Datavault AI Inc. and American Strategic Minerals Inc. have entered into a strategic partnership that will launch a tokenization program for U.S. mined and refined metals. The first tokenized asset will be antimony, followed by gold, copper, and silver, and the deal is underpinned by a $78.2 million investment from ASMI.
Under the agreement, Datavault will deploy its patented AI platform to create and manage a tokenized exchange, while ASMI will provide the physical assets and supply‑chain data. In return, Datavault is entitled to earn up to a 20% equity interest in ASMI once predefined performance milestones are met, offering a long‑term upside that aligns the two companies’ interests. "ASMI represents a uniquely American mining and refining operation focused on critical strategic minerals, precious metals, and rare earth elements. Tokenizing these assets – including antimony, gold, and other rare earth elements – through smart contracts powered by our patented platform marks a transformative step in modernizing resource infrastructure," said Datavault CEO Nathaniel Bradley.
The partnership builds on Datavault’s recent financial momentum. In Q4 2025 the company posted revenue of $39.1 million, a 1,362% year‑over‑year increase, and a gross profit margin of roughly 78%. It also reported its first profitable quarter and reiterated a FY 2026 revenue target of $200 million. The tokenization initiative is expected to accelerate revenue growth by creating new transaction‑fee and licensing streams that complement Datavault’s existing data‑monetization and credentialing services.
ASMI’s flagship antimony resource, located in Arizona, is valued at more than $2.15 billion and contains approximately 39,100 tonnes of antimony. The company’s focus on critical minerals aligns with U.S. supply‑chain security priorities, and the partnership positions Datavault to tap into a high‑value commodity market that has traditionally been illiquid.
"We are at the beginning of a powerful American‑led journey to build a fully integrated, homegrown portfolio of strategic metals, minerals, and rare earth elements. In Datavault AI, we have found our partner that shares our values and long‑term vision for the tokenization and the advancement of our commitment to responsible, clean mining practices," said ASMI co‑founder and president Craig Wiita.
The collaboration marks a significant expansion of Datavault’s real‑world‑asset tokenization strategy, potentially unlocking liquidity for critical minerals and creating new revenue streams that could help the company reach its ambitious FY 2026 targets. The partnership also signals a broader industry shift toward blockchain‑enabled asset management and positions both firms to benefit from the growing demand for transparent, secure, and efficient commodity markets.
