Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) has announced a strategic partnership with American Strategic Minerals Inc. (ASMI) to develop and monetize an Arizona-based resource extraction project through a $78.2 million digital tokenization initiative. Under the agreement, Datavault AI is eligible to earn up to a 20% equity interest in ASMI upon achieving performance milestones. The initiative will begin with tokenizing antimony—a critical U.S. defense mineral—followed by gold, copper, and silver, leveraging Datavault AI’s proprietary platforms to transform mineral assets into digital instruments.
This partnership aims to advance domestic supply chain independence and unlock value from a resource base exceeding $2.15 billion. By tokenizing these minerals, Datavault AI and ASMI seek to create new liquidity and investment opportunities in the critical minerals sector, which is essential for national security and modern technologies. The tokenization process will use Datavault AI’s Web3.0 platforms, including its Information Data Exchange (IDE), which enables secure digital asset creation and management.
Antimony is particularly significant as it is used in flame retardants, ammunition, and infrared detectors, and the U.S. relies heavily on imports. The project could reduce dependence on foreign sources, aligning with federal efforts to secure supply chains for critical minerals. The broader resource base includes gold, copper, and silver, which have strong industrial and investment demand.
Datavault AI leads AI-driven data experiences and monetization in the Web3.0 environment. Its cloud-based platform delivers solutions through Acoustic Science and Data Science Divisions. The Data Science Division harnesses Web3.0 and high-performance computing for data perception, valuation, and secure monetization across industries including energy and fintech. The Information Data Exchange enables Digital Twins and secure NIL licensing.
