Datavault AI expands identity verification platform to combat stolen valor

BEAVERTON, Ore. - Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT), a technology company currently valued at $40.64 million, announced Monday the global expansion of its VerifyU platform, designed to authenticate military service records and combat fraudulent military service claims through blockchain technology. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears undervalued based on its Fair Value metrics, though investors should note its weak financial health score of 0.79.

The company said the platform will provide military institutions and government contractor Burke Products with an AI framework for real-time verification of service records and credentials. The system will mint "Valor tokens" on blockchain technology to connect service members with benefits and services.

According to the press release, Burke Products holds an exclusive license for Datavault AI technology under what it describes as a U.S. sole-source government contract.

The company cited estimates that stolen valor—falsely claiming military honors or service—costs millions annually in improper payments from veteran benefits programs, with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reportedly identifying over $100 million in payments related to misrepresented service in recent years. While the company targets this substantial market opportunity, InvestingPro data reveals significant operational challenges, including negative EBITDA of -$28.62 million and a concerning debt burden. For deeper insights into DVLT’s financial position and growth prospects, investors can access the comprehensive Pro Research Report, available exclusively on InvestingPro.

"We built and patented VerifyU to deliver a scalable, trusted sonic fingerprint enabling real-time verification that is auditable, secure, and aligned with federal compliance frameworks," said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI, in the statement.

The company plans to demonstrate its VerifyU authentication system on November 10, 2025, at The Phoenix Park Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Datavault AI referenced industry analysts projecting growth in the identity verification market from $12 billion in 2024 to more than $50 billion by 2030, with government and defense applications driving adoption. While analysts forecast impressive revenue growth of 424% for FY2025, InvestingPro subscribers have access to 18 additional key insights about DVLT’s financial health and market position, crucial for making informed investment decisions in this rapidly evolving sector.

The company said its technology is supported by several patents, including systems for inaudible tones tracking, data authentication, and blockchain-based verification.
