Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT), a technology company specializing in AI-driven data monetization, digital engagement, and credentialing solutions, has entered a strategic partnership with the World Boxing Council (“WBC”) to bring its patented engagement and data technologies to the global stage of professional boxing. This collaboration is designed to convert fan interactions into authenticated data assets with measurable commercial value, offering a scalable new revenue stream while expanding Datavault’s presence in international sports and entertainment.

Datavault’s agreement with the WBC is structured as a software licensing deal that will deploy several of the company’s core technologies, including its ADIO(R) ultrasonic engagement system, the DataVault(R)  data asset framework, its VerifyU(TM) identity and verification tools, and the Information Data Exchange (“IDE”) platform, across championship boxing events throughout this year. According to the announcement, the WBC sanctions major professional boxing events in more than 170 countries through broadcast and streaming partners, making it one of the most globally recognized sporting bodies in the world.

Under the terms of the arrangement, Datavault and the WBC will share event-driven revenue generated by ADIO and IDE activations on a 50/50 basis. This revenue-sharing model reflects a mutual commitment to unlocking commercial value from authenticated audience engagement, rather than relying solely on traditional broadcast or sponsorship arrangements. Datavault’s patented ADIO technology enables silent, ultrasonic engagement triggers, which, alongside other activation methods such as QR-driven interactions, can capture real-time fan participation across broadcast, streaming, social media and in-venue environments, feeding data into the IDE platform for compliance-ready analytics and commercial reporting.

“The WBC’s global footprint makes it a powerful partner for our ADIO and Information Data Exchange platforms,” said Datavault CEO Nathaniel Bradley. “We’re excited to deliver technologies that strengthen data integrity, improve reporting in real-time and expand the commercial value that can be created from authenticated fan engagement.

“This agreement allows Datavault to demonstrate and, just as importantly, monetize our patented technology in a globally distributed sports environment,” he continued. “The WBC collaboration aligns with Datavault’s core mission: turning audience participation into high-integrity data assets with measurable commercial value. As the demand for verified engagement accelerates across the sports and entertainment industries, we believe partnerships like this will compound and set an industry example.

The World Boxing Council, founded in 1963, has been instrumental in shaping modern professional boxing by setting global standards for competition, fighter safety, officiating and event regulation. Champions such as Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather have competed under its banner, and the council continues to be central to the sport’s worldwide popularity. By partnering with Datavault AI, the WBC will integrate advanced technologies to enhance how fans interact with events and how sponsors and rights-holders quantify and monetize those interactions.

This collaboration represents a significant expansion of Datavault AI’s real-world deployment strategy for its data-engagement technologies. The company’s platform is built to use authenticated engagement data, derived from verified audience behavior, as a foundation for monetization, attribution analysis, audience segmentation and enhanced sponsor reporting. When fans interact with content through ADIO triggers or scan QR codes associated with sponsorship activations, those interactions can be verified, timestamped and stored as digital assets within the IDE system. These authenticated datasets become valuable commercial tools for rights-holders, enabling more precise evaluation of fan engagement than traditional metrics alone.

In addition to sports, Datavault’s technology and business model are being applied across multiple industries seeking to monetize real-world assets (“RWAs”) and authenticated engagements. The company is currently in various stages of licensing negotiations with governments, corporations and organizations worldwide for tokenization of RWA assets, which could encompass a wide range of digital and physical asset types. Datavault’s cloud-based platform is designed to support secure data governance, identity verification and asset creation that can be used in AI automation, Web3 applications and digital marketplaces, enabling new economic models for intellectual property and digital asset monetization.

The WBC partnership highlights Datavault’s broader ambitions in the sports and entertainment sectors. As live events increasingly seek ways to enhance fan engagement and revenue beyond traditional ticketing and sponsorship, the ability to translate engagement into authenticated digital assets represents a compelling value proposition. For example, recent high-profile WBC championship fights have reached massive global audiences, including reported viewership figures of more than 41 million for one event, illustrating the scale of opportunity for tech-enabled engagement and monetization.

By integrating Datavault’s technologies into championship boxing events, the WBC and its commercial partners may gain deeper insights into audience behavior, improve sponsor ROI measurement and unlock novel revenue channels across digital and broadcast platforms. For Datavault AI, this partnership not only provides recurring licensing revenue but also serves as a high-visibility showcase of its technology in one of the world’s most-watched sports ecosystems.
