Datavault AI Inc. announced a proposed strategic partnership with Patriot Strategic Metals LLC to jointly develop the Strategic Materials Acquisition Platform (SMAP). This institutional digital infrastructure platform is designed to support the financing, tokenization, settlement, and lifecycle management of strategic mineral assets. The partnership aims to connect physical strategic mineral assets with institutional digital financial infrastructure to support industries such as artificial intelligence, semiconductor manufacturing, and defense.

The proposed Strategic Partnership combines Patriot Strategic Metals' integrated platform—covering mining interests, offtake agreements, refining, and supply-chain operations—with Datavault AI's patented real-world asset (RWA) tokenization technology and blockchain-based settlement capabilities. The SMAP intends to integrate RWA tokenization, commodity-backed institutional trade finance, digital escrow infrastructure, and smart-contract automation. This framework is designed to transform physical strategic mineral inventories into financeable digital assets while improving transparency and capital velocity.

Platform Development and Financial Scope

The Strategic Partnership would support Patriot Strategic Metals' broader procurement platform, which includes an arranged revolving procurement facility of up to $20 billion. This facility is structured as a revolving procurement funding source rather than a single funding commitment and is subject to definitive agreements and financing availability. It is intended to support the acquisition, storage, transportation, certification, insurance, and distribution of eligible strategic minerals.

Subject to financing availability and definitive agreements, the proposed partnership contemplates an initial Phase I platform development program of up to $700 million. This phase will support institutional trade finance, digital settlement, technology integration, and platform deployment. Within this framework, up to approximately $62 million is allocated for Datavault AI-related technology integration, licensing of digital RWA infrastructure, and implementation activities.

Revenue Opportunities and Profit Sharing

The partnership is intended to create diversified recurring revenue opportunities through services such as RWA tokenization, institutional trade finance enablement, digital settlement, and platform licensing. Datavault AI's technology is expected to support digital settlement workflows, compliance automation, and enterprise platform services as procurement activity develops.

Under the proposed framework, Datavault AI would participate in 25% of net distributable platform profits, creating the potential for recurring long-term revenue as commercial deployment expands. The companies intend to integrate the strategic metals value chain into a unified operating platform connecting mining ownership, refining, certified inventories, and institutional capital markets.

The Schall Law Firm is investigating potential claims against Datavault AI Inc. on behalf of investors concerning violations of securities laws. The investigation focuses on whether Datavault issued false and/or misleading statements or failed to disclose pertinent information. This legal scrutiny follows a report published by Wolfpack Research on October 31, 2025, which alleged that Datavault AI was a "stock promotion" relying on "empty claims" concerning artificial intelligence to support its share price. The report also questioned the validity of the company’s claims about activity on its blockchain marketplace.

Pomerantz LLP is also examining whether Datavault AI complied with federal laws in light of these allegations. The Wolfpack Research report contended that Datavault AI's press releases contained promotional buzzwords that did not reflect actual business operations. Additionally, the report alleged that the platform had virtually no trading activity and raised concerns regarding the company's leadership and affiliations. On this news, Datavault's stock price fell $0.49 per share, or 19.44%, to close at $2.03 per share on October 31, 2025.
