The announcement included a $250M private placement and an additional $20M strategic investment from BitMine, marking a massive corporate bet on the future of Worldcoin as a treasury asset. According to CoinMarketCap, WLD now trades at $1.8, up over 55% in the past 24 hours, with a market cap above $3.6B.

This move has ignited excitement across both equity and crypto markets, pushing Eightco’s stock price into parabolic territory.

Eightco’s transformation into a Worldcoin-focused treasury vehicle has sent shockwaves through Wall Street. Shares of OCTO soared from $1.45 on September 5 to an intraday high of $79.52, representing a 3,000%+ rally in just days.

The company’s market cap jumped from $4.4M to $242M, a staggering revaluation that highlights investor appetite for bold, crypto-native corporate strategies.

This surge didn’t stop with Eightco. Other small-cap names like CleanCore (ZONE) and Forward Industries (FORD) also posted sharp gains in after-hours and intraday trading, showing how capital is rotating into speculative growth plays tied to digital assets.
