Datavault AI said its audit committee and management concluded that financial statements for periods from September 2025 through June 2026 should no longer be relied upon, because Bitcoin tied to a Scilex equity purchase did not qualify as a company asset. The company expects to reduce total assets across the affected periods and is reassessing its going concern evaluation, and it has not yet set a timing for restated filings.
The Scilex equity purchase, signed September 25, 2025, was valued at $150 million, payable in Bitcoin.
Expected total asset reductions are $8.1 million (September 30, 2025), $92.2 million (December 31, 2025), $57.1 million (March 31, 2026) and $49.0 million (June 30, 2026).
The company said it requested a Bitcoin withdrawal in June 2026 and, as of the filing date, has been unable to complete it.
The company cites Nasdaq continued listing compliance and its going concern status as risks, and says it may identify additional errors.
Datavault AI appointed Jeffrey Tirman to its board, effective October 12, 2026, filling the seat vacated by Wendy Wilson's resignation. NYIAX designated Tirman under the Merger Agreement for its acquisition by the company, and the filing says Wilson resigned to allow that appointment, not due to any disagreement. Tirman's appointment ties board composition to the NYIAX deal, and he holds 26 million DVLT shares through his family office.
