Datavault AI Evaluates Dividend Spin-Out of Acoustic Sciences Division Into API Media

Datavault AI Inc. (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 proposed transaction remains subject to board approval, definitive agreements, regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, as the company seeks to separate its acoustic technologies and live events operations from its AI-driven data monetization business.

Datavault AI said the proposed 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 and recently deployed technologies at 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 as it targets at least $200 million in full-year 2026 revenue.

The decision to evaluate a spin-out comes as Datavault AI aims to unlock shareholder value by allowing each division to focus on its core strengths. The Acoustic Sciences division, with its patented technologies in spatial audio and wireless sound transmission, has established a presence in high-profile events. The Data Science division leverages Web 3.0 and high-performance computing for data perception, valuation and secure monetization, serving industries including sports, entertainment, biotech and fintech.
