Recent Company History

Over the past week, Datavault AI issued multiple AI‑tagged updates, including IBM edge‑network deployments in New York and Philadelphia, a 100‑city expansion plan with multi‑billion revenue targets, and sports‑entertainment blockchain initiatives tied to Dream Bowl XIV. Despite these growth and partnership narratives, shares fell 12.55% on the January 8 IBM/edge news and 3.47% on the January 12 conference and expansion announcements. Today’s Fintech.TV integration extends this strategy into media and bias‑meter tooling.

Analysis

The stock dropped -10.3% in the session following this news. The decline reflects a continuation of recent patterns where positive AI‑related news, including the IBM edge rollout and 100‑city plans, preceded drops of 3.47% to 12.55%. Despite today’s Fintech.TV partnership showcasing patented bias‑meter and ADIO® engagement tools, DVLT already traded about 80% below its 52‑week high and under its $1.02 200‑day MA. An active Form S-3 resale registration and going‑concern risk disclosures may also weigh on sentiment.

Key Terms

tokenization, blockchain, stablecoin, ai, +4 more

8 terms

tokenization technical

"create permanent records of bias metered outputs that also can index, score and value that content through automated and edge present, cyber secure means."

Tokenization is the process of converting real-world assets or rights into digital tokens stored on a computer network. This allows assets, such as property or investments, to be divided into smaller parts, making them easier to buy, sell, or transfer electronically. For investors, tokenization can increase access to a wider range of investments and make transactions faster and more efficient.

blockchain technical

"including recent developments in blockchain bills, stablecoin rewards, and crypto market trends"

A blockchain is a digital record-keeping system that securely stores information across many computers, making it difficult to alter or tamper with. Think of it like a shared, unchangeable ledger that everyone can see and verify, ensuring transparency and trust. For investors, this technology offers a way to securely track transactions and assets without relying on a central authority, potentially reducing costs and increasing security.

stablecoin financial

"including recent developments in blockchain bills, stablecoin rewards, and crypto market trends"

A stablecoin is a type of digital currency designed to keep its value steady, often by being backed by traditional assets like money or commodities. For investors, stablecoins offer a reliable way to move money quickly across digital platforms without the value fluctuations common with other cryptocurrencies, making them useful for saving, trading, or transferring funds with less risk of sudden losses.

ai technical

"Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq:DVLT), a leader in AI-driven data valuation, monetization, credentialing, and digital engagement technologies"

Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables machines to mimic human thinking and learning, allowing them to analyze information, recognize patterns, and make decisions. For investors, AI matters because it can improve how businesses operate, create new products, or identify opportunities faster and more accurately than humans alone, potentially impacting company success and market trends.

web3.0 technical

"As we take the quantum leap to Web3.0 and AI integration redefines business models"

web3.0 is the idea of reshaping the internet so users can own and control their data, identities and digital items instead of relying on big centralized platforms; think of it like moving from renting an apartment to owning a share of the building. For investors it matters because new ways to buy, sell and earn — through digital tokens, shared governance and programmable contracts — can create fresh business models, revenue streams and risks tied to adoption, regulation and technology reliability.

edge ai technical

"These advancements build on Datavault AI's expertise in Web 3.0 data management, aligning with its recent expansions in edge AI networks"

Edge AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that process data directly on local devices or nearby servers rather than sending information to distant data centers. This allows for faster decision-making and real-time responses, similar to how a home security camera can instantly detect motion without needing to connect to a remote server. For investors, edge AI represents a growing trend toward more efficient, responsive technology that can create new opportunities across various industries.

bias meter technical

"The integration introduces a patented bias meter that analyzes media content in real time"

A bias meter is a simple tool or metric that measures the degree and direction of slant in information, models, or sentiment—for example whether news coverage, analyst commentary, or algorithmic signals lean positive or negative and by how much. Like a compass for judgment, it helps investors spot when information is skewed so they can adjust expectations, avoid one-sided decisions, and better manage investment risk.

tokenization platform technical

"By submitting this data to Data Vault, our patented tokenization platform we can also create permanent records"

A tokenization platform is a digital service that converts ownership or rights in real-world assets—such as property, shares, bonds, or art—into digital tokens recorded on a secure online ledger. For investors this matters because it can split expensive assets into smaller, tradable pieces, speed transfers, reduce middleman costs and increase transparency, much like turning a whole house into many sellable shares so more people can buy in or trade easily.

The integration introduces a patented bias meter that analyzes media content in real time, measuring potential biases and providing viewers with visual cues-such as color-coded indicators or overlay graphics-to highlight balanced reporting versus skewed perspectives.

Complementing the bias meter, Datavault AI's patented ADIO^® Inaudible Tones^® technology enables seamless polling and interaction. Embedded in Fintech TV broadcasts, these inaudible audio signals trigger mobile quick responses on viewers' devices, allowing real-time polls, feedback, and engagement without interrupting the viewing experience. This fosters deeper audience participation, such as voting on fintech topics or accessing supplemental data, while unlocking new monetization opportunities through targeted advertising and AI driven data insights.

"By combining our patented content rating system with Data Vault and ADIO^®, we're revolutionizing how news is consumed and verified," said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. "This integration with Fintech TV not only promotes fair and balanced reporting but also activates dynamic interactions that bridge viewers with the content in unprecedented ways.

We need tools to combat misinformation, propaganda, and bias best we can and we're proud of our work with Fintech.tv and our growing teams are focused on this initiative that has great promise and a genuinely needed solution it presents could change things for the better in news specifically."

These advancements build on Datavault AI's expertise in Web 3.0 data management, aligning with its recent expansions in edge AI networks and partnerships across industries like sports, entertainment, and finance. The AI driven bias meter and ADIO^®-enabled polling will launch in Fintech TV's programming pilot season, which runs from January through April with plans for broader rollout to enhance global fintech discourse, viewership and interaction.
