ter reclassifying Bitcoin from a $150 million Scilex stock deal as a subscription receivable. – Management is reassessing its going-concern status because it had counted the Bitcoin as a source of liquidity and says collecting what Scilex owes is uncertain. Datavault AI shares fell more than 50% on Tuesday to close at $0.06, after the Nasdaq-listed company disclosed that it has been unable to withdraw Bitcoin from the crypto exchange Biconomy since June
The company also said four sets of its financial statements can no longer be relied upon. The disclosure came in a Form 8-K filed Oct. 26, in which Datavault said it requested a withdrawal to an external account in June and has been “unable to complete the withdrawal.” The filing does not explain what is holding it up. The Bitcoin traces to a Sept. 25, 2025, agreement in which Scilex Holding, a pain-medicine company, agreed to pay $150 million in Bitcoin for 15 million Datavault shares and a pre-funded warrant covering another 263.9 million shares.
A pre-funded warrant is a right to buy stock in which nearly the whole price is paid upfront. At $112,915.52 per Bitcoin, the deal came to about 1,328.43 BTC. Scilex credited 1,309.04 BTC to Datavault’s account at Biconomy on Sept. 26 and Nov. 25, 2025, the filing says, a figure that reflects a 19.39 BTC deduction for cash advances Scilex had made.
