iPower Signs Nanopulse MOU to Explore U.S. Distribution of Crypto Infrastructure HardwareFebruary 23, 2026 10:22 AM
IH Market News
iPower (NASDAQ:IPW) said on Feb. 23, 2026 that it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Nanopulse to evaluate opportunities to distribute cryptocurrency infrastructure hardware across the United States.Under the proposed framework, the agreement considers hardware sales, possible recurring commission-based revenue arrangements, and exploratory involvement as a U.S.-based validator or node operator. Any activities would remain subject to final agreements, regulatory compliance and due diligence. iPower stressed that the initiative relates strictly to hardware distribution and does not involve financial services.The move aligns with iPower’s broader strategy of leveraging its existing logistics and commerce infrastructure to support crypto-focused technologies, particularly as blockchain networks increasingly rely on physical equipment but often lack the operational capabilities required to market, distribute and service hardware in the U.S. market.“Crypto networks increasingly depend on physical infrastructure, but most projects are not built to efficiently sell, ship and support hardware at scale,” said Lawrence Tan, Chief Executive Officer of iPower. “This initiative positions iPower as the execution layer that bridges crypto-native innovation with real-world distribution, operational discipline and compliance.”Unlike conventional distribution agreements, discussions under the MOU include potential multi-layer revenue structures. These could combine immediate income from hardware sales with possible commission-based participation tied to future revenue generated by infrastructure deployed through iPower, pending regulatory review and definitive documentation.The companies also intend to assess whether iPower could participate as a U.S.-based validator or node operator. Any such role would remain exploratory and would require separate technical, legal and commercial agreements before proceeding.About iPower Inc.iPower Inc. (Nasdaq: IPW) is a technology- and data-focused supply chain and infrastructure provider serving online retailers and brands, operating at the intersection of digital assets and physical commerce. The company provides procurement, fulfillment, logistics and software-enabled solutions, while advancing a broader crypto strategy through licensed partners and compliant infrastructure initiatives.iPower stock price

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iPower Inc. (Nasdaq: IPW) (“iPower” or the “Company”) today announced that it has eliminated a major operating cost center while receiving total consideration of approximately $2.3 million as part of a strategic restructuring designed to streamline operations and strengthen the Company’s core supply chain and fulfillment platform.
Through this transaction, iPower has removed major costs associated with online sales operations by selling its subsidiary, Global Product Marketing Inc., while retaining iPower’s core supply chain, procurement, fulfillment and software infrastructure. The Company will continue to maintain its e-commerce capabilities through its internal operating experience and strategic partnerships, and also maintain ongoing commercial arrangements that provide continued access to future purchase orders and supply chain revenue opportunities, without bearing the previously associated operating expenses.
The transaction is expected to:
Significantly reduce operating expenses by eliminating a major cost center;
Increase iPower’s asset base by approximately $2.3 million; and
Preserve future supply chain revenue opportunities with positive contribution margins, which may reach up to approximately 15% under applicable commercial arrangements.
“This restructuring reflects a disciplined focus on efficiency and long-term value creation,” said Lawrence Tan, Chief Executive Officer of iPower. “By removing a high-cost operating component while retaining our supply chain platform and commercial relationships, we have improved our cost structure, strengthened our balance sheet, and positioned iPower to pursue sustainable, margin-positive revenue opportunities going forward.”
As a result of the improved cost structure and enhanced balance sheet following this restructuring, iPower noted that the Company is better positioned to prudently evaluate and support its previously announced digital asset initiatives, including its Digital Asset Treasury strategy. The Company emphasized that such initiatives remain subject to disciplined capital allocation, governance and risk management, and are intended to complement—rather than replace—its core operating focus.
Following completion of the transaction, iPower expects to operate with lower operating costs, improved operating efficiency and greater strategic flexibility as it continues to evaluate opportunities aligned with its core competencies.
The Company noted that this transaction represents one step in a broader effort to sharpen iPower’s operating focus, reduce structural costs, and maintain flexibility to pursue future growth opportunities.
