[{"type":"text","content":"GIG HARBOR, Wash., Dec. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IP Strategy (Nasdaq: IPST) (the “Company”), a digital intellectual property (DIP) company and the first public company to adopt a treasury reserve centered on the $IP token, today announced that it terminated its open Securities Purchase Agreement for its $15 million Equity Line of Credit (“ELOC”) originally entered in January 23, 2025. The cancellation of the ELOC was effective at the end of the trading day, Monday December 22, 2025 and no further purchases or puts were executed under the ELOC prior to termination of the Securities Purchase Agreement and cancellation of the ELOC. “As we look at the needs of our business going forward, and to assure the market that we are not intent on further dilutive instruments at this time, we feel that the continued effectiveness of the ELOC is not in the best interest of our stockholders,” said Justin Stiefel, Chief Executive Officer and Board Chairman of IP Strategy. With the cancellation of the $15 million ELOC, the Company continues to focus on growing its high margin validator work, improving its strong balance sheet that currently holds 53.2 million $IP Tokens, reducing and eliminating long-term operating expenses and exploring opportunities for further growth. The Company believes this decision will better position it to execute its strategic initiatives without unnecessarily diluting stockholders further.
