Technically Hasbro still owns it, but they've subcontracted the show out to Disney, same as they subcontracted the toys out to a different company.
Is Hasbro slowly becoming a IP holder company & doesn't want to actually make anything in-house anymore?
Short answer. Yes.
Hasbro No Longer Co-Financing Future Movie IP's
Hasbro Will No Longer Be Co-Financing Any Upcoming Movies of IP's They Own the Rights Too With Any Movie Studio.

"Micronaughts?" 
What are Micronaughts?"Micronaughts?"
Micronauts (comics) - Wikipedia
ThanksMicronauts (comics) - Wikipedia

It's a weird misspelling to happen by accident -- why would anyone think it was "-naughts," rather than the riff on astronaut/aeronaut/etc. that it obviously was? It feels like an insulting nickname someone might apply to them.
I had a number of Micronauts action figures and playsets when I was a kid, and I still have a couple of Time Traveler figures, only one of which is intact. (I sometimes use them to choreograph fight scenes in my fiction.) I never got into reading the comics, though, since I wasn't much of a comics reader as a kid. I was vaguely aware of the comics, but puzzled that their characters seemed to bear little to no resemblance to my action figures. I created my own version of the characters and worldbuilding when I played with the toys. My Micronauts were robots created by an inventor named Dorgon, and a dozen or so years later when Power Rangers came along and introduced Zordon, I was struck by the coincidental similarity. I think maybe Dorgon was lost in time and the Micronauts were searching for him, hence "Time Traveler." But it's been so long that I hardly remember.

I hope they pull more from the comics.Power Rangers is apparently returning to Disney

They gave it to the writer of the Percy Jackson TV series. If it's going to be a combination of Percy Jackson and superhero movies, this will definitely work. But Marvel's team movies would be a medium-budget carpet. From there, it was a spin-off series. It will continue with Disney Plus movies.Power Rangers is apparently returning to Disney

They did a good job with the Percy Jackson series, so they might be a good choice. Do we know if this will be 100% American with no connection to Super Sentai?Power Rangers is apparently returning to Disney

As far as I understand, Hasbro will work with Paramount on the film side and Disney on the TV show side. It's probably a situation like the Lord of Rings film license being with Warner Bros and the TV series license being with Amazon. The only thing that's different about The Lord of Rings is that they'll probably do it with a budget of 80-100 million dollars. If these projects come true and are successful, neither Paramount will make a few movies and abandon the series nor Disney will make a TV series and abandon it and produce a few TV series.
Rumor.
There will be a Goranger movie of sorts. Apparently it could be a new team mentored by the original team fighting black cross
If true there will be information on April 5th

In the article it mentions Toei and Saban will not be involved in the new series
So what I understood from the article, Toei wants to expand Super Sentai and Power Rangers at the same time (and Kamen Rider), while not being involved on the Disney+ series

I hope this means more KR and SS seasons officially released/subbed on video and streaming. Ideally, I'd like simulcasts of new episodes like Ultraman has on its YouTube channel.
