LONDON, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ:VVPR) (the "Company"), a publicly traded company listed on NASDAQ with an XRP-centric treasury strategy, today announced that its digital asset mining unit, Caret Digital, has secured bulk discounts on additional mining rigs and will expand its proof of work mining operations.
