\nMonthly release covers the period from January 1-31, 2026
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

GIG HARBOR, Wash., Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IP Strategy (Nasdaq: IPST) (the \u201cCompany\u201d), the first company to adopt a treasury reserve policy centered on the $IP token, releases its monthly publication detailing its validator business performance and broader ecosystem developments for tokenized intellectual property and AI-native data networks. The report is part of IP Strategy\u2019s ongoing monthly publication cycle designed to give the investment community greater transparency into operations, yield generation, and Story Network ecosystem growth.<\/p>\n

\n Validator Performance Overview<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

In December 2025, the Company announced the successful transition of its validator operations to a custodied, long-term staking configuration, marking a key upgrade to its validator infrastructure. One million tokens were transferred to the custodied account allowing for long-term staking, which as has been previously disclosed, is expected to materially increase blended staking yields over time compared to prior flexible staking arrangements, while maintaining institutional-grade custody, security, and operational resilience. The January 2026 validator results reflect the initial period following this transition, with actual yield impacts expected to become more visible in subsequent reporting periods.<\/p>\n

Since launching on September 18, 2025<\/strong>, IP Strategy\u2019s validator has continued to perform at near-perfect uptime, contributing to Story network security and transaction validation.
Validator performance metrics for the period\u00a0January 1 \u2013 31, 2026<\/strong> are as follows:1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n
As of January 31, 2026, IP Strategy has staked 39.9 million unlocked $IP tokens, generating a cumulative (since September 18, 2025) 1,182,054.27 $IP tokens in validator rewards worth approximately $5.29 million in revenue based on their recognized cost basis.3<\/sup><\/p>\n

IP Strategy also earns commission income from third-party delegations to its validator, offering external $IP token holders a secure, institutional-grade staking environment. Additional $IP tokens are expected to be staked in upcoming cycles as part of an ongoing expansion of validator operations.<\/p>\n

\n Business Model Snapshot<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

IP Strategy\u2019s validator business forms a core revenue driver for the Company:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Generates on-chain yield by validating transactions and securing the Story Network.<\/li>\n
  2. Earns rewards in $IP tokens based on stake weight and network uptime.<\/li>\n
  3. Receives commission income from third-party $IP token holders who delegate to the Company\u2019s validator.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This dual revenue model, combining treasury yield and staking commissions, creates a sustainable and scalable income stream directly tied to the growth of the Story ecosystem.<\/p>\n

    IP Strategy\u2019s validator business is expected to be highly margin accretive to the Company: staking its current 39.9 million unlocked $IP tokens, at an estimated blended yield of approximately 5.64%, has the potential to generate an estimated 2.25 million $IP tokens annually if the estimated blended yield remains at a consistent level. This would equate to approximately $3.35 million in illustrative potential annualized revenues assuming a token price of $1.49 (based on the closing price of $IP as of January 31, 2026, as reported by CoinMarketCap)4<\/sup>, accompanied by an estimated fixed cost basis of $400,000\u2013$500,000. Tokens staked on a long term basis in custodied accounts are currently seeing yields of up to 12%, which would be expected to increase the above revenue assumptions. With corresponding gross margins estimated to be above 90%, the self-staking validator business provides a scalable, recurring revenue stream that is expected to strengthen IP Strategy\u2019s balance sheet and position it to capture additional growth as staking participation expands.<\/p>\n

    \n Story Ecosystem Highlights<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

    \n Poseidon – AI-Native Data Infrastructure<\/strong>
    \n
    Poseidon continued to scale in 2026 with the publication of its Voice AI Dataset, demonstrating how Story can power rapid, rights-cleared data collection for physical AI systems. In just three weeks, Poseidon coordinated the collection of 33,000+ hours of prompted speech across under-represented languages including Hindi, Urdu, Korean, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Mandarin, exceeding the scale of many public datasets built over years.<\/p>\n

    Aria – Real-World IP Tokenization at Scale<\/strong>
    Aria delivered another concrete real-world IP milestone in 2026 through the successful execution of its first onchain remix competition with K-pop artist NANA. The campaign attracted 170+ original remixes using officially licensed stems, with winners selected by NANA and collaborators and select works advancing toward tokenized release with embedded royalty flows. Alongside growing retail adoption, Aria\u2019s native token $ARIAIP was listed as an asset under consideration by Grayscale, reinforcing institutional interest in compliant, yield-bearing IP assets and Story\u2019s role as a settlement layer for real-world intellectual property.<\/p>\n

    The Story ecosystem continues to demonstrate accelerating adoption across AI-native data networks, real-world IP, and creator-driven applications. As an AI-first Layer 1 powering programmable intellectual property, Story is positioned at the center of two converging markets: the exponential demand for rights-cleared data and the growing shift of cultural and media assets onto blockchain rails. Each month\u2019s developments further expand the addressable market for the $IP token and reinforce the strategic relevance of IP Strategy (Nasdaq: IPST) as the only publicly listed vehicle providing regulated access to this ecosystem.<\/p>\n

    \n Looking Ahead<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

    IP Strategy plans to continue releasing validator and ecosystem updates on a monthly basis, maintaining transparency for stockholders and disclosing the ongoing performance metrics for its validator operations. As the Story ecosystem grows, the Company expects increased staking participation and transaction volume to further strengthen its revenue base and long-term value proposition.<\/p>\n

    \n About IP Strategy<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

    IP Strategy (Nasdaq: IPST) is the first Nasdaq-listed company to hold $IP tokens as a primary reserve asset and operate a validator for the Story Protocol. The Company provides public market investors broad exposure to the $80 trillion programmable intellectual property economy in a regulated equity format. IP Strategy\u2019s treasury reserve of $IP tokens provides direct participation in the Story ecosystem, which enables on-chain registration, licensing, and monetization of intellectual property.<\/p>\n

    Heritage Distilling Holding Company, Inc. is the registered corporate name of IP Strategy.<\/p>\n

    \n About Story<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

    Story is the AI-native blockchain network powering the $IP token and making intellectual property programmable, traceable, and monetizable in real time. Backed by $136 million from a16z crypto, Polychain Capital, and Samsung Ventures, Story launched its mainnet in February 2025 and has rapidly become a leading infrastructure for tokenized intellectual property. Story allows creators and enterprises to turn media, data, and AI-generated content into legally enforceable digital assets with embedded rights, enabling automated licensing and new markets for intellectual property across AI and entertainment.<\/p>\n
