Datavault AI stock climbed sharply in premarket hours Tuesday after the company updated its financial outlook. Shares rose more than 33% before the market opened.
The move came after Datavault received $150 million in bitcoin from Scilex. This seed investment provides full funding for the company’s operational and capital needs going forward.
The AI-driven tokenization company raised its revenue expectations for multiple periods. Datavault now targets between $12 million and $15 million for the second half of 2025.
The company says it will meet or potentially exceed this range. Management also increased its outlook for 2026.
Datavault expects to generate more than its earlier projection of $40 million to $50 million next year. The updated guidance reflects several new revenue sources.
The Monday announcement included details about four new independent data exchanges. These Delaware-based corporations focus on different market sectors.
One exchange targets real-world assets. Another concentrates on sports and entertainment.
The third exchange handles corporate data monetization. The fourth deals with political donations.
Patent Portfolio and Revenue Drivers
Datavault highlighted growth in its intellectual property holdings. The company’s patent portfolio now includes more than 70 patents and filings.
These patents center on tokenomics industry creation. The company retained a premier intellectual property law firm for protection.
Management is considering enforcement actions. These actions are expected to start in Q4 2025.
The company pointed to several factors driving its revenue outlook. The industry is moving quickly toward tokenization solutions.
Datavault expects licensing opportunities from its intellectual property. ADIO® licensing deals contribute to projected revenue.
The company’s Platinum Partner status with IBM also factors into growth expectations. These combined elements support the raised guidance.
Datavault plans to expand its leadership team. The company intends to add prominent U.S. business executives and industry leaders to its board of directors and advisors during the current quarter.
Retail Sentiment Shifts

Message volume jumped to ‘extremely high’ from ‘high’ levels within 24 hours. The stock continued its rally into Monday’s regular session.
Shares closed up 49.3% on Monday. The combined premarket and regular session gains reflect strong investor response to the guidance update.
The $150 million bitcoin investment from Scilex removes funding uncertainty. Management confirmed the capital covers both operational expenses and capital expenditures.
Datavault specializes in data monetization through AI-driven solutions. The company’s business model centers on asset tokenization technology.
The four new data exchanges represent expansion into specific verticals. Each exchange targets a different market opportunity within the tokenization space.
Management expects these exchanges to transform how assets are tokenized across key sectors. The company positions itself as a leader in the tokenomics industry through its patent holdings.
