Datavault AI Inc. has filed a defamation complaint against Wolfpack Research and its founder Dan David regarding a short report released on October 31, 2025. The data tokenization and management company, represented by Paul Hastings LLP, contends that the report contained false and misleading statements while ignoring verifiable facts and omitting crucial context. According to the company, these actions directly harmed both the organization and its shareholders.
Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI, emphasized the company's determination to pursue accountability through legal channels. We will pursue all options to hold Wolfpack and Dan David accountable in court, Bradley stated. He further noted that despite the legal proceedings, Datavault remains focused on its core business objectives of revenue generation and shareholder value creation. The formal complaint has been included as Exhibit 99.1 to Datavault's Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated November 10, 2025, which can be accessed through the SEC's official database.
The lawsuit represents a significant development in the ongoing tension between publicly traded companies and short-selling research firms. Defamation cases in the financial sector carry substantial implications for market transparency and the boundaries of investment research. Legal experts note that such cases often test the balance between free speech protections and corporate reputation rights, particularly when research reports impact stock performance and investor confidence.
