Over the past two months, Datavault AI issued multiple AI-driven partnership and financing updates. These include sports data monetization with a Hockey Hall of Famer on Dec 15, the Dream Bowl Meme Coin distribution announcement on Dec 11, and a WBC licensing deal plus a large Bitcoin-funded equity financing on Nov 26. Despite generally constructive narratives, each event saw negative or slightly negative next-day moves, framing today’s Dream Bowl broadcast and Meme Coin claim update against a backdrop of news-driven selling.
