Four Periods of Financials Withdrawn
The Audit Committee concluded on October 20, 2026 that the 10-Qs for Q3 2025, Q1 2026 and Q2 2026 and the FY2025 10-K should no longer be relied upon, along with related earnings releases and investor presentations.

Bitcoin Reclassified as Receivable
The ~1,328 Bitcoin received in the $150 million Scilex equity purchase did not qualify as a digital asset and must be shown as a subscription receivable reducing stockholders' equity; restatement is expected to cut total assets by $8.1 million, $92.2 million, $57.1 million and $49.0 million as of September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026.

Going Concern Back Under Review
Because Bitcoin balances no longer count as a liquidity source and collection from Scilex is uncertain, management is reassessing its going concern evaluation for FY2025 and Q1 2026 — on top of going-concern doubt already disclosed in the August 19, 2026 10-Q.

Bitcoin Stuck at Custodian
The company requested a withdrawal of Bitcoin from its Biconomy wallet in June 2026 and has still been unable to complete it as of this filing.
Analysis · DVLT · Trade & Services
Investors are being told to stop relying on every set of financials Datavault has published from Q3 2025 through Q2 2026, following an Audit Committee conclusion. The trigger is the $150 million Scilex stock deal: the roughly 1,328 Bitcoin received was booked as a company digital asset, but the company now says it never qualified as one and should have been a receivable from Scilex, cutting total assets by $8.1 million to $92.2 million depending on the period. Compounding the problem, the company has been unable to withdraw Bitcoin from its Biconomy wallet since June 2026. Because those coins no longer count as liquidity and collection from Scilex is uncertain, management is redoing its going-concern analysis. That lands on a company already carrying going-concern doubt and a Nasdaq minimum-bid deficiency, and the restatement timing is undetermined — meaning the Q3 2026 10-Q is at risk of delay. Reported revenue growth and the CyberCatch and BankWyse deals now sit on numbers investors cannot trust until restated.
