That's what I assumed too but in the Q&A under the product on Amazon I found someone who asked a similar question, and it sounds to me like the USB does NOT act as phantom power. It makes no sense to me why that wouldn't power it but ....
Looks like I'll either need to try tunnelsup's idea, using the box I have or just get a new mic. If my box doesn't work, I think I'd sooner buy a new mic than spend $100 on the box he linked, since my current mic is likely not that great compared to one I could get for ~$100, and not have to mess with the extra equipment.

All but 1 cost less than the box, and have great reviews. Proven to sound great and work out of the box direct to PC.
I turned my linen closet, which is perfectly shaped like an audio booth into my home recording studio. I lined the walls with soundproofing foam (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ACLIFBC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and record on a Blue Yeti (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072PR6W8P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I edit in Adobe Audition and use a pair of Audio-Technica headphones (https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50x-Professional-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B00HVLUR86)
I haven't recorded anything on my mic, though my brother uses a Blue Yeti USB mic.
This is a recent song he recorded with it.
