Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement and real-world asset (“RWA”) tokenization technologies, and CyberCatch (TSXV: CYBE) (OTCQB: CYBHF), a cybersecurity company offering a patented, AI-enabled platform for continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation, have entered into a binding letter of intent under which Datavault AI will acquire 100% of CyberCatch in an all-stock transaction valued at about CAD $136.8 million.
CyberCatch is expected to operate as a Datavault AI subsidiary, with founder, Chairman and CEO Sai Huda serving as president of the subsidiary. The transaction represents a strategic move to integrate cybersecurity into Datavault AI’s existing suite of Web 3.0 and AI-driven solutions.
Datavault AI is leading the way in AI experience, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment. The company’s cloud-based platform provides comprehensive solutions with a collaborative focus in its Acoustic Science and Data Science Divisions. The Acoustic Science Division features WiSA, ADIO and Sumerian patented technologies and industry first foundational spatial and multichannel wireless HD sound transmission technologies with IP covering audio timing, synchronization and multi-channel interference cancellation. The Data Science Division leverages the power of Web 3.0 and high-performance computing to provide solutions for experiential data perception, valuation and secure monetization.
The acquisition of CyberCatch brings a patented AI-enabled platform for continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation, which will enhance Datavault AI’s ability to secure data assets and transactions. This is particularly relevant as businesses increasingly adopt digital twins and tokenize real-world assets, requiring robust security measures to protect sensitive information and ensure regulatory compliance.
For business leaders, this merger signals a growing convergence between data monetization and cybersecurity. Companies that leverage AI and Web 3.0 technologies must prioritize security to build trust and mitigate risks. The combined entity will be better positioned to offer end-to-end solutions that address both the value creation and protection of digital assets.
Datavault AI’s cloud-based platform serves multiple industries, including HPC software licensing for sports & entertainment, events & venues, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, energy and more. The Information Data Exchange (IDE) enables Digital Twins, licensing of name, image, and likeness (NIL) by securely attaching physical real-world objects to immutable metadata objects, fostering responsible AI with integrity. With CyberCatch’s cybersecurity expertise, these offerings are expected to gain enhanced security features, making them more attractive to enterprise clients.
The all-stock transaction structure aligns the interests of both companies’ shareholders and reflects confidence in the combined entity’s future growth. Investors should monitor the integration process and how the acquisition enhances Datavault AI’s competitive position in the rapidly evolving AI and cybersecurity landscape.
