Shares of Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ORBS) are rising Monday after the digital asset company announced a stock buyback program.

What To Know: Eightco Holdings’ board of directors approved a share buyback program up to $125 million. The company, which holds over 10% of the current Worldcoin supply, has been in the spotlight since Wedbush’s Dan Ives took over as chairman in September.

“Management and the Board believe that based on Eightco’s current valuation and its pipeline for additional partnerships, the public stock is becoming an increasingly attractive investment,” Ives said on Monday.

“This buyback program is a strong vote of confidence in Eightco’s strategy, and we see this as an opportunity to create meaningful value for shareholders as we execute on our vision.”

Eightco aims to drive the development of a universal framework for digital identity and authentication through strategic investments and partnerships, in addition to its Worldcoin treasury.

Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of possible trading platforms here. Many will allow you to buy “fractional shares,” which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.

If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to “go short” a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell.
