VivoPower International, a Nasdaq-listed B-Corp now pivoting to an XRP-centric treasury, said on September 16 it has structured its mining and treasury operations so that it can acquire the token \u201cat up to a 65% discount\u201d to prevailing market prices\u2014by mining other proof-of-work assets and swapping those mined tokens.<\/p>\n

VivoPower Doubles Down On XRP<\/h2>\n

The company\u2019s digital-asset arm, Caret Digital, has secured bulk-purchase discounts for additional mining rigs and plans to expand operations, a move it says further improves its unit economics and lowers the effective cost basis of the tokens obtained via token swaps. \u201cMined tokens will be exchanged into XRP, delivering an effective 65% discount, based on current market prices,\u201d the release<\/a> states.<\/p>\n

The mechanics, as described by VivoPower, hinge on a dual-pronged treasury program: first, produce mined tokens through an expanded fleet acquired at negotiated bulk discounts; second, convert those mined tokens into XRP rather than buying it directly in the open market.<\/p>\n

In parallel, the company says it will continue to seek exposure to Ripple Labs\u2019 equity<\/a> as part of its strategy to secure XRP-linked assets \u201cat the lowest average cost possible.\u201d VivoPower did not publish a detailed formula for the \u201ceffective 65%\u201d figure, but tied the claim to current prices and the economics of mining and procurement.<\/p>\n

The discount-driven swap strategy is part of a broader corporate transformation in which VivoPower describes itself as \u201cthe world\u2019s first XRP-focused digital asset enterprise,\u201d with a mandate to acquire, manage, and hold the token over the long term while supporting ecosystem-based infrastructure and real-world applications. The group operates two business units: Tembo, which develops electric utility vehicles and associated energy solutions, and Caret Digital, which is tasked with power-to-X initiatives including mining.<\/p>\n

Not Just Purchases<\/h2>\n

VivoPower has layered other initiatives onto this treasury pivot<\/a>. On September 2, the company announced a definitive agreement with Doppler Finance\u2014a native yield platform backed by ReForge, DCG and other Ripple-affiliated entities\u2014to deploy an initial $30 million of XRP in staged tranches.<\/p>\n

The program is positioned as a \u201cregenerative loop,\u201d with yields reinvested back into reserves to compound the treasury over time. \u201cBy harnessing Doppler Finance\u2019s programmable infrastructure, we can put reserves to work while retaining XRP as our cornerstone treasury asset,\u201d Executive Chairman and CEO Kevin Chin said in the statement.<\/p>\n

A week later, on September 8, VivoPower\u2019s Tembo<\/a> subsidiary said it would accept Ripple USD<\/a> (RLUSD) for customer and partner payments\u2014citing near-instant settlement and lower costs versus traditional cross-border bank transfers. The company framed RLUSD acceptance as both operationally pragmatic for its global footprint and strategically aligned with its treasury plan, noting RLUSD\u2019s issuance on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum.<\/p>\n

Taken together, the mining-to-swap channel, the Doppler yield deployment, and RLUSD integration sketch a cohesive playbook: reduce the acquisition cost via mining and procurement discounts, generate yield on held tokens within an institutional framework, and deepen real-economy ties to the ecosystem through stablecoin-based payments. While the \u201cup to 65%\u201d effective discount claim is explicitly forward-looking and contingent on market conditions, VivoPower intends to load up on XRP\u2014by producing and swapping rather than simply buying.<\/p>\n

At press time, XRP traded at $3.02.<\/p>\n
