PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT) (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”), a leader in data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization technologies, announced that on Tuesday evening, Chief Executive Officer Nate Bradley hosted a private, invitation-only dinner at Mar-a-Lago for a select group of institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and senior government officials.

The private dinner followed successful, similar engagements earlier in the day at Mar-a-Lago, where Bradley met with a separate group of high-net-worth strategic investors. The strong reception from those discussions generated interest in a second, Datavault-hosted gathering, culminating in the private evening dinner.

Discussions during the engagements centered on Datavault AI’s execution roadmap, platform capabilities, and long-term positioning across data infrastructure, digital engagement, and monetization markets. The meetings reflected growing interest in the Company’s approach to verified data, tokenization frameworks, and scalable engagement technologies that bridge physical and digital environments.

The Mar-a-Lago engagements followed a period of elevated visibility and operational execution for Datavault AI. Earlier this month, the Company highlighted its high-impact activations during Super Bowl LX weekend, where its proprietary technologies were deployed in live environments to demonstrate authenticated audience engagement, immersive digital experiences, and real-world tokenization use cases. Those activations served as a real-world validation of the Company’s platforms and their ability to operate at scale.

In addition, Datavault AI recently issued a letter to stockholders outlining its 2025 accomplishments and outlook for 2026. In that update, the Company reported signing $49 million in tokenization and technology licensing agreements during the fourth quarter of 2025, contributing to record-setting revenue performance in fiscal 2025, with additional revenue impact extending into fiscal 2026. Datavault AI also reiterated expectations for at least $30 million in revenue for fiscal 2025, representing year-over-year growth of more than 1,000% compared to fiscal 2024. The Company expects to publish its fourth-quarter results on February 15, 2026.

“The level of engagement we experienced throughout the day, and the interest that carried into the evening, reflects a growing understanding of what Datavault AI has built and where we are headed,” said Nate Bradley, Chief Executive Officer of Datavault AI. “We are focused on execution and on delivering platforms that enable verifiable data, scalable engagement, and monetization in real-world environments. We appreciate the opportunity to engage directly with strategic investors and senior leaders as we continue advancing that mission.”

Datavault AI remains focused on expanding commercial deployments of its technologies, strengthening strategic partnerships, and advancing infrastructure that supports secure data processing, digital engagement, and real-world asset tokenization across multiple sectors.

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 10, 2026 / Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT) (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”), a leader in data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization technologies, today announced the successful execution of multiple high-visibility activations throughout Super Bowl LX weekend, highlighted by a strategic partnership with NFL Alumni in health, national Radio Row engagement, and live demonstrations of its proprietary technologies including ADIO ^® , DVHOLO ^™ , and tokenized digital assets.

Throughout Super Bowl weekend, Datavault AI operated at Radio Row as a real-world proving ground for its data-over-sound and immersive engagement platforms. The Company’s technologies were actively deployed in live environments, demonstrating how authenticated audience engagement, digital credentials, and tokenized content can be captured, verified, and monetized at scale.

Radio Row & Super Bowl Activations

Datavault AI participated in a series of on-site media and technology activations across Radio Row, engaging with athletes, broadcasters, fans and partners such as SiriusXM, CBS Sports, Football Meets Football, NFL Alumni Health, Raiders Podcast Network, Ryan Ripkin show, etc. Using ADIO® ultrasonic data-over-sound engagement, the Company enabled real-time audience interaction, validating its ability to create an innovative immersive experience.

Simultaneously, Datavault showcased DVHOLO ^™, its holographic and immersive visualization platform, reinforcing the Company’s position at the intersection of live events, digital identity, and next-generation fan engagement.

Partnership with NFL Alumni in Health

A central highlight of the weekend was Datavault AI’s collaboration with NFL Alumni in Health aligning technology with community, wellness, and legacy initiatives surrounding Super Bowl weekend and related events, where Datavault AI’s technology demonstrated meaningful real-world impact within the NFL Alumni community. As part of its partnership with NFL Alumni and NFL Alumni in Health, Datavault AI’s ADIO ^® data-over-sound deployment amplified critical public safety messaging and dynamic engagement at community health-focused activations.

Billy Davis, a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens and co-director of NFL Alumni Health, highlighted the value of the collaboration, stating, “As a nonprofit dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of NFL alumni and their communities, we recognized the importance of teaming up with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Datavault AI to deliver this critical, life-saving message. The technology enhances audience engagement by ensuring public safety announcements reach people in real time reinforcing our commitment to supporting the well-being of our alumni and the broader community.”

Datavault AI additionally helped elevate awareness of NFL Alumni’s health, wellness, caregiving, and educational initiative with messaging related to NFL Alumni in Health programs-including initiatives aligned with AARP and its Life Reimagined caregiving resources. Public service announcements were delivered to audiences in high-visibility environments, reinforcing the importance of healthy aging, caregiving, and long-term wellness planning for former players and their communities. These activations complemented NFL Alumni’s broader efforts, such as its Huddle for Health Symposium featuring Hall of Fame players and AARP caregiving experts, by extending reach and reinforcing awareness during one of the largest sports weeks of the year, demonstrating how technology can support community engagement, education, and access to critical resources at scale.

As part of its expanded visibility and engagement efforts during Super Bowl LX week, Datavault AI leveraged the platform of Mark Kerr, a celebrated multiple-time UFC heavyweight tournament champion and sports media personality, to help promote the Company’s technology and mission, including its approach to athlete name, image and likeness (NIL) digital assets. Kerr represented Datavault AI in multiple high-profile media appearances at Radio Row and on platforms such as ESPN, 4th & 1 with Cam Newton, Knockout Radio, Vetted Conversations, and Threads where he discussed how Datavault AI’s technology empowers athletes to control and safely monetize their digital identities and NIL assets, and highlighted the Company’s ongoing efforts tied to the recently announced Sports Illustrated digital asset collaboration.

“These activations went beyond demonstration and reflected real-world execution,” said Nathaniel Bradley, Chief Executive Officer of Datavault AI. “Super Bowl weekend provided an opportunity to validate our platforms in one of the most demanding live-event environments, alongside NFL Alumni, while illustrating how data, identity, and engagement can converge in near real time.”

Looking Ahead

The momentum from Radio Row and Super Bowl weekend builds on Datavault AI’s expanding pipeline of live-event, sports, and media deployments. The Company continues to advance its mission to unlock the value of data through AI, tokenization, and secure digital infrastructure – not just in theory, but in real-world environments where scale and performance matter.

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 28, 2026 / Datavault AI Inc. (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real‑world asset (“RWA”) tokenization technologies, today announced an agreement with iconic sports media brand Sports Illustrated. Under the agreement, Sports Illustrated, Datavault AI and its other partners will explore a potential collaboration for the development of a digital asset exchange focused on unlocking value around athlete name, image and likeness (“NIL”), powered by Datavault AI’s proprietary technology (the “Platform”). Over the coming months, Datavault AI and Sports Illustrated will explore expanding the partnership into a definitive brand license with the goal of a commercial launch of the Platform during the second half of 2026.

This alliance unites Datavault AI’s cutting-edge, quantum-secure technology platform with Sports Illustrated’s significant reach and unmatched influence at the intersection of sports and culture throughout its 70-year heritage. The Platform will be designed to usher in a new era of transparent, efficient, and globally scalable NIL trading – powered by Datavault AI’s patented Data Vault ^® , DataScore ^® , and DataValue ^® AI agents, smart contracts, and the Nasdaq Financial Framework-compatible Information Data Exchange ^® (“IDE”).

“We are excited to partner with Datavault AI on this exploratory venture” said Michael Sherman, EVP Sports & Media at Authentic Brand Group, which owns the Sports Illustrated brand. “This development framework allows us to evaluate potential applications of emerging technologies across the evolving NIL landscape. As a favorite of both the athlete and the fan, Sports Illustrated looks forward to bringing the most trusted name in sports to the NIL trading ecosystem.”

“This partnership with Sports Illustrated marks a significant shift that helps propel us to the forefront of a rapidly expanding global market,” said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. “Sports Illustrated is synonymous with excellence, passion, and the biggest moments in sports history. With Sports Illustrated in our corner, we intend to create the definitive destination for NIL monetization – unlocking unprecedented value for athletes, agencies, brands, and investors worldwide.”

Datavault AI believes that now is an opportune time for the launch of the Platform. Historic U.S. regulatory tailwinds position America as a global leader in digital asset innovation. The landmark GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act) delivers the first comprehensive federal framework for payment stablecoins, establishing clear rules, robust consumer protections, anti-money laundering compliance, and a dual banking/nonbank issuance pathway that directly enables secure, scalable blockchain applications like tokenization of RWAs and NIL rights. With ongoing bipartisan momentum on broader blockchain market structure legislation (including the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act and related bills advancing regulatory clarity), the U.S. is cementing an innovation-friendly environment that Datavault AI believes will help facilitate adoption and drive growth for compliant platforms. Further, the U.S. collegiate NIL market alone is projected to reach $2.55 billion by 2026, up from approximately $1.67 billion in the 2024-25 academic year. ^[1] Internationally, the global sports sponsorship and endorsement addressable market was valued at $114.47 billion for 2025 and is forecasted to surge to $195.5 billion by 2032. ^[2]

Building on recent momentum, including the appointment of Hockey Hall of Famer Jeremy Roenick to lead NIL initiatives at Datavault AI, Datavault will seek to deliver regulatory-compliant, AI-optimized tokenization and trading of NIL assets across borders. Datavault AI believes that with the launch of the Platform it will be well positioned to seize a significant share of this multi-hundred-billion-dollar global opportunity for athlete representation and endorsements, driving revenue growth and stockholder value.
