Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) announced that management has begun evaluating a potential dividend spin-out of its Acoustic Sciences division into a standalone public company proposed to be named API Media, with the reserved Nasdaq ticker symbol “ADIO.” The move seeks to separate the company's acoustic technologies and live events operations from its AI-driven data monetization business.
The proposed transaction remains subject to board approval, definitive agreements, regulatory approvals, and other closing conditions. Datavault AI said the spin-out would allow shareholders to receive shares of API Media as a dividend while enabling both businesses to pursue independent growth strategies.
The Acoustic Sciences division includes the company's ADIO, WiSA, Event Citadel, and API Media operations. It recently deployed technologies at high-profile events such as the Kentucky Derby and PGA Championship. Meanwhile, the Data Division highlighted $750 million in tokenization contracts signed during Q1 2026 and approximately $77 million in associated fees, targeting at least $200 million in full-year 2026 revenue.
Datavault AI is leading the way in AI-driven data experiences, 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 Sciences and Data Science divisions. The Acoustic Sciences division features patented technologies for spatial and multichannel wireless, high-definition sound transmission, with intellectual property covering audio timing, synchronization, and multi-channel interference cancellation. The Data Science division leverages Web 3.0 and high-performance computing to provide solutions for experiential data perception, valuation, and secure monetization, serving industries including sports & entertainment, biotech, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy.
The proposed spin-out is a strategic move to unlock shareholder value by allowing each division to focus on its core strengths.
