American Marconi Wireless News - Datavault AI Announces Anticipated Launch of Josh Gibson Stablecoin and Josh Gibson NIL Strategies for Its Forthcoming NIL Exchange

As outlined in the MLB's May 2024 press release, the statistics of the Negro Leagues have officially entered the major league record, recognizing the achievements of thousands of black players previously excluded from MLB. Josh Gibson, widely regarded as one of the greatest catchers and hitters in baseball history, now holds multiple all-time MLB records, including career batting average (.372), slugging percentage (.718), and on-base plus slugging (OPS 1.177), as well as several single-season marks. These updates affirm Gibson's status among the game's all-time greats.

Leveraging Datavault AI's patented Information Data Exchange^® (IDE), Data Vault^®, DataScore^®, and DataValue^® AI technologies, the Josh Gibson Stablecoin will build on the Company's established stablecoin frameworks, including its patented Data Vault platform in alignment with emerging regulations such as the GENIUS Act and Stable Coin Act. The Josh Gibson Stablecoin will be a digital asset designed to support legacy preservation, fan engagement, and tokenized revenue opportunities tied to Gibson's enduring brand and historical significance.

In parallel, Datavault AI will develop targeted Josh Gibson NIL strategies for its proprietary NIL exchange platform, currently being developed in exploratory collaboration with Sports Illustrated and targeted for commercial launch in the second half of 2026. These strategies will enable secure tokenization of digital twins, licensing, trading, and monetization of Gibson's name, image, and likeness rights, creating new avenues for collectors, brands, and the broader community to engage with and support Negro Leagues history.

Sean Gibson, Josh Gibson's great grandson and Executive Director of the Josh Gibson Foundation, stated: "My family is incredibly proud to see my great grandfather's legacy honored in this innovative way. With MLB now officially recognizing the Negro Leagues' statistics and Josh's place among baseball's all-time greats, Datavault AI's Josh Gibson Stablecoin and NIL strategies will bring his story to new generations through Web 3.0 technology. This is a powerful tribute during Black History Month that preserves black excellence in sports while creating real economic opportunities for the future. We look forward to working together to make his achievements accessible to fans worldwide."

"Josh Gibson was not only one of the greatest players in baseball history, he was a trailblazer whose excellence was denied its rightful place for decades. With MLB now officially integrating the Negro Leagues statistics, we are proud to launch the Josh Gibson Stablecoin and develop comprehensive NIL strategies on our forthcoming exchange. This initiative perfectly demonstrates how Datavault AI's tokenization technology, AI platforms, and Information Data Exchange^® can preserve cultural legacies while creating real economic opportunities. We are especially excited to celebrate Black History Month and we anticipate that we will distribute a special commemorative Josh Gibson meme coin to our shareholders in the near term. We will announce the record date for any such distribution once it has been approved by our board of directors. We anticipate that the distribution will be on the basis of one coin for every one share of Datavault AI common stock, rewarding our investors as we bridge sports history with the future of Web3."

To celebrate Black History Month and Josh Gibson's monumental contributions to baseball and American history, Datavault AI anticipates that it will distribute a special commemorative Josh Gibson meme coin to its shareholders on the basis of one commemorative meme coin for every one share of Datavault AI common stock held, subject to board approval, setting of a record date and standard distribution terms, in each case which Datavault AI will announce at a later date. The commemorative meme coin will be intended as a digital collectible with potential trading availability on the IDE following distribution of the coin and launch of the IDE. This distribution continues Datavault AI's tradition of delivering innovative, culturally significant digital assets directly to shareholders, similar to its recent Dream Bowl Meme Coin II initiative.

As part of this collaboration, Datavault will host a private, invitation-only event at its Philadelphia headquarters to honor the legacy of Josh Gibson in observance of Black History Month. The event will convene select media, stakeholders, and community representatives and will include demonstrations of the Company's acoustic and data technologies.
