Datavault AI Announces Target to Expand its AI Driven Data Monetization Network to Over 100 Cities Across the Contiguous United States, Starting in the Second Half of 2026 with Corresponding 2027 Revenue Target

Datavault AI expects to have a fully operational network with over 100 nodes across 33 cities nationwide, generating revenue in the second half of 2026. Target revenue for this project is $400 to $500 million, thereby supporting the $200 million revenue guidance for 2026.

With the full deployment of Datavault AI's nodes across 100+ cities throughout the United States, the 2027 revenue target is $2.0 to $3.0 billion for 2027.

New York and Philadelphia edge network activation positions Datavault AI to potentially capture a significant share of the insurance and financial sectors, the healthcare industry, and enterprise opportunities.

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 12, 2026 / Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq:DVLT), a leader in AI-driven data valuation, monetization, credentialing, and digital engagement technologies, today highlighted the strategic importance of its New York and Philadelphia edge network deployment with Available Infrastructure's SanQtum AI platform. This GPU-powered, zero-trust edge infrastructure features national security-grade cybersecurity and enables instant data monetization - positioning Datavault AI to potentially address a multi-billion-dollar market opportunity of annual recurring revenue within the Philadelphia and New York metropolitan areas alone.

The Philadelphia and New York installation, part of Datavault AI's initial multi-city rollout and planned expansion to 100 cities nationwide in 2026, integrates SanQtum AI Enterprise Units directly into Datavault AI's patented Information Data Exchange^®, DataScore^®, and DataValue^® AI agents. Operating within SanQtum's private, quantum-resistant edge environment, the platform allows real-time data scoring, tokenization at birth, and enterprise-grade AI processing without reliance on public cloud infrastructure. This breakthrough capability has the potential to eliminate latency, reduce security exposure, and transform raw data into authenticated, tradable digital assets at the moment of creation.

Looking Ahead

Datavault AI and Available Infrastructure look forward to expanding this national rollout and supporting additional customer deployments that benefit from secure communications, secure storage, near-edge compute, and secure data processing. As coverage scales across the U.S., the companies expect the combined infrastructure footprint to help accelerate trusted tokenization, exchange, and valuation workflows by placing cybersecure edge nodes closer to where data is generated and decisions are made.
