Datavault AI Inc. 8-K

What Happened
Datavault AI Inc. announced on January 5, 2026 that it filed a prospectus supplement to its effective Form S-3 shelf registration (originally filed July 7, 2025; declared effective July 9, 2025) to register the issuance of 7,500,000 shares of common stock. The shares (par value $0.0001 each) are being registered for issuance in consideration for the assignment of certain intellectual property rights to the company. The company filed a legal opinion and consent from Paul Hastings LLP regarding the validity of the shares as exhibits to the Form 8-K.

Key Details

• Date filed: January 5, 2026; Registration Statement originally filed July 7, 2025 and declared effective July 9, 2025 (File No. 333-288538).
• Shares to be registered: 7,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
• Purpose: Shares to be issued in consideration for assignment of certain intellectual property rights to Datavault AI.
• Legal clearance: Opinion and consent of Paul Hastings LLP included as Exhibit 5.1 and Exhibit 23.1 to the 8-K.

Why It Matters
Registering these shares is a prerequisite for issuing stock as payment for intellectual property; if and when issued, the shares would increase the company’s outstanding share count and could dilute existing shareholders’ ownership and per-share metrics. The filing does not state when or whether the shares will be issued or describe the specific IP being assigned—investors should watch future filings for the transaction details, timing, and any impact on capitalization.
