Datavault AI Secures $120M for Massive Quantum-Ready GPU Edge-Network Expansion Across 100 U.S. Cities
  • Datavault AI Inc. has signed a binding term sheet with Scilex Holding Company for a $120 million cash contribution to fund a nationwide, 100-city, quantum-ready GPU edge-network expansion.

  • Deployment will leverage Available Infrastructure’s SanQtum platform, featuring zero-trust architecture, private sovereign cloud, and localized GPU resources.

  • Datavault AI has secured approximately $1.2 billion worth of Nvidia GPUs for the rollout, using Available Infrastructure’s micro edge data centers with zero-trust networking and quantum-resilient encryption.

  • The press release notes forward-looking statements and risks, including the need to execute definitive agreements, potential delays, regulatory considerations for tokenized assets, and other uncertainties.

  • The deal is planned to close in multiple tranches by the end of 2026, with definitive agreements to include standard representations, warranties, and conditions.

  • Scilex will participate in revenue sharing under a tiered structure, designed to preserve Datavault AI shareholders’ upside across the rollout.

  • Initial deployment targets New York and Philadelphia with go-live in Q2 2026, scaling to 25 locations in year one, 50 by year two, and 100 cities within 36 months.

  • Datavault AI’s CEO emphasizes that the financing is non-dilutive to existing shareholders, maintaining ownership stakes for DVLT and SCLX.

  • Available Infrastructure projects substantial revenue potential, suggesting $100 million to $1 billion per city annually and $10 billion to $100 billion total across 100 cities, though these are forward-looking projections.

  • Scilex will receive tiered revenue participation from network revenues: 30% until $250 million, then 15% up to $1.2 billion, and 5% thereafter.

  • Datavault AI has pursued a broad set of initiatives—including data monetization, tokenization of real-world assets, an NFL Draft ADIO deployment, and plans to list tokens on the Biconomy exchange—alongside a broader GPU network expansion.
