- Convertible Notes With Floor-price Conversion At $0.40/share Vs. 1.89m Shares Outstanding; Registered Shares Represent 14× Dilution (new) — The Series A Convertible Notes allow conversion at prices as low as $0.40/share (or 95% of seven-day VWAP), and the 27.1M registered shares alone represent over 14× the current share count, creating extreme dilution risk as the noteholder converts and sells in tranches under the 4.99% ownership cap.

iPower is registering 27,135,484 shares underlying $22.4M of Series A Convertible Notes held by selling stockholder ATW Digital Asset Opportunities XIV LLC. The company will receive no proceeds from these share sales; all proceeds go to the noteholder. The registered shares represent over 14× the current 1,891,147 shares outstanding.

The convertible notes carry a fixed conversion price of $2.39/share but allow conversion at an alternate price as low as the greater of $0.40 (floor) or 95% of the lowest seven-day VWAP. Full conversion without the 4.99% ownership blocker would result in 28,959,770 shares—over 15× current shares outstanding—creating massive dilution.

iPower has adopted a Digital Treasury Strategy and plans to purchase approximately $4.4M in bitcoin and ether after closing the convertible note sales. The company's bitcoin holdings will serve as collateral for debt owed to the investor and are less liquid than cash, with insurance covering only a small fraction of total holdings.

The company is not subject to investment-company or investment-adviser regulation despite holding significant digital assets.

iPower has experienced a past security breach where hackers used social engineering to steal digital assets from a service provider, though the loss was not material. Custodian insolvency could result in the company being treated as a general unsecured creditor with no direct ownership claim to its bitcoin.
Summary
iPower Inc. is registering 27,135,484 shares of common stock for resale by convertible noteholder ATW Digital Asset Opportunities XIV LLC. The company will receive no proceeds from these sales; all proceeds go to the selling stockholder. The registered shares represent over 14 times iPower's current 1,891,147 shares outstanding as of July 10, 2026.
The underlying Series A Convertible Notes carry a $2.39/share fixed conversion price but allow the holder to convert at an alternate price as low as the greater of $0.40 (the floor) or 95% of the lowest seven-day volume-weighted average price. If fully converted without the 4.99% ownership blocker, the noteholder's position would total 28,959,770 shares—over 15× the current share count.
The 4.99% cap limits ownership at any moment but does not prevent the holder from converting and selling in sustained tranches, creating extreme ongoing dilution with no offsetting capital raise for the company. iPower has adopted a Digital Treasury Strategy and plans to purchase approximately $4.4 million in bitcoin and ether after closing the convertible note sales. The company's bitcoin holdings will be pledged as collateral for debt owed to the investor, creating forced-liquidation risk if the company defaults. The filing discloses that iPower's bitcoin is less liquid than cash, insurance covers only a small fraction of total holdings, and custodian insolvency could leave the company as a general unsecured creditor with no direct claim to its bitcoin. The company has already experienced a security breach in which hackers used social engineering to steal digital assets from a service provider. iPower is not subject to investment-company or investment-adviser regulation despite its significant digital-asset holdings, meaning changes to its treasury strategy, leverage, custody, and affiliated transactions require only board approval, not stockholder or regulatory approval. The combination of massive convertible-note dilution, pledged and under-insured bitcoin collateral, and lack of investment-company protections presents substantial risk to existing and prospective shareholders.

Our bitcoin holdings are less liquid than our existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents. Historically, the crypto markets have been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges, and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of market instability, we may not be able to sell our bitcoin at favorable prices or at all.
iPower discloses that its bitcoin holdings are less liquid than cash and may not serve as a liquidity source during market instability. The company notes crypto markets have significant volatility, limited liquidity versus sovereign-currency markets, and lack the protections available to cash or securities held at FDIC- or SIPC-regulated institutions. The company also holds Solana and operates validators, exposing it to regulatory uncertainty around Layer-1 blockchains beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

We are not subject to legal and regulatory obligations that apply to investment companies such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or to obligations applicable to investment advisers. Mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and their directors and management are subject to extensive regulation as “investment companies” and “investment advisers” under U.S. federal and state law; this regulation is intended for the benefit and protection of investors. We are not subject to, and do not otherwise voluntarily comply with, these laws and regulations. This means, among other things, that the execution of or changes to our Digital Treasury Strategy, our use of leverage, the manner in which our bitcoin is custodied, our ability to engage in transactions with affiliated parties and our operating and investment activities generally are not subject to the extensive legal and regulatory requirements and prohibitions that apply to investment companies and investment advisers. For example, although a significant change to our Treasury Reserve Policy would require the approval of our board of directors, no stockholder or regulatory approval would be necessary.
iPower states it is not subject to the extensive regulation that applies to investment companies and investment advisers, even though it holds significant digital assets. Changes to its Digital Treasury Strategy, use of leverage, custody arrangements, and affiliated-party transactions require only board approval, not stockholder or regulatory approval. This means investors lack the protections that mutual-fund or ETF holders enjoy.

Under the terms of the Series A Convertible Notes, the Selling Stockholder may not convert the Series A Convertible Notes to the extent such conversion would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock following such conversion (the “Maximum Percentage”), excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such Series A Convertible Notes which have not been converted. ... Without regard to the Maximum Percentage, as of July 10, 2026, assuming the conversion of all Series A Convertible Notes held by the Selling Stockholder, the Selling Stockholder would beneficially own an aggregate of 28,959,770 shares of our common stock, which consists of (i) an aggregate of 27,135,484 shares of our common stock underlying the Series A Convertible Notes held by the Selling Stockholder being registered under this prospectus, and (ii) 1,824,286 shares of our common stock underlying that certain Series A Convertible Note, issued on December 23, 2025, the outstanding balance of $886,603 converted at conversion price of $0.486, none of which are being registered under this prospectus.
The selling stockholder (ATW Digital Asset Opportunities XIV LLC) holds convertible notes that, if fully converted without the 4.99% blocker, would result in 28,959,770 shares—over 15× the current 1,891,147 shares outstanding. The 4.99% conversion cap limits the holder's ownership at any moment but does not prevent it from converting and selling in tranches, creating sustained dilution and selling pressure over time.

We are not selling any common stock under this prospectus, and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the Selling Stockholder. All net proceeds from the sale of the common stock covered by this prospectus will go to the Selling Stockholder. However, the Company will receive proceeds upon the sale of the Series A Convertible Notes issued in any additional closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which proceeds the Company intends to use to pay off existing loans, investing in additional digital assets, and for general corporate purposes. We will not receive any proceeds from sales by the Selling Stockholders.

The company received cash only when it originally issued the convertible notes. The registered shares represent dilution to existing holders with no offsetting capital raise for the company at the time of sale.

Our bitcoin holdings will serve as collateral securing our outstanding indebtedness to the Investor following this Offering.
iPower's bitcoin holdings will be pledged as collateral for debt owed to an investor after the offering closes. This creates a risk that if the company defaults on the debt, the lender could seize the bitcoin collateral, reducing the company's treasury assets and potentially forcing liquidation at unfavorable prices.

The insurance that covers losses of our bitcoin holdings covers only a small fraction of the value of the entirety of our bitcoin holdings, and there can be no guarantee that such insurance will be maintained as part of the custodial services we have or that such coverage will cover losses with respect to our bitcoin.
Insurance coverage for the company's bitcoin holdings covers only a small fraction of the total value, leaving most of the bitcoin holdings uninsured against theft, loss, or custodian insolvency. This creates substantial unhedged risk to the company's treasury assets.

In the past, hackers have successfully employed a social engineering attack against one of our service providers and misappropriated our digital assets, although, to date, such events have not been material to our financial condition or operating results.
The company has already experienced a successful cyberattack where hackers used social engineering to steal digital assets from a service provider, though the loss was not material. This demonstrates that the company has been targeted and that its security controls or those of its service providers have been breached in the past.

Moreover, our use of custodians exposes us to the risk that the bitcoin our custodians hold on our behalf could be subject to insolvency proceedings and we could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of the custodian, inhibiting our ability to exercise ownership rights with respect to such bitcoin.
If a custodian holding iPower's bitcoin enters bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, the company could be treated as a general unsecured creditor rather than having a direct ownership claim to the bitcoin. This means the company might not recover its bitcoin or could face significant delays and losses in a custodian bankruptcy.
