BitGo Announces Custody and Transaction Support for iPower’s Digital Asset Treasury

Key Terms

Bitcoin (BTC) financial

Bitcoin (BTC) is a type of digital money that exists only online and is not controlled by any government or bank. It allows people to send value directly to each other through the internet, much like sending an email but with money. For investors, it represents a new kind of asset that can potentially grow in value and offer an alternative to traditional currencies.

Ethereum (ETH) financial

Ethereum is a decentralized digital platform and its native digital currency, Ether (ETH), used to run automated programs and pay for services on that network. Think of ETH as the “fuel” that powers apps and transactions on a global computer that has no single owner; its price matters to investors because wider use, technical upgrades, and demand for transaction capacity can raise or lower Ether’s value, while price swings and staking options affect potential returns and risks.

over-the-counter (OTC) financial

Over-the-counter (OTC) describes stocks and other securities traded directly between buyers and sellers outside formal exchanges, using brokers, dealers, or electronic networks. For investors it matters because OTC trading often means lower transparency, fewer rules and thinner trading volume—like buying at a small flea market instead of a big supermarket—so prices can swing more and the risk of not being able to sell quickly is higher.

multi-signature technical

A multi-signature arrangement requires more than one authorized person to approve a financial action—such as moving funds, signing a contract, or changing account settings—before it can proceed. Think of it like a safe that needs multiple keys turned at once: it reduces the risk that a single person can steal money or make unilateral decisions, strengthening controls and investor protection, though it can also slow approval speed and add administrative steps.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BitGo Holdings Inc. (“BitGo”), the digital asset infrastructure company, today announced that it supported iPower Inc. (Nasdaq: IPW) in the execution and custody of its digital asset treasury transactions.
