Tom Lee-backed Eightco Now Controls 10% of Sam Altman’s Worldcoin (WLD)

Key Notes

  • Eightco Holdings now controls 272 million WLD tokens, establishing a major strategic treasury position.
  • OpenAI secures $100 million multiyear integration deal with Intuit, covering products like TurboTax.
  • Worldcoin's technical analysis suggests potential bullish reversal with falling wedge pattern formation.

Worldcoin WLD $0.68 24h volatility: 6.2% Market cap: $1.59 B Vol. 24h: $138.72 M climbed 3% on Sept. 12 after Eightco Holdings disclosed control of more than 10% of the token’s circulating supply. The enterprise infrastructure firm now holds roughly 272 million WLD, along with 11,068 ETH and $58.2 million in liquid assets, solidifying one of the largest strategic treasury positions in the project.

According to the official press release, Worldcoin is further intensifying efforts in global digital biometric verification through the rollout of Infinity by ORBS, a proof-of-human authentication system designed for large-scale enterprise adoption.

Eightco’s milestone news coincides with another major deal between Worldcoin’s parent firm OpenAI and fintech firm Intuit. According to the Wall Street Journal, Intuit commits to spend more than $100 million on a multiyear plan to integrate OpenAI for its products including TurboTax, whose global user base surpasses 100 million, including 39.9 million in the US.

Shares of Intuit gained 2.6% in pre-market trading on Sept. 12, aligning with the WLD price uptick.

In October, Worldcoin entered a major partnership with fast-rising prediction markets platform Polymarket. The deal saw Polymarket offer a 10% deposit incentive for new WLD users.

Worldcoin Price Analysis: Falling Wedge Signals Early Bullish Reversal Attempt

From a technical perspective, the 12-hour chart shows WLD reclaiming the falling wedge floor after a multi-week downtrend in early November. While the Breakout Probability model shows a 62% chance of further upside, the Bollinger Bands indicate initial resistance at the mid-band resistance near $0.74. Moreover, the RSI at 40.16 signals more room to run before WLD approaches overbought territory.

A decisive breakout above the wedge’s upper trendline near $0.75 would clear the path for more optimistic targets above $1.10, as hinted by the Falling Wedge projection. Failure to reclaim the mid-band or a close below $0.62 would invalidate the bullish setup and prompt a reversal to new November lows.
