IP Strategy launches validator infrastructure on the Story Network

IP Strategy announced the official launch of its validator business on the Story Network. The validator business provides IP Strategy with an attractive new source of potential high-growth recurring revenue and strengthens its position as both a participant in and supporter of the programmable IP economy. By building its own validator infrastructure, IP Strategy can stake $IP tokens directly without paying third-party fees while maintaining complete control over security and performance. After just two weeks of testing, starting September 6, 2025, and going live on September 18, 2025, the Company has self-staked 43.5 million unlocked $IP tokens and earned nearly 165,000 $IP tokens in validator rewards, worth approximately $1.5M.
