[{"type":"text","content":"Company intends to pursue investments across the AI infrastructure stack, including an initial investment in sUSDaiUtilizes existing $30M facility to build dedicated GPU and AI asset portfolio RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iPower Inc. (Nasdaq: IPW) today announced the launch of its AI infrastructure strategy, positioning the Company as a dedicated capital provider for GPU clusters and AI infrastructure assets. The AI infrastructure market faces a fundamental supply-demand imbalance – GPU capacity is difficult to source and deploy, and operators face significant capital constraints in meeting surging demand. This leaves customers facing significant delays in building the AI capabilities they need. iPower intends to address this gap by acting as a flexible capital provider and strategic partner to infrastructure operators across the technology stack, initially via its existing $30 million December 2025 financing facility. As a first step, the Company has committed up to $3 million from new financing proceeds to purchase sUSDai, a yield-bearing instrument backed by GPU-collateralized loans, giving iPower direct exposure to AI infrastructure revenue streams in a downside protected structure. “We are in the early innings of the most significant technological adoption in this generation, and compute infrastructure is the critical bottleneck standing between enterprises and adoption. We believe iPower is well-capitalized to address the opportunity in this space. Our initial deployment into sUSDai is the first step in what we intend to build into a meaningful presence as a capital provider in the AI infrastructure ecosystem,” said Lawrence Tan, CEO of iPower Inc. iPower’s AI infrastructure strategy is focused on several key initiatives: Pursuing investments across the AI infrastructure stack, including an initial investment in sUSDaiTargeting strong returns on invested capital (ROIC) through disciplined asset selectionLeveraging iPower’s capital markets experience and ecosystem relationships to scale the portfolio as the strategy matures The Company intends to provide updates on additional developments as it executes the strategy.
