> The company plans to revise four financial periods after reassessing an equity deal funded with Bitcoin.

Datavault plans to restate four financial periods after reassessing a Bitcoin (BTC)-funded equity deal, a change expected to reduce its reported June 2026 assets by $49 million. Its shares fell nearly 50% after the disclosure, putting the planned accounting change and the equity-market reaction in focus.

The $49 million figure is an expected reduction tied to the June 2026 asset balance. Datavault’s revisions remain planned, making the amount an anticipated change to reported assets rather than a completed restatement. The company plans revisions across four periods, so the review covers more than the June balance alone.

The transaction under review was an equity deal funded with Bitcoin. Datavault is reassessing that deal as it prepares the restatements. The share decline measures the market move in Datavault stock, while the $49 million figure is a planned change to reported company assets. The next step is the company’s planned restatement of the four periods.
