PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT), a pioneer in AI-powered data valuation and tokenization, today unveiled plans for the highly anticipated Dream Bowl Draft, set to select top invitees for the Crusaders vs. Patriots matchup in the 2026 Dream Bowl presented by Scilex (Nasdaq: SCLX). This marquee event will culminate on Jan. 11, 2026, at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, where elite athletes will compete for the Dream Bowl Championship. Building on this excitement, Datavault AI will also host the professional Drone Racing and e-sports Championships, crowning the World Champion of Madden Football 2026 alongside two thrilling team e-sports titles. The first-of-its-kind collegiate bowl and e-sports event will showcase reigning world championship e-sports teams from around the globe, alongside the North American Madden 2026 champion, who will compete against the top contender for both prize money and the championship title.

Datavault AI remains firmly committed to shareholder value creation and continuous innovation. In collaboration with Scilex Holding Company, Datavault will commemorate the upcoming Dream Bowl 2026 through a special one-time distribution of the Dream Bowl 2026 Meme Coin to DVLT and Scilex stockholders of record as of Nov. 14, 2025, subject to board approval. Each holder will receive an exclusive commemorative digital collectible designed with utility features, including immutable proof of ownership, embedded ticketing details, and exclusive content related to invited athletes, game highlights, and event access. The handcrafted tokens will be air-dropped to Data Vault® wallets following final roster confirmations on or after Nov. 25, 2025, with the record date set on Nov. 14, 2025. The Company will provide further instructions regarding wallet setup, token access, and distribution procedures in a subsequent communication prior to the delivery date to ensure that all eligible shareholders can properly claim and view their tokens.

"This distribution not only rewards our loyal shareholders but also positions Datavault AI and SCILEX holders at the forefront of tokenomics and highly intelligent systems that recognize talent and achievement through new comprehensive screening criteria for bowl participation. Giving athletes skills, capabilities, and potential rating through DataScore® and then a stable coin valuation through DataValue® we’ve changed how data value can be captured, minted and ultimately monetized in an unlimited number of ways. Through our agents DataValue®, DataScore® and Data Vault Bank® mirroring the transformative asset tokenization strategies championed by industry leaders like BlackRock's Larry Fink and JPMorgan," said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO and Co-Founder of Datavault AI. “Our meme coin initiative has the potential to deliver tangible engagement in the upcoming Dream Bowl and is just another example of how we are crossing over into Web 3.0 where experiences are the real treasures in life and data is our new currency. We hope that every Dream Bowl recipient takes the time to learn about how data and AI can level long-standing uneven playing fields so that every person who is gifted, talented, or has the sheer grit and confidence to win can get their dream shot.”

Neil Malvone, CEO of Cutting Edge Sports Management and host of Dream Bowl XIV, states, "At CESM, we are redefining the future of sport through innovation. DatavaultAI's, groundbreaking AI-powered, tokenized draft for the Dream Bowl represents a game changing step—merging technology, transparency, and opportunity for college athletes. By integrating blockchain and artificial intelligence, we’re giving players, fans, and partners an entirely new, equitable way to experience the college showcase selection process. November 14 will be a landmark date for everyone who believes in smarter, fairer pathways to the next level of football."
