Bitcoin Treasury Datavault AI Says It Can’t Access Its BTC, Stock Tanks

Datavault AI says it has been unable to withdraw its Bitcoin from Biconomy since June and will restate four financial reports tied to a $150 million Scilex deal.

The top 3

  1. The Mechanics of the Failed Asset Classification: Datavault AI initially recorded Bitcoin received from Scilex as a digital asset, but later determined it never qualified as such because the 'off-chain' transfers occurred entirely within the exchange's books. Consequently, the company is reclassifying the deal as a 'subscription receivable'—essentially money owed for stock—which necessitates the removal of these coins from its balance sheet and the reversal of previously reported crypto-related gains and losses.
  2. Impact on Financial Integrity and Operational Risk: The restatement will reduce total assets by up to $92.2 million for the 2025 fiscal year, significantly impacting the company's reported equity. Because Datavault treated these Bitcoin balances as a primary source of liquidity, the inability to withdraw the funds since June has forced management to formally reassess its ability to continue as a 'going concern.'
