Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT), a company specializing in data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset tokenization, has entered into a binding letter of intent to acquire all outstanding shares of CyberCatch, a provider of AI-enabled cybersecurity platforms. The all-stock transaction is valued at approximately CAD $136.8 million. Under the agreement, CyberCatch will operate as a subsidiary of Datavault AI, with its founder, Chairman and CEO Sai Huda serving as president of the subsidiary.
The acquisition combines Datavault AI's expertise in AI-driven data valuation and monetization with CyberCatch's patented platform for continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation. This strategic move is expected to create synergies between data monetization and cybersecurity, addressing growing demands for secure data handling in Web 3.0 environments. CyberCatch's technology, which uses AI to monitor and mitigate cyber risks in real time, will complement Datavault AI's suite of solutions, including its Acoustic Science Division featuring WiSA, ADIO, and Sumerian technologies, and its Data Science Division focused on Web 3.0 and high-performance computing.
Datavault AI's cloud-based platform serves multiple industries, including sports and entertainment, biotech, fintech, and healthcare. Its Information Data Exchange enables digital twins and secure licensing of name, image, and likeness by attaching physical objects to immutable metadata. The addition of CyberCatch's cybersecurity capabilities is poised to enhance the security and integrity of these data transactions, a critical factor as AI and machine learning become more prevalent in asset valuation and monetization.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and shareholder votes. Upon completion, the combined entity will be better positioned to offer end-to-end solutions for secure data management and monetization.
