Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) to Tokenize $1B Project Qestrel Edge AI Infrastructure Program

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. Through its Information Data Exchange platform, Datavault AI will provide tokenization, clearing, valuation, and exchange services for the QEST token. This program is expected to represent over $1 billion in tokenized value upon full deployment, with initial token offerings targeted for the third quarter of 2026. The initiative creates a new digital asset class tied directly to AI compute capacity, allowing for usage rights and secondary market trading. Datavault AI and Available Infrastructure will operate under an equal-sharing revenue arrangement for the project. This development marks a significant attempt to bridge physical AI infrastructure with Web 3.0 monetization models on a large scale.
