Berliner Tageblatt - Datavault AI Reports Significant Institutional Ownership Growth as Platform Expansion Accelerates

Between the fourth quarter of 2025 and February 2026, several major asset managers significantly expanded their positions in Datavault AI. According to recent public filings, Vanguard increased its holdings from approximately 393,000 shares to 11.8 million shares. State Street expanded from roughly 335,000 shares to 10.0 million shares. BlackRock increased its position from approximately 136,000 shares to 4.1 million shares. These changes represent percentage increases of approximately 2,900%, 2,800%, and 3,000%, respectively.

Management views this increase in institutional participation as support for Datavault AI's execution strategy and long-term revenue potential. The ownership expansion follows a period of substantial operational growth. Leadership attributes this growth to expanding enterprise adoption, strategic acquisitions, and high-visibility commercial partnerships.

Recent platform expansion includes agreements with Sports Illustrated and NFL Alumni, extending Datavault AI's presence within premium sports media ecosystems. The Company also completed the acquisition of API Media, strengthening its media distribution capabilities and enhancing its data monetization infrastructure.

In addition, Datavault AI announced in 2025 a $150 million strategic investment from Scilex Holding Company, further reinforcing capital resources as the Company scales.

"Data is no longer just information. It's an asset class," said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. "We are building the secure infrastructure that enables enterprises and media platforms to capture, manage, and monetize that value at scale."

With increased institutional participation, expanding commercial relationships, and continued platform integration, Datavault AI positioned for heightened visibility and sustained growth across capital markets and industry channels in 2026.
