Datavault AI Sold $150M of Stock for Bitcoin. It's Been Trying to Withdraw That Bitcoin Since June. Now It Says the Bitcoin Was Never an Asset
Nasdaq-listed Datavault AI took about 1,328 BTC from Scilex for $150M of stock in September 2025. The coins were credited off-chain to an account at Biconomy exchange. Datavault asked to withdraw them in June 2026 and still can't. Its October 26 8-K says the bitcoin should have been booked as a receivable, not an asset, which wipes up to $92.2M off past balance sheets. The stock fell about 50% in a day.
