PHILADELPHIA, PA, Apr 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a leader in AI-driven data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, today announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,596,819 and Notices of Allowance on two additional U.S. patent applications. This milestone builds directly on the Company's December 2025 issuance of two foundational patents for blockchain-driven content licensing and tokenized monetization - further expanding its robust intellectual property portfolio headlined by the industry-defining Carbon Credit Tokenization Patent.Key Highlights for InvestorsOne newly issued patent and two Notices of Allowance extend protection across three high-value platforms: AI-validated data valuation & monetization, tokenized virtual location funding, and automated tax return preparation for digital assets and DeFi-directly addressing 1099-DA compliance challenges.Reinforces the Company's Sumerian® Crypto Anchors, DataValue®, DataScore®, and Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) technologies with quantum-resistant encryption and blockchain immutability, underpinning a growing pipeline of tokenization contracts and licensing deals.Arrives as the first full IRS Form 1099-DA filing season closes amid reported operational hurdles-including late deliveries by Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini-demonstrating clear demand for Datavault AI's automated, tokenized tax solutions.Enabled use cases include tokenized commodities (copper, gold, precious metals), agricultural/genomic/healthcare data assets, NIL digital twins, funded virtual biotech marketplaces, and intelligent tax automation-integrating natively with the Company's edge GPU fleet and HPC infrastructure.Directly supports Datavault AI's 2026 revenue target of at least $200 million, accelerates commercialization across fintech, healthcare, biotech, energy, agriculture, sports & entertainment, and Web3, and opens new licensing and partnership opportunities.Scope of the Latest ProtectionsU.S. Patent No. 12,596,819 - "Method and System for Data Valuation and Secure Commercial Monetization Platform" (issued): Covers an end-to-end permissioned platform spanning opt-in data contribution, AI-driven automated valuation, blockchain-tokenized storage in the Datavault®, and trading on open exchanges with flexible compensation pathways (sales, licenses, rewards, charitable contributions).U.S. Patent Application No. 17/842,220 - "System and Method for Funding a Virtual Location" (Notice of Allowance): Protects the funding, authentication, and tokenized operation of organization-specific virtual locations, including multi-currency donations, integrated event and asset tokenization, portfolio-aligned advertising, and compensation mechanisms for data contributors.U.S. Patent Application No. 17/507,459 - "Platform and Method for Preparing a Tax Return" (Notice of Allowance): Covers automated tax return preparation for clients and employees, with specialized tokenized return handling for digital asset and DeFi activity, back-end form processing, and dynamic adjustment to evolving tax codes-precisely targeting the reconciliation burdens and visibility gaps plaguing the inaugural 1099-DA season.Market Context & TailwindsThe filings position Datavault AI at the convergence of three rapidly expanding markets. Tokenized real-world assets have already surpassed $30 billion in on-chain value (RWA.xyz 2025 data), with Boston Consulting Group and ADDX projecting the global market to exceed $16 trillion by 2030. The global data monetization market is forecast to grow from $7.53 billion in 2024 to $18.8 billion by 2033 (10.7% CAGR, SkyQuest Technology). The new tax-preparation patent arrives precisely as U.S. taxpayers navigate the first full season under the IRS Form 1099-DA digital asset broker reporting regime-where gross proceeds reporting began January 1, 2025, and basis reporting for certain transactions took effect January 1, 2026-amid well-documented industry friction around late broker filings and cross-wallet/chain/DeFi reconciliation.Investor Implications & Strategic OutlookCollectively, the issued patents and allowed applications extend IP coverage around innovations that transform raw data into tokenized, tradable assets and enable transparent funding, monetization, and automated tax handling of virtual environments and digital asset portfolios. These technologies are expected to integrate seamlessly with Datavault AI's anticipated edge GPU fleet and high-performance computing infrastructure, accelerating AI valuation processing and tokenization contract execution."Securing this issued patent and receiving Notices of Allowance on two additional applications validates our leadership in turning intangible data into verifiable, monetizable capital, and in enabling organizations to fund and operate virtual worlds with full transparency and user compensation," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Datavault AI. "These filings deepen our competitive moat and accelerate our path to capturing meaningful share in the data asset, real-world asset, and digital asset tax-preparation markets-directly fueling our $200 million 2026 revenue target and expanding pipeline of tokenization contracts."For additional insight into Datavault AI's growth strategy, commercialization roadmap, and long-term vision for unlocking value from data and intellectual property through tokenization and licensing, investors are encouraged to view the recent Nasdaq interview with CEO Nathaniel Bradley, hosted by Tech Edge and now available at https://vimeo.com/1176174810About Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI™ (NASDAQ:DVLT) is a pioneer in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment.

宾夕法尼亚州费城, 2026年4月22日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc.（“Datavault AI”或“公司”） （纳斯达克代码：DVLT），作为人工智能驱动的数据变现、资质认证、数字互动及现实世界资产（“RWA”）通证化技术的领导者，今日宣布获得美国专利第12,596,819号，并收到两项美国专利申请的准予通知。这一里程碑直接延续了公司于2025年12月获得的两项基础专利——区块链驱动的内容授权及代币化变现专利，进一步扩展了其强大的知识产权组合，其中以行业标杆性的碳信用代币化专利为代表。投资者关注要点一项新颁发的专利和两份准予通知书将保护范围扩展至三个高价值平台：AI验证的数据估值与变现、代币化虚拟位置融资，以及数字资产和DeFi的自动化纳税申报准备——直接解决了1099-DA合规挑战。通过抗量子加密和区块链不可篡改性，强化了公司的Sumerian®加密锚、DataValue®、DataScore®及信息数据交换®（IDE®）技术，为日益增长的代币化合约和授权协议提供了坚实支撑。该产品问世之际，正值首个完整的 IRS 1099-DA 申报季结束，此前据报道存在运营障碍——包括 Coinbase、Kraken 和 Gemini 的数据提交延迟——这充分证明了市场对 Datavault AI 自动化、代币化税务解决方案的明确需求。支持的应用场景包括代币化大宗商品（铜、黄金、贵金属）、农业/基因组/医疗数据资产、NIL数字孪生、资金支持的虚拟生物技术市场，以及智能税务自动化——这些功能可与公司的边缘GPU集群和HPC基础设施原生集成。该技术直接支撑Datavault AI实现2026年至少2亿美元营收的目标，加速其在金融科技、医疗保健、生物技术、能源、农业、体育娱乐及Web3领域的商业化进程，并开辟新的授权与合作机遇。最新专利保护范围美国专利号 12,596,819 - “数据估值与安全商业变现平台的方法及系统”（已授权）：涵盖端到端的许可型平台，涵盖自愿数据贡献、AI驱动的自动化估值、在Datavault®中的区块链代币化存储，以及在开放交易所上的交易（支持销售、许可、奖励、慈善捐赠等多种灵活的补偿途径）。美国专利申请号 17/842,220 - “虚拟位置融资系统及方法”（准予通知）：保护针对特定组织的虚拟位置的融资、认证及代币化运营，包括多币种捐赠、集成式活动与资产代币化、与投资组合匹配的广告，以及面向数据贡献者的补偿机制。美国专利申请号 17/507,459 - “报税准备平台及方法”（准予通知）：涵盖为客户和员工提供的自动化报税准备服务，包含针对数字资产和DeFi活动的专用代币化报税处理、后端表单处理，以及对不断变化的税法进行的动态调整——精准解决困扰首个1099-DA申报季的对账负担和可见性缺口。市场背景与利好因素这些专利申请使 Datavault AI 处于三个快速扩张市场的交汇点。代币化的现实世界资产（RWA）的链上价值已超过 300 亿美元（RWA.xyz 2025 年数据），波士顿咨询集团（BCG）和 ADDX 预测，到 2030 年全球市场规模将超过 16 万亿美元。全球数据货币化市场预计将从2024年的75.3亿美元增长至2033年的188亿美元（年复合增长率10.7%，SkyQuest Technology）。这项新的税务申报专利恰逢美国纳税人正经历美国国税局（IRS）1099-DA表数字资产经纪商申报制度实施后的首个完整纳税年度——其中总收入申报自2025年1月1日开始，特定交易的成本基础申报将于2026年1月1日生效——而行业内关于经纪商申报延迟以及跨钱包/跨链/跨DeFi对账的摩擦问题已广受关注。对投资者的影响与战略展望总体而言，已获授权的专利和获准的专利申请扩展了知识产权的覆盖范围，涵盖了将原始数据转化为代币化、可交易资产的创新技术，并实现了虚拟环境及数字资产组合的透明融资、变现和自动化税务处理。预计这些技术将与 Datavault AI 计划部署的边缘 GPU 集群和高性能计算基础设施无缝集成，从而加速 AI 估值处理和代币化合约的执行。“获得这项已授权专利并收到另外两项申请的准予通知，印证了我们在将无形数据转化为可验证、可变现资本方面的领导地位，以及在帮助组织以完全透明且用户可获补偿的方式为虚拟世界提供资金并运营方面的优势，”Datavault AI创始人兼首席执行官纳撒尼尔·T·布拉德利（Nathaniel T. Bradley）表示。“这些专利申请深化了我们的竞争护城河，并加速了我们在数据资产、实物资产及数字资产税务准备市场中抢占重要份额的进程——这将直接推动我们实现2026年2亿美元的营收目标，并扩大代币化合约的储备。”如需进一步了解 Datavault AI 的增长战略、商业化路线图，以及通过代币化和授权释放数据与知识产权价值的长期愿景，建议投资者观看 Tech Edge 近期对首席执行官纳撒尼尔·布拉德利（Nathaniel Bradley）的纳斯达克专访，该视频现已发布于 https://vimeo.com/1176174810 关于 Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI™（纳斯达克代码：DVLT）是 Web 3.0 环境中人工智能驱动的数据体验、资产估值及货币化领域的先驱。公司基于云的平台通过其声学科学和数据科学两大部门提供全面解决方案。Datavault AI的声学科学部门拥有WiSA®、ADIO®和Sumerian®等专利技术，专用于空间及多声道无线高清音频传输。数据科学部门则利用Web 3.0和高性能计算技术，在体育娱乐、生物技术、教育、金融科技、房地产、医疗保健、能源等众多行业中，实现体验式数据感知、估值及安全变现。信息数据交易所®（IDE®）是由纳斯达克金融基础设施公司（Nasdaq Financial Infrastructure）提供技术支持的代币交易所。该公司拥有并运营多家交易所，包括国际元素交易所（IEE）、体育画报交易所（SIx）、纽约互动广告交易所（NYIAX）以及美国政治交易所（APE）。公司总部位于宾夕法尼亚州费城。更多信息请访问 https://www.dvlt.ai。前瞻性陈述：本新闻稿包含《1933年证券法》（经修订）第27A条、《1934年证券交易法》（经修订）第21E条以及《1995年私人证券诉讼改革法案》所界定的“前瞻性陈述”。本新闻稿中除历史事实陈述以外的所有陈述，包括关于公司未来运营、财务状况、前景、计划、目标、预期及意图的陈述，均属前瞻性陈述。诸如“预期”、“相信”、 “可能”、“估计”、“预期”、“打算”、“或许”、“计划”、“潜在”、“预测”、“预测”、“应”、“目标”、“将”、“会”等词语及类似表述旨在识别前瞻性陈述，尽管并非所有前瞻性陈述都包含这些识别性词语。本新闻稿中的前瞻性陈述包括但不限于以下内容：(i) 美国专利申请号 17/842,220、美国专利申请号 17/507,459 以及任何相关外国或延续申请的最终授权、范围、有效性和可执行性； (ii) 本公司已获专利及正在申请专利的技术的商业价值、市场采用情况及收入贡献，包括DataValue®、DataScore®、信息数据交换®（IDE®）、Sumerian®加密锚点以及Datavault®平台； (iii) 本公司实现2026年至少2亿美元营收目标的能力；(iv) 本公司正在推进的代币化合同、许可协议及战略合作伙伴关系； (v) 代币化实物资产、数据变现及数字资产税务申报市场的规模、增长态势及发展时机；(vi) 公司预期部署的边缘GPU集群及高性能计算基础设施的集成与运行表现；以及 (vii) 因美国国税局1099-DA表格申报要求而产生的自动化税务申报解决方案需求。这些前瞻性陈述基于管理层目前的预期和假设，并受重大风险、不确定性及其他因素的影响，这些因素可能导致实际结果与明示或暗示的结果存在重大差异。此类风险包括但不限于：美国专利商标局在复审时将已获授权的权利要求范围缩小，或驳回已获授权的权利要求；本公司专利及专利申请中技术的商业化进程出现延迟或失败；本公司吸引和留住客户、被许可方及交易所合作伙伴的能力；来自现有及新兴技术的竞争； 网络安全、区块链协议及量子计算风险；影响数字资产申报的美国联邦及州税法变更（包括对1099-DA表格制度的修改）；影响数字资产、证券、数据隐私及代币化实物资产的监管动态； 本公司按可接受条款筹集额外资金的能力；宏观经济及资本市场状况；以及本公司截至2025年12月31日财政年度的10-K表年度报告、后续10-Q表季度报告、 8-K表当前报告以及向美国证券交易委员会（“SEC”）提交的其他文件中讨论的其他风险因素，上述文件的副本可免费从SEC网站www.sec.gov获取。除适用法律要求外，本公司不承担任何义务，并明确声明不负有任何责任，无论因新信息、未来事件、情况变化或其他原因，均不更新或修订任何前瞻性陈述。投资者和证券持有人应注意，切勿过度依赖这些前瞻性陈述，因其仅反映本新闻稿发布之日的状况。本公司不保证其预期能够实现。本新闻稿不构成出售任何证券的要约，亦不构成购买任何证券的要约邀请。关于潜在收购、处置、合资企业、战略联盟、许可交易或类似安排的任何前瞻性陈述，均受最终协议的谈判、签署和履行以及惯常交割条件的满足所制约，且无法保证此类交易将按预期条款、预期时间完成，甚至可能无法完成。行业与市场数据：本新闻稿包含基于或源自独立行业出版物、第三方研究、调查及报告的行业、市场及竞争地位数据，包括统计数据、预测及推算，其中涉及RWA.xyz、波士顿咨询集团（Boston Consulting Group）、ADDX、SkyQuest Technology以及美国国税局（U.S. Internal Revenue Service）提供的数据。本公司未独立核实此类第三方信息的准确性或完整性，且对其可靠性不作任何明示或暗示的陈述或保证。此类行业出版物及预测本质上受制于假设、方法论限制及不确定性，基于此类数据的推测、估计及判断可能并不准确。实际市场规模、增长率以及本公司在这些市场中的地位可能与本文所述数据存在重大差异。商标、商号、服务标记及版权：Datavault AI™、DataValue®、DataScore®、Information Data Exchange®、IDE®、Datavault®、WiSA®、ADIO® 及 Sumerian® 是 Datavault AI Inc. 在美国及/或其他司法管辖区的商标、服务标记或注册商标。本新闻稿还涉及其他公司拥有的商标、服务标记、商号及版权，包括 Coinbase、Kraken、Gemini 和 Nasdaq 的相关标识。仅为方便起见，本新闻稿中提及的某些商标、服务标记、商号及版权可能未标注™、®、©或SM符号，但本公司将在适用法律允许的最大范围内，对其自有商标、服务标记、商号及版权主张权利。使用或展示其他方的商标、服务标记、商号或版权，并非旨在且不暗示本公司与任何此类第三方存在关系，亦不构成对该等第三方的认可或赞助。媒体联系：marketing@dvlt.ai 投资者联系：Edward Barger投资者关系副总裁ebarger@dvlt.ai | ir@dvlt.ai 来源：Datavault AI Inc Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

吉隆坡, 2026年4月22日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 万利集团（以下简称"万利"或"集团"）之上市实体 CBL International Limited（以下简称"公司"或"CBL"）（美国纳斯达克交易所代码：BANL），亚太地区知名燃油供应服务商，今日宣布收购英属维尔京群岛注册公司绿燃控股有限公司（"绿燃"）50.5%的多数股权。CBL的全资子公司作为《股份出售及购买协议》（简称"SPA"）的直接签约方，而CBL并非该协议的签约方，因此CBL向卖方提供公司担保，以确保其子公司履行SPA项下的付款义务。绿燃在马来西亚经营两项互补业务：可持续航空燃料（SAF）和生物燃料的原料贸易，以及船舶生物燃料供应兼传统燃料油加注服务。其原料贸易部门持有所必要的国际认证资质以便采购和交易SAF及生物燃料生产所需原材料，并拥有成熟的供应商与客户网络。燃料油加注业务则持有当地政府发出的许可证，可在马来西亚水域供应传统船用燃料及生物燃料。此次战略投资符合全球日益重视环境、社会和治理（ESG）以及海事、航空领域监管要求不断演变的趋势。CBL的财务资源及船用燃料物流运营专长预计将助力绿燃业务扩张，使其能够扩大原料贸易规模，并探索向马来西亚SAF相关生产企业供应原材料的业务。马来西亚可持续燃料的基础设施投资日益增加，该国已有新的商业规模SAF生产设施投入运营，并有更多项目正在规划中。这些发展进一步凸显了该地区对原料的潜在需求。在燃料油加注业务方面，绿燃的供应资质令集团得以在包括巴生港在内的马来西亚主要港口发展传统燃料和生物燃料的供应能力。巴生港是全球吞吐量前十的港口之一。这将依托CBL现有的燃料油加注服务，支持行业迈向低碳船用燃料转型。CBL集团主席兼行政总裁谢威廉博士评论道："此次收购是在可持续能源供应链上采取稳健拓展的一步，并充分利用了我们在船用燃料服务方面的核心优势。我们期待与绿燃团队合作，支持这些业务按照市场发展实现负责任增长。"此次交易预计将增强CBL在不断演变的海洋与能源领域的长期定位，同时不会改变公司对现有加燃料服务业务的核心专注。关于万利集团万利集团成立于2015年，以 CBL International Limited（纳斯达克：BANL）在纳斯达克股票市场上市。我们致力于为客户提供一站式燃油供应服务，被业内称为燃油供应服务商。截至2026年4月17日，我们主要通过当地实体供货商为船舶提供燃油加注服务，遍布澳大利亚、比利时、中国、香港、印度、日本、韩国、马来西亚、毛里裘斯、荷兰、巴拿马、菲律宾、新加坡、台湾、泰国、土耳其和越南，共覆盖超过70个港口。集团积极推动可持续燃料的使用，并已取得ISCC EU 和 ISCC Plus 认证，以及EcoVadis银牌。如欲瞭解更多信息，請到集團網站 https://www.banle-intl.com  瀏覽。前瞻性声明本公告中的某些陈述并非历史事实，而是前瞻性陈述。前瞻性陈述一般使用"相信"、"可能"、"可以"、"将要"、"估计"、"继续"、"预期"、"打算"、"期望"、"计划"、"应该"、"将会"、"未来"、"展望"、"潜力"、"项目"等类似词语来预测或表达未来事件或趋势或不属于历史事项的陈述，但不使用这些词语并不意味着陈述并非前瞻性。这些前瞻性陈述包括但不限于对其他绩效指标的估计和预测，以及对市场机会的预测。这些信息涉及已知和未知的风险和不确定性，并基于各种假设（无论本新闻稿中是否指明）以及BANL管理层的当前预期，而非对实际业绩的预测。这些前瞻性陈述仅供说明目的，不得被任何投资者作为且不得被依赖为对事实或可能性的担保、保证、预测或确凿陈述。实际事件和情况难以或不可能预测，也会与假设不同。许多实际事件和情况不在BANL的控制范围内。一些重要因素可能导致实际结果与任何前瞻性陈述存在实质性差异，包括国内外商业、燃料价格及关税、市场、金融、政治和法律环境的变化。公司没有义务公开更新或修改任何前瞻性陈述来反映随后发生的事件或情况或预期的变化，除非法律要求。尽管公司认为该等前瞻性陈述中表达的预期合理，但不能向您保证此类预期最终正确无误。公司提醒投资者实际结果可能与预期结果存在重大差异，并鼓励投资者细阅公司的注册声明和向SEC提交的其他文件所载可能影响其未来业绩的其他因素。CBL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED （注册于开曼群岛的有限责任公司）如需更多信息，請聯繫：CBL International Limited電郵：investors@banle-intl.com Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Although such non-GAAP measures are calculated according to accepted industry practice, such measures disclosed in this press release may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. This data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. While TMX Group believes these measures provide investors with greater transparency and supplemental data relating to the transaction, readers are cautioned that these non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to measures determined in accordance with GAAP and should not, on their own, be construed as indicators of TMX Group's or Cboe Canada and Cboe Australia's future performance or profitability. Readers should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating TMX Group's business or that of Cboe Canada and Cboe Australia. We use non-GAAP measures and non-GAAP ratios that do not have standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management uses these measures, and excludes certain items, because it believes doing so provides investors a more effective analysis of underlying operating and financial performance, including, in some cases, our ability to generate cash and our ability to repay debt. Management also uses these measures to more effectively measure performance over time, and excluding these items increases comparability across periods. The exclusion of certain items does not imply that they are non-recurring or not useful to investors.Adjusted earnings per share provided above is a non-GAAP ratio and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. TMX Group presents Adjusted EPS and excludes, among other things, acquisition, integration, and related items; amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions; strategic re-alignment expenses; dispute, litigation and related items; and other items as disclosed in TMX Group's 2025 Annual Report.
