Datavault AI Considers Spin-Out of Acoustic Sciences as API Media

Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) has announced that management is evaluating a potential dividend spin-out of its Acoustic Sciences division into a standalone public company tentatively named API Media, with the reserved Nasdaq ticker symbol “ADIO.” The proposed transaction, which remains subject to board approval, definitive agreements, and regulatory clearances, aims to separate the company’s acoustic technologies and live events operations from its AI-driven data monetization business. Under the plan, Datavault AI shareholders would receive shares of API Media as a dividend, allowing both entities to pursue independent growth strategies. The Acoustic Sciences division encompasses the ADIO(R), WiSA(R), Event Citadel(TM), and API Media operations, and has recently deployed its technologies at high-profile events such as the Kentucky Derby and PGA Championship.

On the other side, Datavault AI’s Data Division has highlighted significant momentum, including $750 million in tokenization contracts signed during Q1 2026 and approximately $77 million in associated fees. The division is targeting at least $200 million in full-year 2026 revenue. The proposed spin-out is designed to unlock shareholder value by allowing each business to focus on its core strengths: the Acoustic Sciences division on spatial audio and live event solutions, and the Data Division on Web 3.0 data monetization and high-performance computing.
