The company said, “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. Since launching on September 18, 2025, IP Strategy’s (IPST) validator has continued to perform at near-perfect uptime, contributing to Story network security and transaction validation…As of January 31, 2026, IP Strategy has staked 39.9M unlocked $IP tokens, generating a cumulative 1,182,054.27 $IP tokens in validator rewards worth approximately $5.29 million in revenue based on their recognized cost basis.3 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.”
