DVLT stock edges higher as deal strengthens AI cybersecurity focus
Datavault AI (DVLT) stock moved higher after the company announced a planned all-stock acquisition of CyberCatch Holdings. DVLT traded at $0.7479, up 3.05%, after an early move above $0.79 faded. The deal gives Datavault AI a wider cybersecurity role as demand grows across defense, healthcare, finance, and data markets.
Datavault AI Moves to Buy CyberCatch
Datavault AI signed a binding letter of intent to acquire 100% of CyberCatch in an all-stock transaction. The companies plan to complete the deal through a court-approved arrangement under British Columbia corporate law. CyberCatch would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Datavault AI after closing.
Under the proposed terms, Datavault AI will acquire about 26.8 million CyberCatch common shares. CyberCatch shareholders will receive about 49.9 million newly issued Datavault AI shares in exchange. The deal values CyberCatch’s common shares at about CAD $136.84 million.
Datavault AI stockholders would own about 92.48% of the combined company after the transaction. CyberCatch shareholders would hold about 7.52% on a non-fully diluted basis. CyberCatch would continue operations from San Diego under founder and CEO Sai Huda.
CyberCatch Adds AI Cybersecurity and Compliance Tools
CyberCatch provides an AI-enabled platform for continuous cybersecurity compliance and cyber risk mitigation. The platform checks controls, measures cyber hygiene, and runs ongoing penetration tests. It also maps results to major standards, including CMMC, NIST, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
The acquisition gives Datavault AI exposure to a larger security market. Gartner expects worldwide information security spending to reach $240 billion in 2026. Moreover, Gartner projects the AI-amplified security segment to reach $160 billion by 2029.
CyberCatch also supports companies facing stricter defense and compliance requirements. The U.S. CMMC program began its first phase in November 2025. Mandatory third-party assessments for Level 2 contracts begin in November 2026.
DVLT Links Cybersecurity With Data and RWA Tokenization
Datavault AI plans to use CyberCatch as a security layer across its technology stack. This includes DataValue, DataScore, and Information Data Exchange products. The company also expects the platform to support regulated customer workloads.
The deal also connects with Datavault AI’s quantum-resistant edge strategy. CyberCatch has been developing MARS-MABE encryption technology for stronger access control and revocation. This technology could support secure data use across healthcare, defense, finance, manufacturing, and energy.
The transaction still needs a definitive agreement, due diligence, board approvals, CyberCatch shareholder approval, and court clearance. It also requires approvals from Nasdaq and the TSX Venture Exchange. Both companies agreed to negotiate final terms during a 45-day exclusivity period.
