PHILADELPHIA, PA, Apr 8, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT), a leader in AI-driven data valuation, monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization technologies, today announced it signed $750 million in aggregate tokenization contracts during Q1 2026, generating approximately $77 million in associated fees covering banking, IP licensing, minting, and related services. These contracts support the Company's previously stated full-year 2026 revenue guidance of at least $200 million.

The $750 million in contracts signed during the quarter span four key asset categories, with tokenization fees as follows: copper and gold mining associated fees covering banking, IP licensing, etc. In conjunction with this activity, the Company also announced the planned relaunch of its core exchange platforms this quarter: the Information Data Exchange (IDE), Sports Illustrated Exchange (SIx), New York Interactive Advertising Exchange (NYIAX), and International Elements Exchange (IEE). The patented exchanges will feature enhanced AI-driven valuation, smart contracts, and transparent trading capabilities for data assets, advertising, sports NIL, and tokenized real-world assets, respectively.

"Securing $750 million in tokenization contracts during Q1 underscores the accelerating demand for our patented exchange technologies and real-world asset infrastructure," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO and President of Datavault AI. "The relaunch of IDE, SIx, IEE, and NYIAX with upgraded AI features, including CLEAR, WatsonX AI, and Fiserv integrations, will further drive value creation for our partners and stakeholders, and these contract signings reinforce our confidence in our full-year 2026 revenue guidance of at least $200 million."

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Apr 6, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a leader in AI-driven data valuation, monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization technologies, today announced that CEO Nathaniel T. Bradley will deliver high-impact keynote presentations at two premier European financial innovation events this spring.

On April 22, 2026, Bradley will headline CONV3RGENCE London & The Digital Commonwealth Awards 2026 at the historic Mansion House in London as Flagship Partner. One month later, on May 21, 2026, he will take center stage as Main Strategic Partner at AssetRush × Zurich 2026, GenTwo's flagship "festival of financial innovation" at Kaufleuten Zurich, delivering the opening speech and a major talk on the future of tokenized assets.

These back-to-back European keynotes build on Bradley's upcoming presentation at XRP Tokyo 2026 on April 7, where he will showcase the capabilities of Datavault AI's patented Information Data Exchange® (IDE®), DataValue®, DataScore®, and Data Vault Bank® AI Agent technologies to an international audience, highlighting data-driven RWA tokenization opportunities on the XRP Ledger.

"Europe is ready for the quantum leap into RWA innovation, and Datavault AI is bringing the breakthrough technology to make it happen," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. "From London's global financial powerhouse that is finding Web 3.0 to be the new economic engine away from perpetual debt models, to Zurich's fintech epicenter, we're demonstrating how our AI-powered platform delivers tokenized, transparent, and cyber secure ownership in real-world assets. From strategic minerals and precious metals to real estate and name image likeness, Europe is asset rich. These keynotes are more than speaking slots-they're launchpads for new partnerships, capital, and explosive growth across the continent."

At both events, Bradley will spotlight how Datavault AI's proprietary smart-contract infrastructure and AI agents are redefining RWA tokenization: creating verifiable digital twins, AI-driven valuations, and production-linked revenue participation that turn illiquid physical assets into 24/7 globally accessible digital securities. AssetRush × Zurich 2026, in particular, aligns perfectly with Datavault's momentum in tokenizing high-grade U.S. and international mineral resources, offering a prime stage to connect with European investors hungry for compliant, high-upside RWA opportunities.

These appearances cement Datavault AI's position as the go-to infrastructure provider for institutional-grade RWA tokenization and accelerate the Company's global leadership and expansion of patented systems across Asia, North America, and now Europe's most influential financial innovation forums.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Apr 3, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a leader in data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, today announced that CEO Nathaniel (Nate) T. Bradley will present and exhibit the Company's DataValue®, DataScore®, Data Vault Bank® AI Agent, and patented Information Data Exchange® technologies at XRP Tokyo 2026 on April 7, 2026, at Happo-en in Tokyo, Japan.

Bradley's presentation, "Data-Driven RWA Tokenization: Unlocking Japan's Trillion-Yen Opportunity on the XRP Ledger," will demonstrate how Datavault AI's platforms support secure, AI-powered tokenization of real estate, commodities, and other high-value assets in Japan's regulation-friendly market.

Japan has emerged as Asia's leading real-world asset tokenization market, with institutional platforms such as Progmat (MUFG-backed) managing approximately ¥440 billion (~$2.8 billion USD) in tokenized assets, primarily real estate and corporate bonds. Broader public STO (Security Token Offering) activity has reached the $1.3-2 billion+ range, with the sector projected to exceed ¥1 trillion (~$6-7 billion) by the end of 2026. Recent momentum includes MUFG's March 2026 launch of its ¥22.4 billion (~$142 million) Osaka Dojimahama Tower real estate security token, one of the largest single issuances to date.

"Japan's institutional adoption of tokenized real-world assets, combined with clear regulatory frameworks, creates exceptional opportunities for scalable licensing and customer partnerships," said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. "At XRP Tokyo, we'll demonstrate how our AI-powered data valuation and tokenization infrastructure can help Japanese institutions unlock liquidity in real estate, commodities, and other high-value assets. We're focused on building long-term commercial relationships across the APAC region that translate into meaningful revenue opportunities for Datavault AI."

Hosted by XRPL Japan as part of the TEAMZ Web3/AI Summit 2026, XRP Tokyo 2026 brings together developers, enterprises, investors, and institutions to explore real-world blockchain applications, including tokenization, payments, and digital asset infrastructure.

Datavault AI's participation builds on its growing momentum in RWA tokenization and reflects its strategic focus on APAC market expansion and international customer development.

PHILADELPHIA, PA AND WILMINGTON, DE, Apr 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT), an AI-driven data monetization, RWA tokenization, and Web 3.0 infrastructure company, and Demora Foundation, the Delaware-incorporated governing organization of the Demora Chain ecosystem (governed under JP3E Holdings Inc.), today announced the execution of a Technology Integration Agreement establishing Datavault AI as the formal AI data intelligence and RWA tokenization technology partner for the K-Entertainment & K-Wave Global Platform - the integrated K2Global + Demora Foundation ecosystem that converts Korean cultural IP, live entertainment, and K-Wave soft power into institutional-grade, on-chain financial products, deployed across three US Innovation K-Wave Cities: Atlanta (GA), Dallas (TX), and New York Tri-State.

K-WAVE AUDIENCE SCALE

The Agreement deploys Datavault AI's full enterprise AI stack - Data Vault®, DataValue®, DataScore®, and Information Data Exchange® (IDE) Digital Twin - as the AI data intelligence and RWA/VWA tokenization backbone of Demora Chain, purpose-built to score, value, credentialize, and tokenize K-Entertainment assets - including K-Pop concert revenues, K-Drama IP royalties, K-content digital rights, K-Beauty brands, and K-Food franchises - as yield-bearing instruments settled in DMR (apex RWA) and GMMT (VWA layer) on Demora's dual OP Stack Layer 2.

The K-Entertainment Opportunity - 200M+ Fans, $11B-$16B Annual Event Revenue, $3B+ Tokenizable Pipeline

The Korean Wave (Hallyu) is the most scalable cultural export engine in the world - and the foundational demand signal for the entire DVLT × Demora Foundation partnership. With 200M+ Hallyu fans across 156 countries generating over $40B in annual economic impact, K-Entertainment represents an institutional-scale, pre-qualified audience base no other RWA protocol can access.

K-Entertainment Audience & Tokenizable Pipeline - By Vertical

DMR-LIVE Protocol - K-Entertainment RWA Tokenization Engine

At the core of the DVLT × Demora Foundation partnership is DMR-LIVE - the K-Entertainment RWA tokenization protocol that converts live event cash flows (ticket receivables, venue revenues, VIP hospitality, IP/sponsorship contracts) into yield-bearing digital assets settled on Demora Chain. Datavault AI provides the AI data intelligence layer that makes DMR-LIVE institutional-grade.

DMR-LIVE - Projected Deployment & Deal Scale

K-Pop & Content IP - IDE Digital Twin & NIL Credentialing

On-chain digital twin representations of K-Pop artist brands, K-Drama IP rights, digital content royalties, and NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) credentials - enabling programmable IP monetization and VWA issuance on GMMT layer.

K-Entertainment Asset Valuation - DataScore® AI Agents

AI-based scoring and valuation of K-Pop artist tour revenue forecasts, K-Drama IP licensing streams, K-content streaming rights, and live event cash flow projections - providing the institutional-grade data oracle powering DMR-LIVE token pricing.

Franchise & Brand Asset Scoring - DataValue®

Comprehensive valuation scoring for K-Beauty brands, K-Food franchise systems, and K-Fashion design IP - preparing these assets for DMR-denominated RWA tokenization and cross-border distribution settlement on Demora Chain.

Entertainment & Sports Vertical - HPC Software Licensing

High-performance compute infrastructure for real-time K-Wave asset valuation, streaming rights scoring, and DMR-denominated tokenization at institutional scale - spanning K-Pop, K-Drama, K-Gaming, and K-Esports verticals.

Provenance & Compliance - Data Vault® + Web 3.0 Immutable Metadata

Enterprise data management and immutable provenance framework for K-Entertainment IP registrations, royalty flow traceability, and institutional-grade KYC/AML compliance aligned with Demora Chain's DMR settlement requirements.

Global Digital Infrastructure Platform - Three-Layer Architecture

The DVLT partnership operates across the three-layer JP3E platform architecture - with K-Entertainment as the lead vertical:

K-Wave Cities Deployment - DVLT Integration by Sector

The Technology Integration Agreement positions Datavault AI as the enterprise data intelligence and tokenization technology partner across all eight K-Wave growth sectors in three US Innovation Cities - with K-Entertainment as the flagship commercial vertical:

Statements

"Datavault AI was built for exactly this moment - when AI-powered data intelligence meets institutional blockchain infrastructure at a global scale. The K2Global Innovation K-Wave platform, with K-Entertainment as its flagship vertical, represents one of the most compelling real-world asset mandates in the market today: 200M+ Hallyu fans, $14B+ in K-Pop revenue, 500+ Korean SMBs, three US Innovation Cities, and a two-token blockchain architecture built for institutional settlement. Our Data Vault®, DataValue®, DataScore®, and Digital Twin platforms are the intelligence layer that transforms K-Entertainment IP - from K-Pop concert revenues and K-Drama royalties to K-Beauty brands and K-Food franchises - from illiquid cultural assets into scalable, liquid digital financial products. We are proud to be the technology partner of choice for the JP3E platform."

- Nathaniel Bradley, CEO, Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT)

"The Datavault AI partnership is a defining moment for the Global Digital Infrastructure Platform - and specifically for DMR-LIVE, our K-Entertainment RWA tokenization protocol. K-Entertainment is not merely one of eight K-Wave sectors; it is the cultural demand engine that drives all of them. With 200M+ Hallyu fans, $40B+ in annual K-Wave economic impact, and a $3B+ tokenizable K-Entertainment pipeline, DVLT's AI-powered data valuation, Digital Twin technology, and enterprise tokenization stack provide precisely the intelligence infrastructure required to convert Korean cultural IP into institutional-grade, on-chain financial products at global scale. Together, we are building the operating system for K-Wave infrastructure finance."

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Apr 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT) CEO Nate Bradley will present at a private investor round table on Thursday, April 02, 2026, at The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, marking his second invitation to the venue in two months following a strong institutional reception in February.

The invitation follows presentations Bradley delivered earlier this week to leading global attorneys on AI applications in legal practice and data governance. The return engagement comes amid growing institutional interest in Datavault AI's approach to data monetization, verified credentialing, and real-world asset tokenization. It reflects growing market recognition of Datavault AI's differentiated position at the intersection of data ownership, tokenization, and AI-enabled revenue generation.

The April round table builds on momentum from Bradley's February 11 Mar-a-Lago engagement, where the Company outlined $49 million in fourth-quarter 2025 tokenization and technology licensing agreements and projected fiscal 2025 revenue exceeding $30 million - representing year-over-year growth of more than 1,000% compared to fiscal 2024. Those discussions with institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and senior government officials generated sufficient interest to warrant a follow-up invitation.

Highlights

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Mar 31, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a leader in data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization technologies, and Coppercore Inc. ("Coppercore") today announced the closing of a definitive agreement to digitize and tokenize significant copper resources.

The transaction enables Datavault AI to deploy its patented IDE®, DataScore®, and DataValue® blockchain tokenization platform to create Coppercoin™ digital tokens representing pro-rata ownership interests in the underlying in-ground resources. The initial program targets the minting of $100 million or more in Digital Copper Tokens.

Coppercoin™ tokens are structured such that each token corresponds to five pounds of underlying high-grade copper resources, with pricing directly linked to the COMEX copper benchmark on a per-pound basis.

This mechanism provides fractional, transparent, and liquid digital ownership while aligning investors' returns with physical copper market dynamics and future production upside. The initial $100 million program is scheduled for launch by the end of the second calendar quarter of this year, making tokenized copper accessible to global investors around the clock.

Coppercoin™ introduces a new digital asset class that delivers market efficiencies and opportunities, including upgrade of processes and the future production of copper industrial products such as Cu concentrate, Cu cement, and Cu refined copper ("Cathodes").

Copper is the foundational metal powering the global energy transition, AI infrastructure, electrification, renewable energy systems, and decarbonization. Global copper demand is projected to surge dramatically - 24% by 2035 (Wood Mackenzie) and up to 50% by 2040 (S&P Global), driven by AI data centers, electrification, and global energy expansion, while supply constraints risk significant deficits. Traditional copper markets (primarily trade on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and Commodities Exchange Inc. (COMEX) remain complex and less accessible for many investors worldwide. Coppercoin™ changes this by offering transparent, fractional, and liquid digital ownership - tradeable 24/7 - providing global investors an easy, compliant way to participate in the copper market opportunity.

Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI, stated: "Today's agreement with Coppercore represents a major milestone in our global RWA tokenization strategy. By tokenizing copper resources, we are delivering institutional-grade, verifiable, and liquid digital ownership to investors while directly supporting the critical minerals supply chain that powers AI, electrification, and the energy transition. This partnership validates our patented platform as the benchmark infrastructure for compliant tokenization of strategic natural resources."

Antonio Treminio, CEO of Coppercore Inc., added: "Partnering with Datavault AI allows Coppercore, as an exploration, development, and production-oriented copper mining company, to accelerate value creation from our high-grade copper and silver assets through a modern blockchain structure. Coppercoin™ provides a compliant, 24/7 digital pathway for investors worldwide to own and trade copper exposure, capturing production upside as we advance toward commercial output."

The tokenized assets will leverage Datavault AI's proprietary smart-contract technology for verifiable ownership, AI-driven valuation, and future revenue participation rights tied to commercial copper production. This transaction further solidifies Datavault AI's leadership in tokenizing strategic natural resources and establishes Coppercoin™ as the benchmark for compliant, liquid digital mineral assets.

Vancouver, BC, Mar 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - The Tomorrow Company (“TMRW”) today announced the completion of its strategic merger with Carbon Distributed Technologies AG (“CUT”) and Plato Technologies Inc., forming an integrated Web3 infrastructure platform positioned at the convergence of artificial intelligence, tokenized real-world assets, and programmable climate markets.

The Company is launching with a clear conviction: the next decade of value creation in digital finance will belong to those who build and own infrastructure — not interfaces. Systems that are programmable. Intelligence that is embedded. Assets that are verifiable. Rails that institutions can scale on.

Global markets are entering a structural transformation. Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming embedded into capital allocation, enterprise operations, and regulatory oversight. Digital assets are evolving from trading vehicles into programmable utility frameworks capable of moving value instantly and transparently. Climate accountability is moving from narrative commitments to measurable, auditable instrumentation.

The Tomorrow Company is designed to operate at the intersection of these structural shifts — and to grow with them. The merger unites two powerful and complementary platforms.

CUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AG contributes a tokenized carbon utility framework structured around verifiability, traceability, and retirement mechanics. Built within Liechtenstein’s Blockchain Act framework and deployed on Ethereum Mainnet, CUT’s model emphasizes measurable CO₂ reduction linkage and immutable audit trails across issuance, transfer, and retirement. As regulators, institutions, and global enterprises demand higher standards of disclosure and impact validation, programmable carbon infrastructure becomes foundational to next-generation capital markets.

Paul Thomson, Co-Founder of CUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AG, commented:

“Tokenized commodities are moving from intention to instrumentation. For tokenized carbon credits, what matters now is verifiability—traceable assets, defensible controls, and retirement mechanics that stand up to real scrutiny. By integrating into The Tomorrow Company’s broader infrastructure platform, we believe we can accelerate adoption and bring institutional-grade carbon instrumentation to global markets.”

Complementing this climate utility layer is Plato Technologies Inc., which brings an AI-driven intelligence engine purpose-built to convert fragmented global data into deployable, decision-ready workflows. Plato’s vertically focused intelligence products are designed for repeat enterprise usage and global distribution, with an operating discipline centered on scalable infrastructure and cost efficiency.

Bryan Feinberg, CEO and Founder of Plato Technologies Inc., stated:

“AI is only transformative when it moves from insight to execution. This merger connects measurable data verticals with a distribution-driven intelligence engine designed to operate at scale. The opportunity ahead is not incremental — it is to embed AI directly into the infrastructure layer of emerging digital markets.”

The Tomorrow Company is structured as a diversified Web3 infrastructure holding platform with multiple reinforcing value engines. The strategy extends beyond a single asset class or vertical. Leadership intends to expand tokenized asset frameworks beyond carbon into additional real-world asset categories where verifiability and programmability unlock new liquidity. The Company plans to accelerate the deployment of vertical AI intelligence products across sectors where data fragmentation creates inefficiencies. It also intends to pursue selective acquisitions and integrations aligned with durable utility, regulatory alignment, and institutional capital flows.

Management believes that over the coming years, the convergence of AI and tokenization will redefine how capital is raised, allocated, verified, and measured. Markets will increasingly reward platforms that can demonstrate programmable accountability, embedded intelligence, and infrastructure resilience. TMRW’s long-term objective is to build a compounding portfolio of infrastructure assets that operate beneath market cycles — generating value through adoption, integration, and scale rather than volatility.

The Company’s growth roadmap includes expanding institutional partnerships, deepening blockchain-native infrastructure capabilities, and deploying AI systems that integrate directly into financial and enterprise workflows. As tokenized real-world assets and AI-native markets expand globally, The Tomorrow Company aims to position itself as a foundational infrastructure layer — enabling new asset classes, accelerating measurable climate action, and embedding intelligence into digital capital flows.

This launch represents the beginning of an expansion strategy, not its culmination. The leadership of The Tomorrow Company believes that the coming cycle will see a dramatic re-rating of infrastructure-layer platforms that combine regulatory alignment, programmable assets, and deployable AI systems. TMRW is entering the market with the ambition to help define that category.

About The Tomorrow Company

The Tomorrow Company is a Web3 infrastructure and digital asset holding company focused on building foundational rails for the AI-native financial era. Through strategic acquisitions, tokenized utility frameworks, and vertically deployable intelligence products, TMRW seeks to architect scalable systems designed for institutional-grade adoption and long-term compounding growth.

Upon closing, the merger is expected to result in the combined company being listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under a new ticker symbol, subject to satisfying certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of approvals from VerifyMe’s shareholders and the listing of the combined company’s common stock on Nasdaq. The boards of both companies have unanimously approved the signing of the Agreement. Regulatory filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Nasdaq, as well as shareholder approvals, are anticipated by the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary conditions and review processes. Additional details regarding transaction structure and timing are expected to be disclosed in future filings.

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by VerifyMe and Open World, including covenants that both parties exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transactions contemplated by the Agreement to be completed,, indemnification of directors and officers, and restrictions on VerifyMe’s and Open World’s conduct of their respective businesses between the date of signing of the Agreement and the closing.

VerifyMe’s board of directors has approved the termination of its at-the-market equity program, aligning capital structure considerations with the proposed transaction and long-term strategic priorities.
