American Marconi Wireless News - CORRECTION: Mandela Dollar ("MUSD") Announced to Promote Mandela's Legacy of Financial Inclusion for Underserved Communities Across the World

PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / March 30, 2026 / Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT) ("Datavault AI" or the "Company"), a leader in data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, Mandela Dlamini & Manaway L.L.C., a Wyoming, USA-based entity ("MDM LLC") dedicated to advancing Nelson Mandela's vision of equality, dignity, and economic empowerment, and Unity Reserve Holdings L.L.C. ("Unity Reserve"), today announced the official launch of Mandela Dollar ("MUSD"), a new USD-pegged stablecoin designed to promote financial inclusion for underserved communities globally.

MUSD is designed to serve as a transparent, secure, and accessible digital dollar built on blockchain technology, enabling low-cost remittances, savings, micro-lending, and everyday transactions in regions with limited banking access. This stablecoin embodies the principles of freedom, reconciliation, and opportunity that defined Nelson Mandela's life, ensuring that financial tools are inclusive, equitable, and aligned with social impact.

Under the arrangement with MDM LLC and Unity Reserve, Datavault AI will serve as the primary technology partner, providing its patented artificial intelligence ("AI")-powered platforms, tokenization expertise, secure data infrastructure, and scalable blockchain solutions - including integration with its carbon credit and RWA tokenization frameworks - to power MUSD's issuance, redemption, compliance, and on-chain transparency.

"Mandela taught us that freedom is incomplete without economic justice," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. "MUSD represents a practical step forward - leveraging our proven stablecoin and tokenization technology to create a borderless, low-friction digital dollar that empowers the unbanked and underbanked. Our investment underscores our belief in this mission and our long-term commitment to building inclusive financial systems that reflect Mandela's enduring values."

Her Royal Highness Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway, Director of MDM LLC, stated: "This stablecoin carries forward the long walk to freedom in the digital era. By partnering with Datavault AI and Unity Reserve, we are harnessing cutting-edge blockchain and AI to deliver real economic dignity - making Mandela's dream of opportunity for all tangible and accessible to millions. MUSD is more than a currency; it is a continuation of the fight for equality."

Mustaq Patel, representative of Unity Reserve, added: "Nelson Mandela's legacy inspires us to create lasting change through innovation and inclusion. As a founding partner, Unity Reserve is proud to support MUSD by bridging strategic capital and global networks to scale this transformative stablecoin. Together with Datavault AI and MDM LLC, we are building a secure, impactful financial tool that honors Madiba's vision of dignity and opportunity for the underserved - turning economic empowerment into reality for communities worldwide."

Planned key features of MUSD include:

• Cyber secure Datavault AI IBM SanQtum Quantum enterprise encryption of digital assets

• 1:1 peg to the US dollar, backed by high-quality Mandela reserves held in regulated custody.

• Ultra-low transaction fees optimized for cross-border remittances and micro-payments.

• Built-in transparency and auditability via blockchain, with real-time proof-of-reserves.

• Integration with wallets, decentralized finance protocols, and educational/micro-entrepreneurship programs aligned with Mandela legacy initiatives.

• A portion of protocol revenue is directed to charitable causes supporting education, skills development, and poverty alleviation through partners that promote Nelson Mandela's values.

The joint venture will be jointly overseen by a governance board with representation from all three organizations, ensuring alignment with Mandela's values of integrity, accountability, and social good. Initial rollout will focus on priority regions in Africa and emerging markets, with phased global expansion planned subject to regulatory approvals.

The official Mandela Dollar™(MUSD) has not yet been launched and is not live on any exchange or blockchain. We strongly advise everyone to beware of any tokens, websites, or social channels claiming to represent Mandela Dollar. The only official Mandela Dollar announcements will come from our channels.
