‘XRP Treasury’ VivoPower Abandons Crypto Strategy Amid Market Crash, Stock Price Dumps

VivoPower has confirmed it is exiting its digital asset exposure amid a broad crypto market crash. The XRP treasury exit has led to VVPR stock dropping. The company said it will stop adding crypto assets as Bitcoin slid below $70,000.

VivoPower Confirms Exit Plan Through Ripple Labs Share Deals

In a company disclosure, VivoPower said it has completed a definitive agreement with KWeather, giving the partner economic rights to part of its Ripple Labs shareholdings. In return, VivoPower will receive 20% of KWeather shares valued at $4.3 million. The company described the transaction as a structured path to unwind its crypto-linked exposure.

However, the exit plan does not stop with KWeather. VivoPower said the remaining Ripple Labs shares it holds will be acquired by Lean Ventures of South Korea. The acquisition will occur under a definitive partnership agreement announced in December 2025.

VivoPower said the transactions provide the mechanism for a strategic exit from its digital asset holdings. It also confirmed it will not acquire any further digital assets on its balance sheet. Notably, the company said it has not recorded any aggregate realized or unrealized losses on its digital asset positions. This comes as other crypto treasury companies, such as Michael Saylor’s Strategy, record unrealized losses on their investments. 

Meanwhile, VivoPower added that all Ripple Labs share transactions with KWeather and Lean Ventures will be conducted at market value. It also said the deals will follow the Ripple Labs approval process. As the company restructures, it said it will focus capital and resources on scaling its powered land and data center infrastructure business.

The company also referenced Vivo Federation, its digital asset arm. VivoPower said Vivo Federation focuses on XRPL-based real-world blockchain applications while maintaining exposure to Ripple Labs shares and digital assets.

VivoPower adopted its crypto strategy in May 2025 after becoming the first corporate XRP treasury. This followed a $121 million private placement that priced shares at $6.05. It also partnered with Crypto.com for custody support and expanded stock listing exposure to its reported 150 million users. The strategy continued through XRP yield deployment on Flare, RLUSD stablecoin adoption, and a dedicated Vivo Federation unit.

VVPR Stock Slides as XRP Drops Hard 

After the announcement, VivoPower stock fell sharply. At the time of writing, VVPR was trading at $1.45, down by 11.04% or $0.18 in 24 hours as per Yahoo Finance data. The crypto stock previously closed at $1.63, with a daily range of $1.43 to $1.65.

The broader stock metrics showed volatility. VVPR posted a year range of $0.62 to $8.88 and a market cap of $18.23 million. Average daily volume is near 513,420 shares.

Meanwhile, the token VivoPower focused on, XRP, has also declined. XRP was trading at $1.28, down 16.28% in 24 hours. It also fell 28.07% over the past week and 44.15% over the past month.

Alongside XRP weakness, the overall crypto market dropped 8.13% to $2.3 trillion in 24 hours. The selloff has aligned with macro-driven pressure and tracks correlations of 71% with the S&P 500 and 71% with gold.

Crypto stocks also fell. Strategy shares (MSTR) hit a 16-month low ahead of quarterly results, down 5.8%. BMNR fell 8.33%, while Coinbase (COIN) dropped 8.43%. Circle’s CRCL declined 5.74%, and Robinhood’s HOOD slid 5.83%. Additionally, the selloff led to more than $332 million in long Bitcoin liquidations within 24 hours.
