, eine unabhängige gemeinnützige Organisation, gab heute ihren öffentlichen Start als spezielle Anlaufstelle für institutionelle Anleger im Ethereum-Ökosystem bekannt. Die Organisation bündelt die Ergebnisse eines Jahres institutioneller Engagementarbeit, die vom Go-to-Market-Team der Ethereum Foundation geleitet wurde, und fasst diese in einer eigenständigen Organisation zusammen, die über ein klareres Leitbild, eine breitere geografische Reichweite und eine langfristige Finanzierung verfügt. Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BMNR), Sharplink, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBET) und der Mitbegründer von Ethereum, Joe Lubin, stehen an der Spitze der Finanzierungsrunde, zusammen mit Dutzenden von privaten und institutionellen Investoren.

Ethereum Institutional Ethereum Institutional wurde ins Leben gerufen, damit die weltweit größten Finanzinstitute bei ihren grundlegenden, langfristigen Plattformentscheidungen in Bezug auf Tokenisierung, Stablecoins und On-Chain-Marktinfrastruktur über einen glaubwürdigen, neutralen Partner mit Ethereum zusammenarbeiten können. Ethereum schreibt keine einheitliche, starre Konfiguration vor, sondern ermöglicht es Institutionen, den Ansatz zu wählen, der am besten zu ihrem jeweiligen Anwendungsfall passt, und dabei von der Sicherheit der weltweit robustesten und zuverlässigsten Abwicklungsschicht für digitale Vermögenswerte zu profitieren.

Diese Gründung ist bereits die zweite große unabhängige Verwaltungsorganisation für das Ethereum-Ökosystem, die in der vergangenen Woche vorgestellt wurde – nach der Ankündigung von Ethlabs, einem Forschungs- und Entwicklungslabor, das ebenfalls von ehemaligen Führungskräften der Ethereum Foundation gegründet wurde. Gemeinsam bilden Ethlabs und Ethereum Institutional die sich ergänzenden Säulen des nächsten Kapitels von Ethereum: Zum einen werden Innovationen auf Protokollebene und die Kerninfrastruktur vorangetrieben, zum anderen wird sichergestellt, dass Institutionen einen glaubwürdigen, engagierten Ansprechpartner an ihrer Seite haben, der sie von der Evaluierung bis hin zur groß angelegten Einführung begleitet. Ethereum Institutional bietet den weltweit größten Finanzinstituten Erfahrung im Ökosystem und unvoreingenommene Fachkompetenz.

Jetzt ist der richtige Zeitpunkt für die Einführung in institutionellen Kreisen. Auf dem Ethereum-Mainnet sind derzeit Stablecoins im Wert von rund 180 Milliarden US-Dollar im Umlauf, was etwa 60 % des gesamten Stablecoin-Angebots und rund zwei Dritteln aller tokenisierten realen Vermögenswerte entspricht. Führende Finanzinstitute aus den Bereichen Vermögensverwaltung, Bankwesen, Zahlungsverkehr, Verwahrung und Marktinfrastruktur bauen das Netzwerk aktiv aus. Unterdessen haben konkurrierende Ökosysteme die institutionelle Einführung zu ihrer ausdrücklichen geschäftlichen Priorität gemacht und betreiben jeweils gut finanzierte Organisationen zur Geschäftsentwicklung, deren ausdrücklicher Auftrag darin besteht, institutionelle Implementierungen zu realisieren.

Die Entscheidungen, die Institutionen in den nächsten 12 bis 24 Monaten hinsichtlich der Plattform treffen, werden die Topologie der On-Chain-Finanzwelt für Jahrzehnte bestimmen. Eine abgestimmte, glaubwürdige Vertretung sorgt nun für Einheit in der Diskussion und unterstützt den Ausbau des robusten Ethereum-Netzwerks, wovon sowohl bestehende als auch zukünftige Nutzer profitieren.

Ethereum Institutional startet mit einer bewährten Erfolgsbilanz und bereits bestehender Dynamik: Das Team hat über 500 institutionelle Beziehungen aufgebaut, die das gesamte Spektrum der Tier-1-Banken, führender Vermögensverwalter, staatlicher Institutionen, Depotbanken und Anbieter von Marktinfrastrukturen weltweit abdecken. Das Team hat im Rahmen des „Institutional Ethereum Forum" ein Treffen von Vordenkern ins Leben gerufen, an dem mehr als 150 Führungskräfte und Leiter der Bereiche für digitale Vermögenswerte aus Institutionen teilnahmen, die zusammen ein verwaltetes Vermögen von rund 250 Billionen US-Dollar repräsentieren.

Ethereum Institutional wird vom ersten Tag an in fünf Schwerpunktbereichen tätig sein: Institutionelle Bildung und Engagement, institutionelle Intelligenz, ETH- und Ökosystem-Marketing, Standards und Best Practices sowie institutionelle Veranstaltungen. Die geografische Abdeckung wird von New York, London, Hongkong und Singapur auf weitere wichtige Finanzzentren wie Zürich, Frankfurt, Tokio und Abu Dhabi ausgeweitet, wobei in jeder Region eigens dafür zuständige Ansprechpartner für institutionelle Kunden tätig sind, die unter einem gemeinsamen, glaubwürdig neutralen Mandat arbeiten.

Thomas „Tom" Lee, Vorsitzender von Bitmine: „Finanzinstitute treffen heute Infrastrukturentscheidungen, die die Kapitalmärkte über Jahrzehnte hinweg prägen werden, und Ethereum rückt dabei zunehmend in den Mittelpunkt dieser Gespräche. Ethereum Institutional kommt genau zum richtigen Zeitpunkt und schafft eine vertrauenswürdige, unabhängige Plattform, auf der institutionelle Akteure mit dem Ökosystem interagieren, Standards entwickeln und die Verbreitung vorantreiben können. Das ist ein wichtiger Schritt, um Ethereum zum Rückgrat der globalen Finanzinfrastruktur der nächsten Generation zu machen."

Joseph Chalom, Geschäftsführer von Sharplink. „Ich habe zwei Jahrzehnte lang die weltweit größten Institutionen bei der Einführung neuer Technologien unterstützt, und ich habe selten erlebt, dass die Rahmenbedingungen so günstig waren wie im Fall von Ethereum. Diese Institutionen gehen von bloßem Interesse zu konkreten Maßnahmen in den Bereichen Tokenisierung, Stablecoins und einer neuen Finanzmarktinfrastruktur über. Ethereum Institutional wurde entwickelt, um genau in diesem Moment auf diese Anforderungen einzugehen."

Joe Lubin, Mitbegründer von Ethereum und Vorstandsvorsitzender von Consensys. „Ethereum hat sich zur führenden Infrastruktur für dezentralisiertes, überprüfbares und programmierbares Vertrauen entwickelt. Seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt konzentrieren sich die Forscher, Entwickler und das gesamte Ökosystem darauf, die harte Arbeit zu leisten, ohne Abstriche zu machen: das Netzwerk skalierbarer, kostengünstiger und benutzerfreundlicher zu gestalten sowie durch eine schrittweise und konsequente Dezentralisierung die echte Netzneutralität und die Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Zensur zu gewährleisten. Aus diesem Grund ist es die erste und vorherrschende Wahl für den Großteil der Aktivitäten im Bereich der Stablecoins, tokenisierter Vermögenswerte, DeFi und anderer On-Chain-Finanzinfrastruktur. Die traditionelle Finanzwelt steigt bereits auf die dezentralen Strukturen von Ethereum um. Ethereum Institutional wird dazu beitragen, dieses nächste wichtige Kapitel voranzutreiben, indem es Institutionen den Einstieg in großem Maßstab ermöglicht und die Offenheit sowie die genehmigungsfreie Innovation fördert, die das Netzwerk so einzigartig leistungsfähig und wertvoll machen."

Abschließend sagte David Walsh, Geschäftsführer von Ethereum Institutional: „Die glaubwürdige Neutralität von Ethereum ist eine seiner größten Stärken, doch Neutralität ohne Vertretung kann oft als Schweigen wahrgenommen werden." Das Ethereum-Ökosystem braucht einen glaubwürdigen, unabhängigen Ansprechpartner, mit dem Institutionen direkt zusammenarbeiten können; jemanden, den Finanzverantwortliche anrufen, den sie ihrem Vorstand vorstellen und auf dessen ehrliche Antworten sie sich verlassen können. Ethereum Institutional wurde gegründet, um genau diese spezielle Rolle zu übernehmen. Unsere Aufgabe ist es, institutionelle Anforderungen in skalierbare Lösungen umzusetzen und Ethereum letztendlich zur grundlegenden Schicht für das institutionelle Finanzwesen zu machen."

Lee, Chalom und Walsh werden als Mitglieder des Verwaltungsrats fungieren.

Bitmine, Sharplink and Joe Lubin fund a new dedicated go-to-market organization built by Ethereum Foundation alumni

, /PRNewswire/ -- Ethereum Institutional, an independent non-profit organization, today announced its public launch as the dedicated institutional front door for the Ethereum ecosystem. The organization consolidates a year of institutional engagement work led by the Ethereum Foundation's go-to-market team, housing it in an independent organization with a sharper mission, broader geographic footprint and long-term funding. Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BMNR), Sharplink, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBET) and Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin are anchoring the funding, along with dozens of individual and institutional contributors.

Ethereum Institutional Ethereum Institutional exists so as the world's largest financial institutions make their foundational, long-lived platform decisions about tokenization, stablecoins and onchain market infrastructure, they engage Ethereum through a credible, neutral counterpart. Ethereum does not force a single rigid configuration, but lets institutions choose the approach that fits each use case, while deriving security from the world's most robust and reliable digital asset settlement layer.

This launch represents the second major independent steward organization for Ethereum's ecosystem unveiled in the last week, following the announcement of Ethlabs, a research and development lab also founded by former Ethereum Foundation leaders. Together, Ethlabs and Ethereum Institutional form complementary pillars of Ethereum's next chapter: one advancing protocol-layer innovation and core infrastructure, the other ensuring institutions have a credible, dedicated counterpart to guide them from evaluation through deployment at scale. Ethereum Institutional brings ecosystem experience and unbiased expertise to the world's largest financial institutions.

The institutional adoption moment is now. Ethereum currently hosts roughly $180 billion of stablecoins on mainnet, approximately 60% of total stablecoin supply and roughly two-thirds of all tokenized real-world assets. Leading financial institutions across asset management, banking, payments, custody and market infrastructure are actively building on the network. Meanwhile, competing ecosystems have made institutional adoption their explicit commercial priority, each running well-funded business development organizations with dedicated mandates to land institutional deployments.

The platform decisions institutions are making in the next 12-24 months will set the topology of onchain finance for decades. Coordinated, credible representation now unifies the conversation, and supports expanding Ethereum's robust network, which benefits its existing and future users.

Ethereum Institutional launches with a proven track record and existing momentum: the team has built over 500 institutional relationships covering the global universe of Tier-1 banks, top-tier asset managers, sovereign institutions, custodians and market infrastructure providers. The team has established a thought leader gathering through the Institutional Ethereum Forum, which brought together more than 150 senior executives and Heads of Digital Assets from institutions representing roughly $250 trillion in combined assets under management.

Ethereum Institutional will operate along five focus areas from day one: Institutional Education and Engagement, Institutional Intelligence, ETH and Ecosystem Marketing, Standards and Best Practices and Institutional Events. Geographic coverage will expand from New York, London, Hong Kong, and Singapore into additional primary financial centers including Zurich, Frankfurt, Tokyo and Abu Dhabi, with dedicated institutional leads embedded in each region operating under a shared credibly neutral mandate.

Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine. "Financial institutions are making infrastructure decisions today that will shape capital markets for decades, and Ethereum is increasingly at the center of those conversations. Ethereum Institutional arrives at exactly the right moment, creating a trusted, independent home where institutions can engage with the ecosystem, develop standards and accelerate adoption. It's an important step toward making Ethereum the backbone of the next generation of global financial infrastructure."

Joseph Chalom, Chief Executive Officer of Sharplink. "I spent two decades helping the world's largest institutions adopt new technology, and I have rarely seen the conditions align the way they have for Ethereum. These institutions are moving from interest to action across tokenization, stablecoins and a new financial market infrastructure. Ethereum Institutional was built to meet them at exactly this moment."

Joe Lubin, Ethereum co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Consensys. "Ethereum has become the premier infrastructure for decentralized, verifiable, programmable trust. For more than a decade, the researchers, developers and ecosystem have focused on doing the hard work without cutting corners: making the network more scalable, more affordable, more usable, and protecting credible neutrality and censorship resistance via progressive rigorous decentralization. This is why it has been the first and prevailing choice for the majority of stablecoin activity, tokenized assets, DeFi and other onchain financial infrastructure. Traditional finance is already onboarding itself to Ethereum's decentralized rails. Ethereum Institutional will help accelerate this next major chapter, enabling institutions to engage at scale, promoting the openness and permissionless innovation that make the network uniquely powerful and valuable."

Concluding, David Walsh, Executive Director of Ethereum Institutional, said, "Ethereum's credible neutrality is one of its greatest strengths, but neutrality without representation can often be seen as silence. The Ethereum ecosystem needs a credible, independent counterpart institutions can engage with directly; someone financial leaders can call, brief their board with, and trust to come back with honest answers. Ethereum Institutional exists to be this dedicated counterpart. Our job is to translate institutional requirements into deployments that scale, and ultimately to make Ethereum the foundational layer for institutional finance."

Lee, Chalom and Walsh will serve as the members of the Board of Directors.

Bitmine Weekly Update

STAKING: BMNR now staking over 4.8 million ETH

ALCHEMY of 5%: BMNR ranked #240 by 5D avg daily $ volume

As of June 28, 2026 at 3:00pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 5,700,040 ETH at $1,569 per ETH, 206 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $74 million stake in Eightco Holdings ("moonshots") and total cash & marketable securities of $555 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 4.7% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

"The future roadmap for crypto remains positive as the dual drivers of Wall Street modernizing its legacy infrastructure on crypto rails and the future of agentic-AI payment systems on crypto rails remain intact. Bitmine remains focused on the longer-term horizon and continues to manage the company to be positively positioned for these exponential drivers," stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

"This past week was a challenging one for crypto investors as ETH fell by 8%, even as Ethereum witnessed notable positive developments such as the creation of Ethlabs, and even the Bank of England softened its stance around stablecoins. We are nearing quarter-end for June, and it is not surprising to see 'window dressing' leading to investors reducing their holdings in assets which have fallen in the past 3 months," stated Lee.

On June 26, Bitmine was added to the Russell 1000 Large-cap Index, in conjunction with the annual reconstitution of this index. The Investment Company Institute, or ICI, estimates that passive investment funds and ETFs typically represent 18-20% of the shares of a company.

"Being added to the Russell 1000 is expected to add hundreds and possibly thousands of additional institutional investors as equity owners of Bitmine," continued Lee.

On June 10, Bitmine closed its offering (the "offering") registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 3,500,000 shares of 9.50% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), at a public offering price of $80.00 per share.
The Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $273.8 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the Company's estimated offering expenses. The Series A Preferred Stock is trading on the NYSE under the symbol BMNP. The dividends for BMNP are scheduled to be paid weekly, subject to the terms of the applicable Certificate of Designations.

On June 11, 2026, Bitmine was named to the Fortune 100 Crypto List (link here). Fortune published this definitive ranking of the most influential companies in blockchain and draws on rigorous data analysis by Inca Digital and a survey of leading crypto experts, according Fortune Magazine.

On May 11, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman's Message (link here) for May 2026.

"Over the past week, we acquired 27,084 ETH. We continue to maintain a steady pace of accumulation throughout 2026. We believe we are in the early stages of crypto spring. Bitmine is expected to reach the 'alchemy of 5%' sometime in 2026," stated Lee.

Bitmine recently launched MAVAN (the Made in American VAlidator Network), the institutional grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine's own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN intends to expand to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine's ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.

As of June 28, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 4,879,157 ($7.7 billion at $1,569 per ETH). "Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine's ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $246 million on an annualized basis (using 2.75% 7-day BMNR yield)," stated Lee.

"Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $211 million. And this 4.9 million ETH is over 85% of the 5.7 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine's own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.75% (annualized)," continued Lee.

Bitmine's crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc., which reportedly owns 847,363 BTC valued at $50 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $643 million (5-day average, as of June 26, 2026), ranking #240 in the US, behind Monster Beverages (rank #239) and ahead of Oklo (rank #241) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

Bitmine management believes the GENIUS Act and Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.

ORBS Holdings & Key Metrics

The ORBS Portfolio Thesis

Al 24 giugno 2026, alle ore 18:00. ET, ORBS detiene partecipazioni che includono un investimento di 90 milioni di dollari (indirettamente, tramite società veicolo) in OpenAI, un investimento di 18 milioni di dollari in Beast Industries, un investimento di 1 milione di dollari in Mythical Games, 283.452.700 Worldcoin (WLD) a 0,54 dollari per WLD (secondo Coinbase), 16.278 Ethereum (ETH) e un totale di circa 149 milioni di dollari in contanti e stablecoin, per un valore complessivo delle partecipazioni pari a circa 436 milioni di dollari.

Le principali notizie in testa all'informazione:

Il management di ORBS ritiene che il portafoglio di tesoreria della Società contenga alcuni degli elementi più cruciali per il futuro dell'intelligenza artificiale e del sistema finanziario digitale. Tra le partecipazioni, i punti salienti delle ultime settimane sono:

Al Cannes Lions, OpenAI ha presentato i suoi piani per rendere la pubblicità un'importante fonte di reddito. La società ha dichiarato che quasi il 20% delle query su ChatGPT riguarda un intento commerciale diretto con viaggi, commercio al dettaglio, salute e bellezza e servizi finanziari, che risultano essere le categorie con le migliori performance finora (Yahoo). Il 23 giugno, il token Worldcoin è stato reso disponibile per la negoziazione sulla piattaforma di criptovalute di Robinhood (X.com), che, al momento, serve 28 milioni di clienti. Il 23 giugno, Forbes ha classificato MrBeast al 1° posto nella sua lista dei migliori creator del 2026, riconoscendo la rapida crescita di Beast Industries, la sua valutazione stimata di 5 miliardi di dollari e la sua espansione in nuovi mercati, comprese le soluzioni di finanza personale per adolescenti (Forbes). Il 24 giugno, OpenAI e Broadcom hanno presentato Jalapeño, il primo processore IA di OpenAI, compiendo un passo importante nel loro impegno plurigenerazionale teso a realizzare un'infrastruttura di nuova generazione per l'IA avanzata (OpenAI). "Continuiamo a rilevare sviluppi positivi in ciascun investimento strategico chiave di ORBS", ha dichiarato Thomas "Tom" Lee, membro del Consiglio di Amministrazione di Eightco. Per noi, il fatto che Worldcoin sia quotato su Robinhood Crypto, e sia ora disponibile per la negoziazione da parte dei 28 milioni di clienti di HOOD, è una conferma della strategia di World. Secondo noi, la maggiore liquidità attesa di WLD accresce l'utilità del token WLD stesso. MrBeast rimane impareggiabile come il creator più influente al mondo, e crediamo che ciò continui a consolidare l'intera offerta di Beast Industries.

"Inoltre, crediamo che la solida performance dell'IPO di SpaceX faccia ben sperare per il tanto atteso IPO di OpenAI", ha dichiarato Thomas "Tom" Lee.

Eightco: esposizione ai principali megatrend

Eightco si fonda su tre megatrend che, secondo le previsioni dell'Azienda, plasmeranno il prossimo decennio dell'innovazione: intelligenza artificiale, identità digitale ed economia dei creator, con posizioni in ciascuno di essi attraverso investimenti indiretti in OpenAI (21% delle partecipazioni in portafoglio di ORBS), Worldcoin (35%) e Beast Industries (4%).

Intelligenza artificiale: OpenAI

Eightco ha investito circa 90 milioni di dollari in veicoli a scopo speciale con esposizione a partecipazioni azionarie nella società madre di OpenAI, pari a circa il 21% delle attività di tesoreria, una delle concentrazioni più elevate tra tutti i veicoli quotati.

ChatGPT, l'app consumer di OpenAI, è diventata l'app consumer di intelligenza artificiale numero uno al mondo (Sensor Tower) e nel febbraio 2026 ha superato i 900 milioni di utenti attivi settimanali, diventando così la tecnologia consumer con la crescita più rapida della storia (UBS via Reuters).

Identità digitale: Token WLD

Eightco detiene oltre 283 milioni di WLD, pari a circa l'8,2% della fornitura circolante, la maggiore posizione istituzionale resa pubblica a livello globale e che costituisce circa il 35% degli asset di tesoreria di Eightco.

Worldcoin è il token nativo di World, una rete globale di 'Proof of Human' creata da Tools for Humanity (cofondata da Sam Altman e Alex Blania) e gestita dalla World Foundation. I dispositivi Orb rilasciano un World ID che tutela la privacy e verifica che l'utente sia una persona fisica e non un agente AI.

In base al modello di business annunciato da World, le applicazioni pagano commissioni per ogni verifica, mentre la verifica degli utenti finali rimane gratuita, con sia gli emittenti di credenziali che il protocollo World che monetizzano l'autenticazione degli utenti verificati. World individua un'opportunità di fatturato potenziale complessiva pari a 6,35 trilioni di dollari in 13 settori, tra cui quello bancario, l'e-commerce, il gaming, i social media e l'IA agentica (secondo Tools for Humanity).

Economia dei creatori — Beast Industries

Eightco ha investito 18 milioni di dollari nel capitale azionario di Beast Industries, pari a circa il 4% delle attività di tesoreria.

Beast Industries vanta una delle più ampie reti di distribuzione diretta al consumatore al mondo, con oltre 500 milioni di follower complessivi su tutte le piattaforme, grazie soprattutto a MrBeast, la persona più seguita su YouTube a livello globale. Man mano che l'IA trasforma la creazione di contenuti in un bene standardizzato, la distribuzione e la fiducia del pubblico diventano risorse sempre più scarse.

ORBS Holdings & Key Metrics

The ORBS Portfolio Thesis

As of June 24, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. ET, ORBS' holdings include a $90 million investment (indirectly, through SPVs) in OpenAI, an $18 million funded investment in Beast Industries, a $1 million investment in Mythical Games, 283,452,700 Worldcoin (WLD) at $0.54 per WLD (per Coinbase), 16,278 Ethereum (ETH), and approximately $149 million in total cash and stablecoins, for total holdings of approximately $436 million.

Top Headlines Driving the News:

ORBS management believes the Company's treasury portfolio holds some of the most critical components for the future AI and digital financial system. Among the holdings, key highlights in recent weeks are:

At Cannes Lions, OpenAI highlighted its plans to develop advertising into a significant revenue stream. The company said that nearly 20% of ChatGPT queries carry direct commercial intent, with travel, retail, health and beauty, and financial services emerging as the strongest-performing categories to date (Yahoo). On June 23, Worldcoin token became available to trade on Robinhood's crypto platform (X.com) which currently serves 28 million customers. On June 23, Forbes ranked MrBeast as the #1 creator on its 2026 Top Creators List, recognizing the rapid growth of Beast Industries, its reported $5 billion valuation, and its expansion into new markets, including personal finance solutions for teens (Forbes). On June 24, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI's first AI processor, marking a major step in their multi-generation effort to build next-generation infrastructure for advanced AI (OpenAI). "We continue to see positive developments across each of ORBS' core strategic investments," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Board Member of Eightco. "To us, we see a validation of World's strategy as Worldcoin is listed on Robinhood crypto and now available to trade for HOOD's 28 million customers. The expected expanded liquidity of WLD improves the utility of WLD token itself in our view. MrBeast remains unmatched as the world's most influential creator and we believe this continues to strengthen all of the offerings of Beast Industries."

"We also believe the strong performance of the SpaceX IPO bodes well for the highly anticipated OpenAI IPO," said Thomas "Tom" Lee.

Eightco: Exposure to key mega-trends

Eightco is built around three mega-trends the Company expects to shape the next decade of innovation: artificial intelligence, digital identity, and the creator economy, with positions in each trend through indirect investment in OpenAI (21% of ORBS' treasury holdings), Worldcoin (35%), and Beast Industries (4%).

Artificial Intelligence — OpenAI

Eightco has invested approximately $90 million in special purpose vehicles with exposure to equity interests in the parent company of OpenAI, representing approximately 21% of treasury assets, one of the highest disclosed concentrations of any listed vehicle.

ChatGPT, OpenAI's consumer app, is the #1 consumer AI app worldwide (Sensor Tower) and crossed 900 million weekly active users in February 2026, making it the fastest-scaling consumer technology in history (UBS via Reuters).

Digital Identity — WLD Token

Eightco holds over 283 million WLD, approximately 8.2% of circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally and approximately 35% of the Eightco treasury's assets.

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 the World Foundation. Its Orb devices issue a privacy-preserving World ID that verifies a user is a unique human, not an AI agent.

Under World's announced business model, applications pay per-verification fees while end-user verification remains free, with both credential issuers and the World protocol monetizing verified-human authentication. World identifies a $6.35 trillion combined addressable revenue opportunity across 13 industries spanning banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media, and agentic AI (per Tools for Humanity).

Creator Economy — Beast Industries

Eightco has invested $18 million in Beast Industries equity, approximately 4% of treasury assets.

Beast Industries operates one of the largest direct-to-consumer reach footprints in the world, with a combined 500 million-plus follower base across platforms, anchored by MrBeast as the most-watched person on YouTube globally. As AI commoditizes content production, distribution and audience trust become increasingly scarce assets.

About Eightco Holdings Inc.

Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) is a publicly traded company executing a first-of-its-kind Worldcoin (WLD) treasury strategy, providing investors single-ticker indirect exposure to three of the defining trends of this cycle: artificial intelligence through its indirect investment in OpenAI, digital identity through its position as the largest public holder of WLD and the Proof of Human protocol, and the creator economy through its equity stake in MrBeast's Beast Industries. Backed by leading institutional investors including Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE: BMNR), MOZAYYX, World Foundation, CoinFund, Discovery Capital Management, FalconX, Payward/Kraken, Pantera, and GSR, Eightco is building the infrastructure layer for human verification in the agentic AI era.

World identifies a $6.35 trillion combined addressable revenue opportunity across 13 industries spanning banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media, and agentic AI (per Tools for Humanity).

Creator Economy — Beast Industries

Eightco has invested $18 million in Beast Industries equity, approximately 4% of treasury assets.

Beast Industries operates one of the largest direct-to-consumer reach footprints in the world, with a combined 500 million-plus follower base across platforms, anchored by MrBeast as the most-watched person on YouTube globally. As AI commoditizes content production, distribution and audience trust become increasingly scarce assets.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("Eightco" o la "compañía") proporcionó hoy una actualización sobre sus participaciones totales, destacando su creciente posición en activos digitales e inversiones estratégicas en empresas tecnológicas privadas líderes.

A fecha de 17 de junio de 2026 a las 7:30 p.m. ET, las tenencias de ORBS incluyen una inversión de 90 millones de dólares (indirectamente, a través de SPV) en OpenAI, una inversión financiada de 18 millones de dólares en Beast Industries, una inversión de 1 millón de dólares en Mythical Games, 283.452.700 Worldcoin (WLD) a 0,66 dólares por WLD (según Coinbase), 16.278 Ethereum (ETH) y aproximadamente 149 millones de dólares en efectivo y stablecoins, para un total de tenencias de aproximadamente 472 millones de dólares.

Principales titulares que marcan la pauta informativa:

La dirección de ORBS considera que la cartera de tesorería de la compañía contiene algunos de los componentes más importantes para el futuro de la IA y del sistema financiero digital. Entre las participaciones, los aspectos más destacados de las últimas semanas son:

Recientemente, SpaceX anunció la adquisición de Cursor por 60.000 millones de dólares para fortalecer sus capacidades de software y programación de IA a través de su división de IA. Cursor es una de las plataformas de programación de IA de más rápido crecimiento y se ha convertido en un importante producto de IA empresarial. Esta adquisición sigue reforzando el interés de los inversores por la infraestructura de IA y el software de productividad (Reuters). Esta semana, MrBeast batió otro récord al alcanzar los 500 millones de suscriptores en YouTube, convirtiéndose en el primer creador en lograr este hito (TheWrap). "La salida a bolsa de las empresas de IA es un avance positivo para todo el sector. A medida que los inversores obtienen mayor exposición a los líderes de IA, el interés suele expandirse por todo el ecosistema, creando mayor visibilidad y oportunidades para empresas como ORBS", explicó Thomas "Tom" Lee, miembro de la junta directiva de Eightco.

Eightco: Exposición a las principales megatendencias

Eightco se estructura en torno a tres megatendencias que la compañía prevé que darán forma a la próxima década de innovación: la inteligencia artificial, la identidad digital y la economía de los creadores, con posiciones en cada tendencia a través de inversiones indirectas en OpenAI (19% de las tenencias de tesorería de ORBS), Worldcoin (39%) y Beast Industries (4%).

Inteligencia artificial — OpenAI

Eightco ha invertido aproximadamente 90 millones de dólares en vehículos de propósito especial con exposición a participaciones accionariales en la empresa matriz de OpenAI, lo que representa aproximadamente el 19% de los activos propios, una de las concentraciones más altas divulgadas de cualquier vehículo cotizado.

ChatGPT, la aplicación para consumidores de OpenAI, es la aplicación de IA para consumidores número 1 en todo el mundo (Sensor Tower) y superó los 900 millones de usuarios activos semanales en febrero de 2026, lo que la convierte en la tecnología de consumo de más rápido crecimiento de la historia (UBS via Reuters).

Identidad digital — WLD Token

Eightco posee más de 283 millones de WLD, aproximadamente el 8,3% de la oferta circulante, la mayor posición institucional divulgada públicamente a nivel mundial y aproximadamente el 39% de los activos de la tesorería de Eightco.

Worldcoin es el token nativo de World, una red global de Prueba de Humanidad creada por Tools for Humanity (cofundada por Sam Altman y Alex Blania) y administrada por la Fundación World. Sus dispositivos Orb emiten una identificación World ID que preserva la privacidad y verifica que un usuario es un ser humano único, no un agente de IA.

Según el modelo de negocio anunciado por World, las aplicaciones pagan una tarifa por cada verificación, mientras que la verificación del usuario final sigue siendo gratuita. Tanto los emisores de credenciales como el protocolo World monetizan la autenticación humana verificada. World identifica una oportunidad de ingresos potenciales combinados de 6,35 billones de dólares en 13 sectores, que abarcan la banca, el comercio electrónico, los videojuegos, las redes sociales y la IA con agentes (según Tools for Humanity).

Creator Economy — Beast Industries

Eightco ha invertido 18 millones de dólares en acciones de Beast Industries, lo que representa aproximadamente el 4% de sus activos propios.

Beast Industries cuenta con una de las mayores redes de venta directa al consumidor del mundo, con una base de seguidores combinada de más de 500 millones en diversas plataformas, liderada por MrBeast, la persona más vista en YouTube a nivel global. A medida que la IA convierte la producción de contenido en un bien de consumo, la distribución y la confianza de la audiencia se convierten en activos cada vez más escasos.

Acerca de Eightco Holdings Inc.

Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) es una empresa que cotiza en bolsa y que está implementando una estrategia de tesorería de Worldcoin (WLD) pionera en su tipo, brindando a los inversores una exposición indirecta, a través de un solo símbolo, a tres de las tendencias que definen este ciclo: la inteligencia artificial mediante su inversión indirecta en OpenAI, la identidad digital a través de su posición como el mayor poseedor público de WLD y del protocolo Proof of Human, y la economía de los creadores a través de su participación accionaria en Beast Industries de MrBeast. Respaldada por inversores institucionales líderes como Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE: BMNR), MOZAYYX, World Foundation, CoinFund, Discovery Capital Management, FalconX, Payward/Kraken, Pantera y GSR, Eightco está construyendo la capa de infraestructura para la verificación humana en la era de la IA con agentes.

Eightco offre un'esposizione indiretta ad alcune delle società private più innovative, tra cui OpenAI e Beast Industries

, /PRNewswire/ -- Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("Eightco" o "la Società") ha fornito oggi un aggiornamento sulle proprie partecipazioni complessive, evidenziando la crescente presenza nel settore degli asset digitali e degli investimenti strategici in aziende tecnologiche private leader.

Al 17 giugno 2026, alle ore 19:30. ET, ORBS detiene partecipazioni che includono un investimento di 90 milioni di dollari (indirettamente, tramite società veicolo) in OpenAI, un investimento di 18 milioni di dollari in Beast Industries, un investimento di 1 milione di dollari in Mythical Games, 283.452.700 Worldcoin (WLD) a 0,66 dollari per WLD (secondo Coinbase), 16.278 Ethereum (ETH) e un totale di circa 149 milioni di dollari in contanti e stablecoin, per un valore complessivo delle partecipazioni pari a circa 472 milioni di dollari.

Le principali notizie in testa all'informazione:

Il management di ORBS ritiene che il portafoglio di tesoreria della Società contenga alcuni degli elementi più cruciali per il futuro dell'intelligenza artificiale e del sistema finanziario digitale. Tra le partecipazioni, i punti salienti delle ultime settimane sono:

Recentemente, SpaceX ha annunciato l'acquisizione di Cursor per 60 miliardi di dollari, al fine di rafforzare le proprie capacità nel campo del software di IA e della programmazione attraverso la propria divisione dedicata all'IA. Cursor è una delle piattaforme di programmazione per l'IA in più rapida crescita ed è diventata un importante prodotto di IA per le imprese. Questa acquisizione continua a rafforzare l'interesse degli investitori per le infrastrutture di IA e i software di produttività (Reuters). Questa settimana, MrBeast ha battuto un altro record raggiungendo i 500 milioni di iscritti su YouTube, diventando il primo creator a raggiungere questo traguardo (TheWrap). "La quotazione in borsa delle aziende specializzate in IA rappresenta uno sviluppo positivo per l'intero settore. Man mano che gli investitori acquisiscono maggiore esposizione nei confronti dei leader del settore dell'IA, l'interesse spesso si estende all'intero ecosistema, creando maggiore visibilità e opportunità per aziende come ORBS", ha affermato Thomas "Tom" Lee, membro del consiglio di amministrazione di Eightco.

Eightco: esposizione ai principali megatrend

Eightco si fonda su tre megatrend che, secondo le previsioni dell'Azienda, plasmeranno il prossimo decennio dell'innovazione: IA, identità digitale ed economia dei creator, con posizioni in ciascuno di essi attraverso investimenti indiretti in OpenAI (19% delle partecipazioni in portafoglio di ORBS), Worldcoin (39%) e Beast Industries (4%).

Intelligenza artificiale: OpenAI

Eightco ha investito circa 90 milioni di dollari in veicoli a scopo speciale con esposizione a partecipazioni azionarie nella società madre di OpenAI, pari a circa il 19% delle attività di tesoreria, una delle concentrazioni più elevate tra tutti i veicoli quotati.

ChatGPT, l'app di OpenAI destinata al grande pubblico, è diventata l'app di IA per consumatori numero uno al mondo (Sensor Tower) e nel febbraio 2026 ha superato i 900 milioni di utenti attivi settimanali, diventando così la tecnologia consumer con la crescita più rapida della storia (UBS via Reuters).

Identità digitale: Token WLD

Eightco detiene oltre 283 milioni di WLD, pari a circa l'8,3% della fornitura circolante, la maggiore posizione istituzionale resa pubblica a livello globale e che costituisce circa il 39% degli asset di tesoreria di Eightco.

Worldcoin è il token nativo di World, una rete globale di 'Proof of Human' creata da Tools for Humanity (cofondata da Sam Altman e Alex Blania) e gestita dalla World Foundation. I dispositivi Orb rilasciano un World ID che tutela la privacy e verifica che l'utente sia una persona fisica e non un agente AI.

In base al modello di business annunciato da World, le applicazioni pagano commissioni per ogni verifica, mentre la verifica dell'utente finale rimane gratuita; sia gli emittenti di credenziali che il protocollo World traggono profitto dall'autenticazione di utenti umani verificati. World individua un'opportunità di fatturato potenziale complessiva pari a 6,35 trilioni di dollari in 13 settori, tra cui quello bancario, l'e-commerce, i giochi, i social media e l'IA agentica (secondo Tools for Humanity).

Economia dei creator: Beast Industries

Eightco ha investito 18 milioni di dollari nel capitale azionario di Beast Industries, pari a circa il 4% delle attività di tesoreria.

Beast Industries vanta una delle più ampie reti di distribuzione diretta al consumatore al mondo, con una base complessiva di oltre 500 milioni di follower su tutte le piattaforme, grazie soprattutto a MrBeast, la persona più seguita su YouTube a livello globale. Man mano che l'IA trasforma la creazione di contenuti in un bene standardizzato, la distribuzione e la fiducia del pubblico diventano risorse sempre più scarse.

New nonprofit research and development lab brings together a group of senior technical contributors from the Ethereum Foundation to ready the network for step-function wave of adoption from institutions, agentic finance and DeFi

Ethlabs to reinforce foundational commitments to credible neutrality, censorship resistance and security

, /PRNewswire/ -- A coordinated group of Ethereum ecosystem stewards today announced the launch of Ethlabs, an independent, nonprofit research and development organization formed to ready Ethereum for the next phase of institutional adoption. The funding effort is led by Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BMNR), Sharplink, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBET), Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin and other key Ethereum ecosystem contributors including Anchorage, Octant and SNZ.

As stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, funds and autonomous AI commerce move onchain, they are converging on Ethereum as the neutral, credibly permissionless settlement layer for the global economy. Ethlabs exists to ensure the network is ready to absorb that demand at scale, advancing a faster Ethereum with trustworthy interoperability, so institutions building on Ethereum can do so with the neutrality, resilience, privacy and security they require.

Cofounded by five former senior Ethereum Foundation researchers: Ansgar Dietrichs, Barnabé Monnot, Caspar Schwarz-Schilling, Josh Rudolf and Julian Ma, Ethlabs brings together researchers responsible for key contributions to finality, scaling, data availability, the virtual machine and protocol economics — the technologists who have guided the network through its most consequential upgrades over the past decade. This initiative gives that work a dedicated institutional home with stable, long-term funding.

The launch reflects a natural evolution of the Ethereum ecosystem. As the Ethereum Foundation refocuses on its core mandate and embraces a multi-node future, Ethlabs emerges as one of several independent organizations advancing the network in parallel. Ethlabs' early work will center on what institutions need to move onchain at scale: faster settlement, native issuance and cross-chain movement on robust infrastructure, capacity on mainnet and research that grounds ETH's monetary properties.

Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine. "We believe Ethereum is positioned to grow significantly in adoption by institutions and by AI agents. And naturally, the ecosystem needs to dramatically expand its investment in talent and research to support this growth. The formation of Ethlabs demonstrates that key stakeholders are stepping up to help ensure Ethereum remains a leading platform for decentralized finance. We believe positive momentum is building in the digital asset ecosystem, and initiatives like this strengthen the foundation of the ecosystem as the community works together to advance Ethereum's next chapter. As a significant institutional participant in the Ethereum ecosystem, Bitmine is excited to help serve as a steward of Ethereum's long-term growth and support the dedicated builders, researchers and innovators who are helping shape its future."

Joseph Chalom, Chief Executive Officer of Sharplink. "We are at the beginning of an institutional supercycle on Ethereum, and the researchers behind this organization are the people who will make the network ready to carry it. They have quietly shaped Ethereum for the better part of a decade, and giving their work a stable, independent home is one of the most meaningful contributions we can make to the ecosystem. We hold ETH because we believe in what this network is becoming, and supporting the people advancing it at the protocol level is the clearest way we know to back that conviction. This is what responsible stewardship looks like: using our position to drive the next wave of institutional adoption and to strengthen the foundation the entire onchain economy will be built on. Sharplink is proud to help bring Ethlabs to life, alongside our ecosystem partners."

Joe Lubin, Ethereum co-founder and founder and Chief Executive Officer of Consensys. "Ethereum is entering its next stage of evolution. We are now poised to recognize and implement the idea that there should be a number of steward nodes of Ethereum, each configured in their unique way to evolve and protect what is sacred about the network and massively grow the world's appreciation and utilization of it. With support from the Sharplink, Bitmine and many others, Ethlabs is the latest group of EF origin that is externalizing to become a major node of the network of "Responsible Institutions and Stewards of Ethereum". By providing a long-term, independent home to researchers and developers advancing Ethereum's core technology and values, Ethlabs will be instrumental in preparing the network for the next major wave of adoption, from institutional finance to agentic commerce, with the scale, security, interoperability and resilience that global institutions require. Today and going forward the Ethereum ecosystem will be further decentralized, enormously stronger with each steward more focused and empowered."

Ansgar Dietrichs, Executive Director of Ethlabs. "Ethereum is at a pivotal moment. A decade of uninterrupted operation and a track record of credible neutrality have earned it the trust of users and institutions around the world. As blockchain systems move rapidly into mainstream use, the coming years will define the shape of the onchain economy for decades. Ethereum is uniquely positioned to become the shared base layer of that economy, the neutral foundation the broader onchain ecosystem is built on, where users, institutions, and agents can transact and interoperate without intermediation. Ethlabs was created to help Ethereum realize that potential. As longtime contributors to the core protocol, we are establishing an independent non-profit organization to advance Ethereum's core technology and the shared standards and infrastructure builders depend on, and we are excited to carry forward that work at the moment it matters most."

The funding effort has been organized to preserve Ethlabs independence at every level. Contributions flow through an independent grants administrator that handles screening, valuation and disbursement. Funders provide accountability through transparent quarterly reporting and an independent annual audit, rather than influence over the research agenda. Final decisions on research priorities and technical direction will rest with Ethlabs leadership.

BitMine Immersion Technologies NYSE: BMNR is deliberately weaponizing capital structure. Retail and institutional investors watched BitMine Immersion contract 15% from late-May highs, sending it down to $16 and below a $21.67 calculated book value. Surface-level market mechanics point to an obvious culprit behind the price action.

BitMine recently priced and listed a massive preferred stock offering, creating an immediate yield liability that triggered an algorithmic repricing of its common shares. Look beneath the immediate volatility, and a completely different narrative emerges.

Get BMNR alerts:

BitMine is executing a relentless accumulation strategy branded as the Alchemy of 5%, an explicit mandate to corner 5% of the total global Ethereum supply.

Refining a Mispriced Capital StructureManagement recently finalized the purchase of an additional 76,881 tokens, bringing the BitMine Immersion Technologies treasury to 5.62 million Ethereum (ETH). Total treasury assets, blending digital holdings with cash and marketable securities, now sit at $10.4 billion against a market capitalization of $9 billion. The market is drastically mispricing this transition. Wall Street continues to value BitMine as a passive tracker fund burdened by a newly issued dividend, entirely missing the internal cash flows that are transforming it into foundational, self-funding blockchain infrastructure.

Liquid Gold: Engineering Perpetual YieldUnderstanding the current pricing dislocation requires a hard look at the newly minted 9.50% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock. The issuance raised $273.8 million, earmarked for accelerating the token-acquisition mandate at BitMine Immersion Technologies. The board officially declared the initial cash dividends on these preferred shares, thereby cementing a fixed cost of capital into BitMine's financial profile.

Traditional financial models view a 9.50% perpetual yield drag as highly dilutive to common shareholders, especially when the underlying asset is non-productive gold or heavily regulated fiat. Retail investors see the dividend liability and sell their BitMine shares. Institutional bears short BitMine to arbitrage the yield against spot token prices.

Both groups fundamentally misunderstand the mechanics of modern digital treasuries. The Ethereum network operates on a Proof-of-Stake consensus model, meaning token holders can actively deploy assets to secure the network in exchange for programmatic yield.

Through the proprietary Made in America VAlidator Network, BitMine currently has 4.71 million tokens actively staked. This active deployment generates an estimated $289 million in annualized staking revenues. Because the underlying protocol burns base transaction fees, the supply of Ethereum structurally deflates during periods of high on-chain activity. BitMine captures both the programmatic staking yield and the asset's mathematical scarcity.

The internal cash flow generated by the underlying assets fully offsets the dividend requirement of the Series A Preferred stock. BitMine essentially secured $273.8 million in zero-net-cost leverage to continue sweeping the spot market. Internal capital formation services the debt and compounds the token acquisitions, rendering the conventional bearish thesis mathematically flawed.

Fool's Gold: The Bear Trap at Book ValueThe misunderstanding of these yield dynamics created a precarious setup for short sellers. Short interest recently spiked to 26.53 million shares, representing roughly 4.67% of the total float. Retail and institutional bears are attempting to squeeze a profit out of the perceived dividend drag, shorting BitMine Immersion Technologies while waiting for the net asset value premium to collapse. Attempting to short an asset that operates as a highly liquid derivative of a volatile digital ecosystem carries immense structural risk.

BitMine routinely transacts over $550 million in daily dollar volume, securing a rank among the top 200 most actively traded U.S. equities. Sustained liquidity at this tier mandates inclusion in mid-cap and broad-market indices. Passive index funds and crypto-adjacent exchange-traded funds face a mechanical requirement to accumulate BitMine to meet market-cap-weighting requirements. This forced institutional indexing collides directly with entrenched institutional support. Heavy volume ownership remains steady among major players like Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group, Weiss Asset Management, and Galaxy Digital. Cathie Wood's ARKK fund recently trimmed its allocation following a localized net asset value spike, but this reflects standard portfolio rebalancing rather than an outright exit from BitMine.

Meanwhile, Chairman Thomas Lee and other insiders maintain continuous open-market acquisition schedules, systematically utilizing capital from BitMine during spot price pullbacks. If the underlying digital asset experiences a sudden upward revaluation, the algorithmic buying pressure from passive index funds will force short sellers to simultaneously cover their 26.53 million shares. The convergence of forced indexing, continuous spot acquisitions, and a self-funding treasury creates a textbook powder keg at the current $16.20 price level.

Heavy Metallurgy: Venturing Outside EthereumThe broader investment community mistakenly categorizes BitMine Immersion Technologies purely as a passive proxy adapted for a different blockchain network. The balance sheet leverage extends far beyond pure digital asset accumulation, positioning BitMine as an active, diversified holding entity that bridges traditional finance and generative artificial intelligence (AI). BitMine recently co-led a $125 million institutional commitment into Eightco Holdings NASDAQ: ORBS alongside ARK Invest. Eightco Holdings specializes in enterprise artificial intelligence, providing a logical physical infrastructure overlap with BitMine's legacy cooling hardware.

BitMine also maintains a $200 million private stake in Beast Industries, securing asymmetrical upside in emerging digital media ecosystems. These venture allocations represent highly strategic deployments of excess treasury liquidity, building out a diversified technology portfolio that purely passive tracker funds simply cannot replicate.

The Made in America VAlidator Network platform highlights the most critical infrastructure pivot. The network scaled far beyond internal corporate staking requirements and is actively positioning itself as a premier institutional staking destination. By opening validator infrastructure to third-party capital, BitMine transitions from a passive corporate wallet into a critical, revenue-generating service provider for the broader digital economy.

Casting the Future of Yield GenerationLegacy financial ratios highlight a complete operational pivot. BitMine printed $6.09 million in legacy immersion hardware sales over the trailing 12 months, generating a seemingly impossible price-to-sales multiple of 1,500x. The market effectively zeroed out the hardware manufacturing business, valuing BitMine solely on a $10.4 billion net asset value.

The strategy is clear, mathematically sound, and aggressively executed. BitMine secured cheap capital through a preferred stock issuance, neutralized the associated yield liability using native network staking revenues, and deployed the leverage to expand a dominant position in the global digital asset supply.

Investors seeking exposure to the ongoing integration of digital assets and traditional finance might want to add BitMine to their watchlists as the market continues to digest its transition into a self-funding infrastructure powerhouse.

BITMINE Weekly Update

STAKING: BMNR now staking over 4.7 million ETH

ALCHEMY of 5%: BMNR ranked #203 by 5D avg $ volume

Au 14 juin 2026 à 18 h 00 (heure de l'Est), les avoirs en cryptomonnaies de la Société se composent de 5 620 754 ETH, au cours de 1 718 $ par ETH (selon Coinbase, NASDAQ : COIN), 204 Bitcoin (BTC), 180 millions de dollars de participation dans Beast Industries, 88 millions de dollars de participation dans Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ : ORBS) (« moonshots ») et un total de liquidités et de titres négociables s'élevant à 502 millions de dollars. Les avoirs en ETH de Bitmine représentent 4,66 % de l'offre totale d'ETH (qui s'élève à 120,7 millions d'ETH).

Le 10 juin, Bitmine a clôturé son offre (l'« offre ») enregistrée en vertu de la loi sur les valeurs mobilières de 1933, telle que modifiée (la « loi sur les valeurs mobilières »), portant sur 3 500 000 actions privilégiées perpétuelles de série A à 9,50 % (les « actions privilégiées de série A »), au prix d'offre public de 80,00 $ par action. La Société a généré de cette émission un produit net d'environ 273,8 millions de dollars, après déduction des remises et commissions de prise ferme ainsi que des frais d'émission estimés de la Société. Les actions privilégiées de série A devraient être cotées à la Bourse de New York (NYSE) sous le symbole BMNP à partir du 16 juin 2026. Les dividendes de BMNP devraient être versés chaque semaine, sous réserve des conditions prévues dans le certificat de désignation applicable.

« L'émission d'actions privilégiées de série A constitue une bonne diversification du bilan pour Bitmine. Les récompenses de staking annualisées actuellement prévues par la société, d'un montant d'environ 219 millions de dollars, génèrent des flux de trésorerie récurrents qui permettent de financer les dividendes liés aux actions privilégiées de série A », a déclaré Thomas « Tom » Lee, président de Bitmine.

Le 11 juin 2026, Bitmine a été classée dans le classement « Fortune 100 Crypto » (lien ici). Le magazine Fortune a publié ce classement de référence des entreprises les plus influentes dans le domaine de la chaîne de blocs, qui s'appuie sur une analyse rigoureuse des données réalisée par Inca Digital et sur une enquête menée auprès d'experts de premier plan en cryptomonnaies, selon le magazine Fortune.

Le 11 mai 2026, Bitmine a publié le dernier message du président (lien ici) pour mai 2026.

« Au cours de la semaine dernière, nous avons acquis 76 881 ETH. Nous maintenons un rythme d'achat relativement soutenu, car nous estimons que ce recul des cours de l'ETH ne reflète pas le renforcement des fondamentaux d'Ethereum. Cela n'a rien d'étonnant, étant donné que nous pensons nous trouver aux prémices d'un "printemps des cryptomonnaies". Bitmine devrait atteindre le "seuil magique des 5 %" courant 2026 », a déclaré M. Lee.

Bitmine a récemment lancé MAVAN (the Made in American VAlidator Network), la plateforme de staking de niveau institutionnel. Alors que MAVAN a été initialement développée pour soutenir la propre trésorerie Ethereum de Bitmine, la plateforme a aujourd'hui vocation à se développer pour servir les investisseurs institutionnels, les dépositaires et les partenaires de l'écosystème à la recherche d'une infrastructure de staking de premier ordre. Une partie des ETH de Bitmine est déjà stakée sur la plateforme MAVAN.

Au 14 juin 2026, le montant total d'ETH stakés par Bitmine s'élève à 4 718 677 (soit 8,1 milliards de dollars, à 1 718 dollars l'ETH). « Bitmine a staké plus d'ETH que toute autre entité dans le monde. À grande échelle (lorsque les ETH de Bitmine sont entièrement stakés par MAVAN et ses partenaires de staking), la récompense prévue pour le staking d'ETH est de 269 millions de dollars sur une base annualisée (en utilisant un rendement de 2,79 % sur 7 jours pour BMNR) », a déclaré M. Lee.

« Les revenus annuels liés au staking sont désormais estimés à 226 millions de dollars. Ces 4,7 millions d'ETH représentent plus de 83 % des 5,62 millions d'ETH détenus par Bitmine. « Les opérations de staking menées par Bitmine ont généré un rendement sur 7 jours de 2,79 % (annualisé) », a poursuivi Lee.

Les avoirs en cryptomonnaies de Bitmine règnent en tant que première trésorerie Ethereum et deuxième trésorerie mondiale, derrière Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ : MSTR), qui détiendrait 845 256 BTC, pour une valeur de 54 milliards de dollars. Bitmine reste la plus importante trésorerie d'ETH au monde. 

Bitmine est l'une des actions les plus négociées aux États-Unis. Selon les données de Fundstrat, le titre a enregistré un volume quotidien moyen de 550 millions de dollars (moyenne sur 5 jours, au 12 juin 2026), se classant ainsi à la 203e place aux États-Unis, derrière Oklo Technologies (202e) et devant Parker-Hannifin (204e) parmi les 5 704 titres cotés aux États-Unis (statista.com et étude Fundstrat).

La direction de Bitmine estime que la loi GENIUS et le projet Crypto de la Securities and Exchange Commission (la « SEC ») sont aussi transformateurs pour les services financiers en 2025 que l'action des États-Unis, le 15 août 1971, qui a mis fin à Bretton Woods et à l'étalon-or du dollar américain il y a 54 ans. Cet événement de 1971 a été le catalyseur de la modernisation de Wall Street, créant les titans emblématiques de Wall Street et les réseaux financiers et de paiement d'aujourd'hui. Ceux-ci se sont avérés être de meilleurs investissements que l'or.

La Société a également annoncé que le conseil d'administration avait déclaré un troisième dividende hebdomadaire en espèces d'un montant de 0,2639 $ par action sur les actions en circulation de la catégorie A des actions privilégiées de la Société, dont le versement est prévu le 6 juillet 2026 aux détenteurs inscrits des actions privilégiées de série A à la clôture des marchés le 26 juin 2026.

OpenAI e Beast Industries

, /PRNewswire/ -- Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("Eightco" o "la Società") ha fornito oggi un aggiornamento sulle proprie partecipazioni complessive, evidenziando la crescente presenza nel settore degli asset digitali e degli investimenti strategici in società tecnologiche private leader.

Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) Reports Total Holdings of Approximately $406 Million, Includes OpenAI, Beast Industries, More Than 16,000 ETH and Over 283 Million WLD Tokens

Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) Reports Total Holdings of Approximately $406 Million, Includes OpenAI, Beast Industries, More Than 16,000 ETH and Over 283 Million WLD Tokens

Al 10 giugno 2026, alle ore 16:30. ET, ORBS detiene partecipazioni che includono un investimento di 90 milioni di dollari (indirettamente, tramite società veicolo) in OpenAI, un investimento di 18 milioni di dollari in Beast Industries, un investimento di 1 milione di dollari in Mythical Games, 283.452.700 Worldcoin (WLD) a 0,45 dollari per WLD (secondo Coinbase), 16.278 Ethereum (ETH) e un totale di circa 142 milioni di dollari in contanti e stablecoin, per un valore complessivo delle partecipazioni pari a circa 406 milioni di dollari.

Le principali notizie sull'IA in testa all'informazione:

Il management di ORBS ritiene che il portafoglio di tesoreria della Società contenga alcuni degli elementi più cruciali per il futuro dell'intelligenza artificiale e del sistema finanziario digitale. Tra le partecipazioni, i punti salienti delle ultime settimane sono:

È stato di recente riportato che gli hacker potrebbero potenzialmente utilizzare l'IA per estrarre le impronte digitali dalle immagini pubblicate di persone che si fanno selfie con il segno della pace. Utilizzando software di fotoritocco e strumenti di IA, le creste digitali possono essere migliorate e rese visibili nelle immagini ad alta risoluzione (The New York Post). Con la proliferazione di strumenti di IA avanzati, i dispositivi Orb di Tools For Humanity diventano notevolmente più importanti per dimostrare l'umanità. L'8 giugno, OpenAI ha annunciato di aver presentato un documento S-1 riservato, preparandosi per un'offerta pubblica iniziale (OpenAI). "Una futura IPO di OpenAI consentirà agli investitori pubblici di detenere una partecipazione diretta in una delle aziende più importanti alla guidano della trasformazione dell'IA", ha dichiarato Thomas "Tom" Lee, membro del consiglio di amministrazione di Eightco. "ORBS, tramite le sue attuali partecipazioni indirette nel capitale azionario di OpenAI, consente agli investitori di esporsi a OpenAI prima di qualsiasi offerta pubblica".

Eightco: esposizione ai principali megatrend

Eightco si fonda su tre megatrend che, secondo le previsioni dell'Azienda, plasmeranno il prossimo decennio dell'innovazione: IA, identità digitale ed economia dei creator, con posizioni in ciascuno di essi attraverso investimenti indiretti in OpenAI (22% delle partecipazioni in portafoglio di ORBS), Worldcoin (32%) e Beast Industries (4%).

IA — OpenAI

Eightco ha investito circa 90 milioni di dollari in veicoli a scopo speciale con esposizione a partecipazioni azionarie nella società madre di OpenAI, pari a circa il 22% delle attività di tesoreria, una delle concentrazioni più elevate tra tutti i veicoli quotati.

ChatGPT, l'app consumer di OpenAI, è diventata l'app consumer di intelligenza artificiale numero uno al mondo (Sensor Tower) e nel febbraio 2026 ha superato i 900 milioni di utenti attivi settimanali, diventando così la tecnologia consumer con la crescita più rapida della storia (UBS via Reuters).

Identità digitale — Token WLD

Eightco detiene oltre 283 milioni di WLD, pari a circa l'8,4% della fornitura circolante, la maggiore posizione istituzionale resa pubblica a livello globale e che costituisce circa il 32% degli asset di tesoreria di Eightco.

Worldcoin è il token nativo di World, una rete globale Proof of Human creata da Tools for Humanity (cofondata da Sam Altman e Alex Blania) e gestita dalla World Foundation. I dispositivi Orb rilasciano un World ID che tutela la privacy e verifica che l'utente sia una persona fisica e non un agente AI.

In base al modello di business annunciato da World, le applicazioni pagano commissioni per ogni verifica, mentre la verifica degli utenti finali rimane gratuita, con sia gli emittenti di credenziali che il protocollo World che monetizzano l'autenticazione degli utenti verificati. World individua un'opportunità di fatturato potenziale complessiva pari a 6,35 trilioni di dollari in 13 settori, tra cui quello bancario, l'e-commerce, il gaming, i social media e l'IA agentica (secondo Tools for Humanity).

Economia dei creatori — Beast Industries

Eightco ha investito 18 milioni di dollari nel capitale azionario di Beast Industries, pari a circa il 4% delle attività di tesoreria.

Beast Industries vanta una delle più ampie reti di distribuzione diretta al consumatore al mondo, con oltre 500 milioni di follower complessivi su tutte le piattaforme, grazie soprattutto a MrBeast, la persona più seguita su YouTube a livello globale. Man mano che l'intelligenza artificiale trasforma in commodity la creazione di contenuti, la distribuzione e la fiducia del pubblico diventano risorse sempre più ridotte.

Informazioni su Eightco Holdings Inc.

Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) è una holding quotata in borsa, che sta implementando una strategia di tesoreria innovativa basata su Worldcoin (WLD), offrendo agli investitori un'esposizione indiretta a un singolo ticker a tre dei trend principali di questo ciclo: l'IA attraverso il suo investimento indiretto in OpenAI, l'identità digitale attraverso la posizione di maggiore detentore pubblico di WLD e del protocollo Proof-of-Human, e l'economia dei creator attraverso la partecipazione azionaria in Beast Industries di MrBeast. Grazie al supporto di investitori istituzionali leader, tra cui Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE: BMNR), MOZAYYX, World Foundation, CoinFund, Discovery Capital Management, FalconX, Payward/Kraken, Pantera e GSR, Eightco sta creando l'infrastruttura per la verifica umana nell'era dell'IA agentica.

Il presente comunicato stampa contiene dichiarazioni che costituiscono "dichiarazioni previsionali" ai sensi del Private Securities Litigation Reform Act del 1995. Le dichiarazioni contenute nel presente comunicato stampa che non sono puramente storiche sono dichiarazioni previsionali che comportano rischi e incertezze. Queste dichiarazioni previsionali possono essere identificate da termini quali "prevede", "progetta", "progettato", "intende", "crede", "anticipa", "stima" ed espressioni simili. In particolare, il presente documento contiene dichiarazioni previsionali riguardanti il pagamento dei dividendi sulle azioni privilegiate di Serie A della Società, la quotazione e l'avvio delle negoziazioni delle azioni privilegiate di Serie A sul New York Stock Exchange, nonché la strategia della Società di accumulo di asset digitali e le attività di staking. Nel valutare queste dichiarazioni previsionali, occorre considerare vari fattori, tra cui: la capacità di Bitmine di finanziare la propria attività attuale, le operazioni di tesoreria relative a Ethereum e le attività future proposte; le condizioni di mercato che influenzano il prezzo di negoziazione delle azioni ordinarie e delle azioni privilegiate di Serie A della Società; gli sviluppi normativi che riguardano gli asset digitali, tra cui l'eventuale approvazione e attuazione di leggi in sospeso e iniziative della SEC; la volatilità e l'imprevedibilità dei prezzi degli asset digitali; le performance, l'affidabilità e la sicurezza delle operazioni di staking della Società; e il valore futuro di Bitcoin ed Ethereum. I risultati futuri effettivi potrebbero differire notevolmente da quelli espressi nelle dichiarazioni previsionali. Le dichiarazioni previsionali sono soggette a numerose condizioni, molte delle quali esulano dal controllo di Bitmine, comprese quelle indicate nella sezione "Fattori di rischio" del modulo 10-K di Bitmine depositato presso la SEC il 21 novembre 2025, nonché in tutti gli altri documenti depositati presso la SEC, modificati o aggiornati di volta in volta. Le copie dei documenti depositati da Bitmine presso la SEC sono disponibili sul sito web della SEC all'indirizzo www.sec.gov. Bitmine non si assume alcun obbligo di aggiornare le presenti dichiarazioni in caso di revisioni o modifiche successive alla data di pubblicazione del presente comunicato, salvo nei casi previsti dalla legge.
