1. | Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Datavault AI Inc., formerly known as WiSA Technologies, Inc., and before then Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries also referred to herein as “we”, “us”, “our”, “Datavault”, “Datavault AI” or the “Company”), was originally formed as a limited liability company in Delaware on July 23, 2010. The Company’s business is to deliver the best-in-class data management and monetization, as well as using wireless audio to transmit data and audio for consumer use. Datavault stands at the forefront of innovation, delivering cutting-edge Web 3.0 data management and high-performance computing (HPC) solutions to a global audience.
On May 20, 2025, the Company completed its previously announced asset purchase of technology assets, customer contracts, trademarks, and other intellectual property (collectively, the “CSI Acquired Assets”) from CompuSystems, Inc. (“CSI”). CSI is a provider of registration, data analytics, and lead management services for live events, offering customer support to clients in the trade, association, corporate, and government event markets. The results of operations of CSI are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 since the date of acquisition.
Nasdaq Compliance
Stockholders Equity Deficiency
On July 3, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Office of General Counsel of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”) as required by the Nasdaq Hearing Panel’s (the “Panel”) decision dated April 5, 2024 (the “April 2024 Decision”).
The Panel has determined to impose a monitoring period (the “Monitor Period”), pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B). If, during the Monitor Period, which lasts until July 3, 2025, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff (“Staff”) finds the Company again out of compliance with the Equity Rule, notwithstanding Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to such deficiency and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to such deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond and present to the Panel as provided by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C). The Company’s securities may at that time be delisted from Nasdaq. The monitoring period expired July 25, 2025 with no further action required by the Company.
First Bid Price Deficiency
On April 29, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (defined below) pursuant to Listing Rule 5550 (a)(2), as required by the April 2024 Decision. The Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of the letter pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B). If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Staff finds the Company again out of compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, notwithstanding Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and the Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810 (c)(3). Instead, the Staff will issue a delist determination letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened hearings panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. The one-year monitoring period has concluded with no further action required by the Company

Second Bid Price Deficiency
On May 6, 2025, the Company received a written notification (the “May 2025 Nasdaq Letter”) from the Staff that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) Minimum Bid Price Requirement, because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was below $1.00 per share for the previous thirty (30) consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The May 2025 Nasdaq Letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the common stock, which will continue to trade uninterrupted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker “DVLT.”
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted 180 calendar days from the date of the May 2025 Nasdaq Letter, or until November 3, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the bid price of the common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the matter will be closed.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day grace period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to regain compliance with such requirement during such second compliance period.
If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Common Stock will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Nasdaq Compliance Regained October 10, 2025
On October 10, 2025, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for the Company’s common stock. As previously disclosed, on May 6, 2025, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
The Letter states that for 10 consecutive business days from September 26, 2025 through October 9, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was at least $1.00 per share. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and this matter is now closed.
Reverse Stock Split
April 2024 Reverse Stock Split
On April 4, 2024, the Board approved a reverse stock split (the “April 2024 Reverse Stock Split”) of our outstanding shares of common stock and authorized the filing of a certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the April 2024 Reverse Stock Split. On April 12, 2024, the April 2024 Reverse Stock Split was effected and the condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted. All common stock share numbers, warrants to purchase common stock, prices and exercise prices have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the April 2024 Reverse Stock Split. The common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis at the start of trading on April 15, 2024. Unless otherwise indicated, the information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) gives effect to the April 2024 Reverse Stock Split.

Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not result in any change in previously reported net income (loss), total assets or stockholders’ deficit.
NYIAX
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment to correct misstatements related to the accounting for its investment in NYIAX Inc. within the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2025.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.
The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located throughout the world.

The Company had
The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, continued acceptance of the Company’s products, competition from substitute products and larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals.
The Company relies on sole-source suppliers to manufacture some of the components used in its product. The Company’s manufacturers and suppliers may encounter problems during manufacturing due to a variety of reasons, any of which could delay or impede their ability to meet demand. The Company is heavily dependent on a single contractor in China for assembly and testing of its products, a single contractor in Japan for the production of its transmit semiconductor chips and a single contractor in China for the production of its receive semiconductor chips.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount and are generally not interest bearing. The Company reviews its trade receivables aging to identify specific customers with known disputes or collection issues. The Company exercises judgment when determining the adequacy of these reserves as it evaluates historical bad debt trends and changes to customers’ financial conditions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings and capital lease liabilities approximates fair value based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans and capital leases with similar terms. The Company’s warrant liabilities and the convertible notes payable, net to a related party and the 2025 Convertible Notes (defined below) are the only financial instruments that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis.
Inventories
Inventories, principally purchased components, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using an average cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory in excess of salable amounts and inventory which is considered obsolete based upon changes in existing technology is written off. At the point of loss recognition, a new lower cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in the new cost basis.

Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting and filing fees relating to public offerings, are capitalized. The deferred offering costs will be offset against public offering proceeds upon the effectiveness of an offering.

Convertible Financial Instruments
The Company bifurcates conversion options and warrants from their host instruments and accounts for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.
When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options and warrants should be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.
Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized to interest expense using the interest method over the earlier of the term of the related debt or their earliest date of redemption.
Warrants for Common Shares, Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares, and Derivative Financial Instruments
Warrants for our common shares, convertible redeemable preferred shares, and derivative financial instruments are classified as equity if the contracts (1) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (2) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). Contracts which (1) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (2) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (3) contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception are classified as equity or liabilities. The Company assesses classification of its warrants for shares of common stock and other derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liabilities is required.

Revenue Recognition
The Company historically generates revenue primarily from two product categories which are the sale of consumer audio products (“Consumer Audio Products”) as well as the sale of components (“Components”). With the closing of the CSI acquisition, the Company also generates revenue from registration, data analytics, and lead management services for live events, such as trade shows and conferences, in both the corporate and government sectors (“Live Events”). The Company applies the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company considers customer purchase orders to be the contracts with a customer for Consumer Audio Products and Components. The Company also enters into contracts with customers for providing Live Events with terms of years. The contract typically terminates after the close of the last event specified in the contract, unless both parties agree in writing to extend it. There are no termination-for-convenience clauses in the CSI contract. Contracts can only be terminated for breach or non-performance and in that circumstance, the Company must be compensated for all services up to the date of termination. Therefore, a standard CSI contract is typically not shorter than its stated term.
Revenues on Consumer Audio Products and Components, net of expected discounts, are recognized when the performance obligations of the contract with the customer are satisfied and when control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer, typically when products, which have been determined to be the only distinct performance obligations, are shipped to the customer. Expected costs of assurance warranties and claims are recognized as expense.
Revenues generated from Live Events contracts have a single performance obligation, event preparation and management. A standard CSI contract contains fixed fees for services and pass through costs and other expenses that are variable depending on the number of supplies used or personnel costs incurred which are passed through to the client and are recognized on a gross basis in revenue as costs to fulfill the contract. The contract also includes rebates payable to the client which the Company estimates as variable consideration using the most likely amount method at the outset of the contract. The entire transaction price relates to the event preparation and management performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue as services are rendered using the input method. The Company uses the input method of labors hours expended as it provides the best depiction of the transfer of services to the client.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company for Consumer Audio Products and Components from a customer and deposited with the relevant government authority, are excluded from revenue. The Company’s revenue arrangements do not contain significant financing components.
For Consumer Audio and Components, sales to certain distributors are made under arrangements which provide the distributors with price adjustments, price protection, stock rotation and other allowances under certain circumstances. The Company does not provide its customers with a contractual right of return. However, the Company accepts limited returns on a case-by-case basis. These returns, adjustments and other allowances are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenue recognized. We believe that there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration.
If a customer pays consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional before we transfer a good or service to the customer, those amounts are classified as contract liabilities which are included in other current liabilities when the payment is made or it is due, whichever is earlier.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions
As part of our adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company elected to use the following practical expedients: (i) not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less; (ii) to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less; and (iii) not to assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer.

Restricted stock units give an employee an interest in Company stock but they have no tangible value until vesting is complete. Restricted stock units and restricted stock awards are equity classified and measured at the fair market value of the underlying stock at the grant date and recognized as expense over the related service or performance period. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of stock awards is based on the quoted price of our common stock on the grant date. Compensation cost for restricted stock units and restricted stock awards is recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period.
Crypto Assets
We hold crypto assets primarily for operational purposes and to support short-term liquidity needs within our normal operating cycle. These crypto assets are received and used in the ordinary course of business, including to settle vendor payments or facilitate customer-related transactions. We reasonably expect to convert such assets to cash or utilize them in operations within a short period of time, typically within one year. All of our crypto assets are held in Bitcoin. Consistent with this intent and realization pattern, we have classified all crypto assets as current assets in our consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 210-10 and ASC 350-60.
We do not hold crypto assets for long-term investment, speculative, or collateral purposes, and we do not engage in trading or financing activities involving crypto assets. Our crypto asset holdings are considered less liquid than cash and cash equivalents and may not serve as an equivalent source of liquidity during periods of market stress.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred and include salaries, consulting expenses and an allocation of facility costs.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expenses as incurred. Advertising costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss represents the changes in equity of an enterprise, other than those resulting from stockholder transactions. Accordingly, comprehensive loss may include certain changes in equity that are excluded from net loss. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s comprehensive loss is the same as its net loss.
Foreign Currency
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign operations are measured using currencies other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currencies. Accordingly, for these operations all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates as of the respective balance sheet date. Expense items are translated using the weighted average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Cumulative gains and losses from the translation of these operations’ financial statements are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, while foreign currency transaction gains or losses, resulting from re-measuring local currency to the U.S. dollar are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in other income (expense), net and were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Net Loss per Common Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers all series of convertible preferred stock to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the convertible preferred stock as the holders of the convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company. Under the two-class method, net income would be attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights.
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net loss per common share calculation, Series A

Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is “more-likely-than-not” that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has recognized valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The Company uses a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting, and disclosing in the condensed consolidated financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more-likely-than-not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recognized

Costs to Fulfill Contracts
The Company capitalizes certain pre-show indirect costs that are incurred to fulfill customer contracts when those costs relate directly to the contract, generate or enhance resources that will be used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recoverable. Capitalized costs primarily include indirect pre-show setup activities, such as venue deposits, equipment preparation, design and technical pre-production efforts, and other pre-show fulfillment activities. The Company expenses all direct costs related to the execution of the show and all post-show costs as incurred, as those activities do not meet the criteria for capitalization under ASC 340-40.
Capitalized pre-show costs are amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer of the related services to the customer, which the Company determines based on the percentage of completion of each contract. For example, if a contract is 20% complete as of the reporting date, 20% of the associated capitalized indirect pre-show costs are amortized. Amortization of costs to fulfill a contract is recorded in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
At September 30, 2025, the balance of capitalized costs to fulfill contracts was $
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to help investors better understand an entity’s exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and the ensuing risks and opportunities. Furthermore, the update improves disclosures used to assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions. The update is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis but does not impact interim financial statements. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2025 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60) (“new crypto assets standard”). The new crypto assets standard requires certain crypto assets to be measured at fair value separately on the balance sheet with changes reported in the statement of operations each reporting period. The new crypto assets standard also enhances the other intangible asset disclosure requirements by requiring the name, cost basis, fair value, and number of units for each significant crypto asset holding. The Company first received crypto assets during the third quarter of 2025 and therefore adopted ASU 2023-08 as of that date. Because the Company had no crypto asset holdings prior to that period, no retrospective application or recast of prior-period financial statements was required. The adoption did not have an impact on previously reported results.
ASU 2025-06 Internal-use software issued in September 2025, ASU 2025-06 updates guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to streamline accounting for internal-use software, particularly for agile development methods. This change was a priority for stakeholders who found it difficult to differentiate project stages for capitalizing development costs in iterative environments.
ASU 2025-05 Measurement of credit losses published in July 2025, this ASU improves guidance for measuring credit losses on accounts receivable and contract assets. It offers optional guidance to address challenges entities faced applying Topic 326 to these assets. This update aims to simplify the process for entities, such as private companies, that found it complex to develop reasonable forecasts for credit loss estimation.

ASU 2024-04 Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments: The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the annual reporting period for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The interim effective date was amended by Update 2025-01 “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Clarifying the Effective Date” (“ASU 2025-01”), clarifying the interim reporting date when an entity must adopt ASU 2024-03. According to ASU 2025-01, ASU 2024-03 is effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company has reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and concluded they are either not applicable to the business, or no material effect is expected on the consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $
Based on current operating levels, the Company will need to raise additional funds in the next 12 months by selling additional equity or incurring debt. To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily through sales of its securities in public and private markets, proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock and the sale of convertible notes. Additionally, future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of revenue growth, the selling price of the Company’s products, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and the continuing market acceptance of the Company’s products. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months from the date of this Report.
Management of the Company intends to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or debt. There can be no assurance that, in the event the Company requires additional financing, such financing will be available at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital and reduce discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. As a result, the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

6. | Fair Value Measurements |
The Company measures the fair value of financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Each level of input has different levels of subjectivity and difficulty involved in determining fair value.
| ● | Level 1 – Inputs used to measure fair value are unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Therefore, determining fair value for Level 1 investments generally does not require significant judgment, and the estimation is not difficult. |
| ● | Level 2 – Pricing is provided by third-party sources of market information obtained through investment advisors. The Company does not adjust for or apply any additional assumptions or estimates to the pricing information received from its advisors. |
| ● | Level 3 – Inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions. The determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments involves the most management judgment and subjectivity. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 by level within the fair value hierarchy, are as follows: |

9. | Income Taxes |
The Company recorded
For interim periods, the Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate and applies the estimated rate to the year-to-date income or loss before income taxes. The Company also computes the tax provision or benefit related to items reported separately and recognizes the items net of their related tax effect in the interim periods in which they occur. The Company also recognizes the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates in the interim periods in which the changes occur.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company retains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. The realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets depends primarily on its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable in future periods may change as management continues to reassess the underlying factors it uses in estimating future taxable income.
The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was calculated on a jurisdiction basis.

Operating Leases
The Company leases office space under a non-cancellable operating lease that expired in and had an option to renew this lease, with renewal rates to be negotiated. Operating lease rentals are expensed on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease beginning on the date we take possession of the property. At lease inception, we determine the lease term by assuming the exercise of those renewal options that are reasonably assured. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The lease term is used to determine whether a lease is financing or operating and is used to calculate straight-line rent expense. Additionally, the depreciable leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term. Leases with an initial term of

Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings. The Company will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of a possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.
The Company’s management does not believe that any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company anticipates accounting for any completed transaction as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations.

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $2.9 million, an increase of $1.7 million or 148% compared to the revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $1.2 million. The increase was a result of the acquisition of CSI.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $5.3 million, an increase of $3.5 million or 197% compared to the revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $1.8 million. The increase was a result of the acquisition of CSI.

The gross profit as a percent of sales was 3% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the gross profit of 19% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in gross profit is due to the inclusion of lower-margin revenue as a result of the acquisition of CSI.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $199,000 compared to a gross profit of $154,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The gross profit as a percent of sales was 4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the gross profit of 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $5.0 million, an increase of $2.8 million, compared to the research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $2.2 million. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily driven by IBM Watsonx AI subscription licenses of $2.2 million and higher stock-based compensation of $1.1 million, offset partially by decreases in research and development expenses due to the adjustment related to the acquisition of NYIAX assets of $0.5 million.
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $11.6 million, an increase of $5.9 million compared to the research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $5.7 million. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily driven by IBM Watsonx AI subscription licenses of $2.2 million, the increase in research and development expenses of $1.3 million related to the acquisition of NYIAX assets, NFL Alumni license and Brookhaven National Laboratory research, higher headcount resulting in increased salaries, wages, benefits, and stock-based compensation of $1.9 million, and legal expenses related to intellectual property of $0.4 million.

59

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $7.7 million, an increase of $5.4 million compared to general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $2.3 million. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily driven by higher amortization of intangibles assets of $2.7 million related to the Data Vault asset acquisition that closed on December 31, 2024 and IP acquisitions from Turner Global Media LLC and Web Access LLC closed in July 2025, an increase in headcount resulting in increased salaries and wages, commissions, benefits and stock-based compensation of $1.5 million, increased consulting and legal expenses of $0.7 million and $0.5 million respectively.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $19.8 million, an increase of $13.3 million, compared to the general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $6.5 million. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily driven by higher amortization of intangibles assets of $7.5 million related to the Data Vault asset acquisition that closed on December 31, 2024 and IP acquisitions from Turner Global Media LLC and Web Access LLC closed in July 2025, an increase in headcount resulting in increased salaries and wages, commissions, benefits and stock-based compensation of $3.5 million, increased consulting expense of $1.6 million, increased legal and accounting fees of $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively, offset partially by decreases in investor relations of $0.4 million.
Interest expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.9 million, an increase of $0.9 million compared to the interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $9,000. Interest expense increased due to an increase in borrowings.
Interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $18.2 million, an increase of $16.9 million compared to the interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $1.3 million. The increase in interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, is due to the issuance of the Additional Warrants with the 2025 Notes fair value at issuance of $16.7 million and increased borrowings.
Change in fair value of convertible notes measured at fair value increased to $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to none for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to the issuance of the 2025 Notes and recording the issuance fair value of $10.8 million, including original issue discount of $1.3 million and fees of $1.0 million.
Change in fair value of convertible notes measured at fair value increased to $19.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to none for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to the issuance of the 2025 Notes and recording the issuance fair value of $19.6 million, including the original issue discount of $3.0 million and fees of $2.3 million.
Change in fair value of convertible note to related party measured at fair value increased to $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to none in the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to an increase in the DV Note fair value of $1.1 million.
Change in fair value of convertible note to related party measured at fair value increased to a gain of $0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to none in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to an increase in the DV note fair value of the note of $1.1 million offset by a decrease in the DV note fair value of $1.3 million.
Change in other income, net increased to income of $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 for an increase of $0.2 million over the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to the unrealized gain on the fair value of bitcoin intangible assets at September 30, 2025.
60
Debt Extinguishment
Debt extinguishment expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $5.8 million due to the extinguishment of the convertible notes issued in April and May 2025 with the issuance of the convertible notes in August. The Company recognized the pre-modification fair value and the post modification incremental fair value change in the April and May notes due to the decrease in the alternative conversion feature and recorded $2.1 million in expense and the exchange of 30,738,449 outstanding warrants held by the holders of the April and May notes for common stock for which the Company recognized the incremental fair value of $3.7 million.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability
Change in fair value of warrant liability for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was zero compared to a loss of $6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Change in fair value of warrant liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was a gain of $19,000 compared to a loss of $29,120,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The change in fair value of the warrant liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due to the issuance of additional warrants to purchase 5,602,693 shares of common stock and the subsequent valuing of such warrants. The additional warrants were issued as a result of provision in certain of the warrant agreements that was triggered following the Company’s reverse stock split that occurred in April 2024. There was no such activity in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 were $1.7 million compared to $3.3 million, as of December 31, 2024.
We recorded a net loss of $33.0 million and $79.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and used net cash in operating activities of $23 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 vs $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding non-cash adjustments, the primary reasons for the increase in the use of net cash from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was related to an increase in the net loss.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 totaled approximately $28.1 million and $17.1 million, respectively.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 totaled approximately $6.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The increase was due to the acquisition of CSI on May 20, 2025.
We have financed our operations to date primarily through the issuance of equity securities, proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock and sale of debt instruments. In August 2025 and September 2025, we received $5.5 million and $6 million in proceeds from the issuance of the Q3 2025 Notes. In April 2025 and May 2025 we received $4.5 million and $9.2 million in proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes. In February 2025, we received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.4 million in our registered direct offering. In January 2024, we received gross proceeds of $600,000 from the issuance of promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants to certain accredited investors. In February 2024, we received gross proceeds of approximately $10.0 million from the public offering of 1,025,600 units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and one warrant, each to purchase one (1) share of common stock. In March 2024 we received gross proceeds of approximately $2.3 million from the issuance of 417,833 shares of common stock, 93,342 pre-funded common stock warrants and the issuance of 511,175 warrants to purchase common stock. We will need to raise additional proceeds via the issuance of equity securities and/or the sale of debt instruments in the remainder of 2025 and 2026 to fund operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
61
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
62
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, or any of our subsidiaries in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results, or financial condition.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure required under this Item 1A.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with a certain investor, pursuant to which the Company is offering an aggregate of 284,091 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Subscription Securities”) in a private placement, for an aggregate subscription amount of $250,000.08.
