Analysis · ORBS · Finance
Eightco repurchased 14 million shares in two weeks under its $125 million buyback program, reducing the float and signaling management's conviction that the stock is undervalued. The company also reported total holdings of $389 million as of August 19, up from $378 million on August 5, driven by its $90 million OpenAI stake, $18 million Beast Industries equity, 16,278 ETH, and nearly 302 million WLD tokens. The buyback is a direct return of capital to shareholders and a vote of confidence in the treasury strategy, though the company remains under a Nasdaq delisting notice and its core business is struggling.
