Datavault AI announced the issuance of two new U.S. patents on December 22, 2025, expanding its portfolio to more than 70 patents that cover blockchain‑enabled content licensing and tokenized monetization.
The patents protect smart‑contract systems that secure and monetize digital content and real‑world assets, enabling fractional ownership, instant settlement, and global liquidity for intellectual property and creative works. They form the technical foundation for the company’s planned Information Data Exchange, International NIL Exchange, and American Political Exchange.
In the third quarter of 2025, Datavault reported revenue of $2.9 million, up 141% from $1.2 million in the same quarter of 2024. The growth was driven by the Live Events segment, which generated $2.2 million, and the Components segment, which added $0.6 million. Despite the revenue increase, the company posted a net loss of $33 million, reflecting high operating expenses and fair‑value adjustments on debt.
CEO Nathaniel T. Bradley said the patents “strengthen our competitive moat and accelerate our leadership in the convergence of AI, blockchain, and RWA tokenization.” Chief Intellectual Property Officer Joshua Paugh added that the patents create barriers to entry and enable new licensing opportunities for the upcoming exchanges.
Management raised the lower end of its 2025 revenue guidance to $30 million and projected 2026 revenue to exceed $200 million, citing confidence in the monetization model and the expected launch of the exchanges. The company remains focused on reducing losses and improving liquidity, with a current ratio of 0.47 and a quick ratio of 0.30 as of Q3 2025.
The patents position Datavault to capture a high‑margin asset class by tokenizing data and IP, but the company must translate its IP advantage into revenue while managing significant operating costs. The dual focus on technological innovation and financial discipline will shape its trajectory in the Web3 data monetization market.
