Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) announced that former Major League Baseball star Darryl Strawberry has signed as a brand ambassador for Datavault NIL Vault (“NILv”), the company’s upcoming name, image and likeness (“NIL”) exchange platform. Under a services agreement, Strawberry will create promotional content, participate in marketing initiatives and share in revenue generated through his content, while Datavault AI will provide platform support, activity tracking and revenue attribution.
The company said NIL Vault is designed to enable athletes and other public figures to measure, monetize and retain an ongoing interest in the value generated by their name, image and likeness. Strawberry joins the platform ahead of its commercial launch as Datavault AI continues expanding its portfolio of specialized data exchange platforms and expects to announce additional ambassador and content agreements.
This partnership signals the growing importance of NIL rights in the digital economy, particularly as athletes seek to maintain control and receive fair compensation for their personal brands. The NIL Vault platform aims to address challenges in the current NIL landscape by providing robust tracking and revenue attribution, which could set a new standard for how public figures engage with their intellectual property.

These capabilities position Datavault AI to serve sectors including sports, entertainment, biotech, and fintech, as outlined on their website at https://dvlt.ai.
The addition of Strawberry, an eight-time All-Star and four-time World Series champion, brings significant visibility to the NIL Vault platform. His involvement could attract other high-profile athletes and content creators to explore the platform’s potential. As Datavault AI prepares for the commercial launch, the company emphasizes the importance of forward-looking statements, noting that actual results may differ due to risks and uncertainties detailed in its SEC filings.
