January 23, 2026

Philadelphia, PA - Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT), a leader in data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement and real‑world asset tokenization technologies, today announced that it has closed its previously announced acquisition of API Media Innovation Inc., a provider of media infrastructure and event technology solutions.

API Media, headquartered in Randolph, New Jersey, has a decades-long tradition of providing innovative audio and visual technologies to the world of media, sports, and entertainment. API Media's clients include some of the most prestigious and sought-after sports venues and events, made possible through a dedicated and customer-first culture cultivated over decades.

"We are pleased to complete this acquisition, which marks a decisive next step in our strategy to scale Datavault AI's proprietary data-monetization ecosystem," said Nathaniel Bradley, Chief Executive Officer of Datavault AI. "API Media's iconic brand and expertise in multi-channel engagement, data overlay integration, and clutch on-the-fly automation is expected to strengthen our core platform, intended to enrich our culture, and predicted to enhance the value we deliver to enterprise clients through verified, tokenized data assets. This is a leap forward we wanted, and this is the team we have coveted. It's a dream come true."

"I am excited to join the Datavault AI family, which will allow us to bring our clients the most advanced capabilities in AI, analytics, and secure data monetization," said Frank Tomaino, President of API Media. "Datavault AI's technology stack transforms how organizations manage and monetize information-creating new revenue streams while maintaining transparency and compliance. Together, we seek to redefine what's possible in intelligent marketing and audience development."

"I am looking forward to working with Nate and his team at Datavault AI," said David Reese, CEO of API Media. "Looking back at my time as CEO of ACTV, a digital media company which formed synergistic relationships with News Corp, Liberty Media, Motorola and many others, I see the same opportunity to forge similar types of relationships with Datavault AI" added Reese. "API Media brings a strong culture of operational implementation, and I see my role as accelerating the gains that Datavault AI has made in the past year."

With the integration of API Media, Datavault AI gains expanded expertise in digital media operations, audience intelligence, and revenue analytics-positioning the company to capture increased market share across enterprise data, advertising, and AI-as-a-service verticals. The acquisition reinforces Datavault AI's role as a global leader in data monetization, blockchain tokenization, and AI-enabled experiential events.
