Company Description
iPower, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPW) is a technology- and data-driven online retailer and a provider of value-added e-commerce services for third-party products and brands. Classified in the electronic shopping industry within the retail trade sector, the company focuses on digital retail and supporting brands that sell through major online marketplaces and other e-commerce channels.
According to company disclosures, iPower operates a nationwide fulfillment network and is expanding infrastructure across software, logistics, and manufacturing. Its sales channels include large third-party marketplaces and its own e-commerce websites. The company’s retail activities cover consumer home, pet, garden, outdoor, and consumer electronics products, and it is also developing in-house branded products through supply chain partners.
Business model and operations
iPower describes itself as both an online retailer and an e-commerce infrastructure company. On the retail side, it sells consumer products through online channels, including Amazon Vendor, Amazon 3P, Walmart.com, TikTok, Temu, and its own websites such as simpledeluxe.com and others. On the services side, it provides value-added e-commerce services that support third-party products and brands, helping them operate and grow on major digital marketplaces.
The company’s platform capabilities include a spectrum of online channels, fulfillment capacity, a network of warehouses serving the United States, last-mile delivery partners, and a business intelligence platform. These capabilities are intended to support both its own product sales and services provided to brand partners. iPower has also disclosed that it is expanding infrastructure across software, logistics, and manufacturing, including a domestic joint-venture manufacturing line and a packaging production line at a U.S. facility.
Channel partnerships and brand enablement
iPower has highlighted its role as a U.S. retail channel partner for international brands and merchants seeking to expand their online sales presence in the United States. For example, the company announced a partnership with TCL Smart Home Technology, a subsidiary of TCL, to make designated TCL products available through iPower’s authorized channel on its digital retail platform. It has also been recognized as a U.S. retail channel partner at an event hosted by Zyla by Ant International, where it was presented as supporting Zyla’s clients in expanding online sales in the U.S. market.
In connection with these activities, iPower emphasizes marketplace experience, operational execution, and value-added enablement services to help brands and sellers scale across major U.S. online channels. Management commentary refers to an expanding network of “SuperSuite” partners and to SuperSuite supply chain offerings as contributors to its service income.
Supply chain, logistics, and manufacturing
iPower has reported initiatives to diversify and domestically anchor its supply chain. Management has described a transition away from a China import–centric model toward a more diversified structure, with the goal of enhancing logistical control and reducing exposure to tariff-related volatility. The company has also disclosed a U.S. joint-venture manufacturing line that it believes supports margin stability and long-term operational resilience.
In addition, iPower announced that a newly acquired packaging production line was delivered to its domestic facility and prepared for assembly, with plans for test runs and full-scale production. The company has also contributed production material, equipment, and use of space at its Rancho Cucamonga facility to a joint venture entity, in exchange for ownership units in that entity.
Digital asset and blockchain strategy
Beyond traditional e-commerce, iPower has outlined a broader strategy involving digital assets and blockchain integration. The company has described a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy as part of a broader crypto strategy designed to position it at the intersection of digital assets and real-world commerce. As part of this strategy, iPower entered into a convertible note financing facility intended, among other uses, to fund a Digital Asset Treasury holding Bitcoin and Ethereum and to strengthen its balance sheet.
iPower has completed initial purchases of Bitcoin and Ethereum through a subsidiary account maintained with BitGo Bank & Trust, using BitGo Prime’s over-the-counter trading services and institutional custody platform. The company has emphasized that its Digital Asset Treasury is intended as a disciplined, long-term component of its crypto strategy, implemented within defined governance and risk-management frameworks, rather than a short-term trading approach.
In public statements, iPower has indicated that it aims to leverage its retail and e-commerce infrastructure to connect consumers with digital-asset products from licensed providers, and that it is pursuing a long-term roadmap to integrate blockchain capabilities across treasury operations, consumer offerings, and future commerce infrastructure. It has also disclosed that it may make additional digital asset purchases over time, subject to market conditions, capital availability, and internal risk-management considerations.
Capital structure and corporate actions
iPower’s common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol IPW. The company has been identified as an emerging growth company in its SEC filings.

The reverse split became effective on October 27, 2025, with trading continuing on a split-adjusted basis under the same ticker symbol.
Following the reverse split and related actions, Nasdaq notified iPower that it had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The company has also reported efforts to optimize its capital structure, including repayment of an asset-based lending facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the use of a short-term bridge loan to facilitate that repayment, and an ongoing search for alternative funding solutions intended to enhance capital flexibility.

The company previously consolidated a variable interest entity (VIE) in the People’s Republic of China that supported certain sales, supply chain, merchandising, and distribution services. iPower later entered into a VIE contract termination agreement, after which the VIE was no longer owned, operated, or controlled by the company. iPower stated that services previously conducted by the VIE had been gradually transitioned to iPower and other contractors, and that the termination was part of an effort to streamline operations and improve structural efficiency.
The company has also disclosed governance-related updates, including an amended and restated insider trading policy that adjusts blackout periods and updates requirements for establishing Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.
