Datavault AI (NASDAQ:DVLT) has announced a strategic initiative to tokenize Project Qestrel, a nationwide network of cybersecure edge data centers developed by Available Infrastructure. The project aims to deploy 1,000 data centers across 100 U.S. cities and 30 states as part of a $5 billion infrastructure buildout.
