Datavault AI Inc. and King Mining Capital announced a multi‑component transaction that combines a 5% equity stake in King Mining (with an option for an additional 5%) with a stock‑funded purchase of 20,000 ounces of physical gold bullion and the launch of a $150 million‑plus GoldVault™ tokenization program backed by King Mining’s high‑grade gold resources.
The equity investment will be paid in Datavault shares at a 30% discount to current gold prices, and the gold bullion will be delivered within 24 months. The transaction is projected to generate approximately $40 million in profit from the bullion acquisition, while the equity stake positions Datavault as a significant shareholder in a producer with a growing resource base.
The GoldVault™ program is slated to launch in Q3 FY2026. Tokens will represent ownership in the gold assets and may include a production‑linked royalty stream. They will be issued at a discount to spot price, providing investors with exposure to gold while leveraging Datavault’s real‑world asset tokenization platform.
The deal expands Datavault’s tokenization portfolio into precious metals, diversifying its asset base beyond data and creating a new revenue stream from token sales and royalty streams. It also strengthens the company’s position in the growing RWA tokenization market, which is projected to reach $30 trillion in addressable value. Tailwinds include a bullish gold price outlook of $4,900–$5,500 per ounce and the broader growth of the RWA market, while headwinds stem from Datavault’s current financial health—unprofitable operations, a low GF Score of 33/100, and the fact that the definitive agreement is still pending.
"This King Mining Capital transaction is the most fully integrated RWA structure Datavault AI has executed to date," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. "We are taking a direct equity position in the miner, locking in 20,000 ounces of physical bullion at a meaningful discount to spot, and giving GoldVault™ token holders a royalty stream tied to actual production." "Partnering with Datavault AI is a game‑changer for King Mining Capital. It validates our high‑quality gold assets, provides immediate access to global digital capital markets, and creates exciting new liquidity and upside for our stakeholders," added Jeffrey Katz, Managing Principal of King Mining Capital.
The RWA tokenization market is experiencing significant growth, with projections ranging from $30 trillion to $400 billion by 2030. Datavault AI has previously launched tokenization programs for copper and critical minerals, and the GoldVault™ initiative positions the company to capture a share of the expanding market while leveraging its existing platform and expertise.
