IP STRATEGY HOLDINGS, INC.

We operate a diversified business centered on digital asset based infrastructure and intellectual property ( IP ) management, supplemented by a legacy craft spirits operating segment. In August 2025, we consummated a $220 million offering of our pre-paid stock purchase warrants in which we acquired 53.2 million $IP Tokens for our digital asset treasury. The $IP Token is the native utility token of the Story Network, a decentralized layer 1 blockchain that allows network participants to register, license and enforce IP assets. Our strategic focus involves the continued growth of our validator services using our $IP Tokens to generate yield and the possible future acquisition, management, and monetization of IP that can add value to our balance sheet and deliver more revenue and yield. We are among the largest corporate holders of $IP Tokens, and we actively deploy these holdings to generate yield and service revenue through validator operations. We view our $IP Token holdings as productive assets that support transaction validation, network security, and IP-centric economic activity across the Story ecosystem. We established our validator business in September 2025 to allow us to derive yield and revenue from our large $IP Token holdings. A cryptocurrency validator is like a digital notary or referee in a blockchain network. Its job is to check that transactions on the network are real and follow the network rules. Validators also are randomly selected to propose a new block of transactions to be added to the blockchain.
