, /PRNewswire/ -- Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS ) ("Eightco" or the "Company") today announced that it has repurchased more than 55 million shares of its common stock under its previously announced $125 million share repurchase program, while maintaining significant exposure to OpenAI and World. Since August of this year, the Company has repurchased 12.98% of its shares outstanding.

On October 26, Eightco monetized a small portion of its OpenAI investment at a price per share that was roughly 40% above the Company's initial purchase price. Critically, this strategic sale highlights appreciation within the portfolio that is not reflected in the reported treasury figures (which are held at cost). As such, management was able to monetize assets above their carrying value while the Company's stock trades at a discount to net assets. The Board intends to use those sale proceeds for additional share repurchases.

"Since Eightco invested in OpenAI, its valuation has experienced significant step changes, reflecting the scale of the opportunity emerging across artificial intelligence," said Kevin O'Donnell, Chief Executive Officer of Eightco Holdings. "We've capitalized a portion of our OpenAI position following substantial appreciation and strategically deployed this capital to repurchase ORBS shares."

"The size of the cumulative common share repurchases, in my view, reflects this Company's commitment to deliver shareholder returns," said Tom Lee, board member of Eightco. "More importantly, ORBS continues to own an attractive portfolio of valuable and appreciating assets. The sizable gain from the stake in OpenAI is the most recent example."
