Collaboration to Identify and Monetize Soil, Carbon, and Regenerative Agriculture Data for Global Exchange

Datavault AI Inc. (Datavault AI or the Company) (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization technologies, and AgSensor Solutions, LLC (AgSensor) today announced the closing of a definitive consulting partnership agreement to identify, value, and tokenize high-value agricultural data assets.

The partnership enables Datavault AI to leverage AgSensor’s deep domain expertise in the agricultural technology sector to source and vet companies with significant data assets suitable for the Company’s patented Information Data Exchange® (“IDE”), DataScore®, and DataValue® blockchain tokenization platforms. The consulting partnership targets key segments including soil sensing, carbon and sustainability data, agricultural IoT platforms, and regenerative agriculture environmental, social, and governance data firms.

By integrating AgSensor’s specialized industry knowledge with Datavault AI’s monetization infrastructure, the companies aim to create a new class of liquid, transparent digital assets derived from the $5 trillion global agricultural economy1. This initiative provides agricultural producers and technology providers with a compliant pathway – consistent with applicable securities, data privacy, and anti-money-laundering regulations – to unlock the latent value of their data while offering investors exposure to critical sustainability and food security metrics.

Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI, stated: “Our partnership with AgSensor Solutions is a pivotal step in expanding our RWA tokenization strategy into the vital agricultural sector. Data is the new crop for the modern farmer, and by applying our patented valuation and exchange technologies to soil and sustainability metrics, we are creating a transparent marketplace for agricultural intelligence. This consulting partnership ensures that high-value ag-data is properly qualified and positioned for global monetization.”

Michael J. DeSa, Co-Founder and CEO of AgSensor, added: “Partnering with Datavault AI allows us to bridge the gap between advanced agricultural sensing and the digital economy. There is an immense volume of high-quality data being generated in the field that remains undervalued. Through this agreement, we are providing the industry with the tools to tokenize these assets, driving new revenue streams for regenerative practices and enhancing the overall value of the agricultural data ecosystem.”

The strategic alignment focuses on sourcing prospects with high-value data assets, refining product positioning for the agricultural market, and facilitating the integration of these assets into Datavault AI’s product lines. This transaction further solidifies Datavault AI’s leadership in tokenizing diverse real-world assets and establishes a benchmark for the valuation and exchange of strategic agricultural data.

HKTDC launches GoGlobal Connect to help mainland firms go global via Hong Kong

In view of the growing and increasingly pressing demand from mainland enterprises to go global, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has launched GoGlobal Connect. This will leverage the resources of HKTDC’s 51 offices worldwide to strengthen its service offerings and facilitate more effective connections between mainland enterprises and Hong Kong’s professional service providers, while strengthening ties to explore global business opportunities and enhance Hong Kong’s role as an international platform.

The GoGlobal Connect launch ceremony was held today at the HKTDC SME Service Centre. The ceremony was officiated by Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the Hong Kong SAR Government, and Prof Frederick Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC. It was witnessed by more than 200 enterprise representatives of mainland enterprises and Hong Kong service providers.

In his welcoming remarks, Prof Ma said: “According to the World Trade Organization’s latest report, Hong Kong rose to become the world’s fifth-largest merchandise trading economy in 2025, reflecting the strong resilience of Hong Kong’s external trade and reaffirming its status as an international trade centre. This year marks the launch of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan. The HKTDC will take a proactive approach to help Hong Kong better integrate into and serve the nation’s overall development strategy. Through the newly launched GoGlobal Connect initiative, we will leverage Hong Kong’s strengths in internationally oriented professional services to lower the threshold for mainland enterprises to go global and support their steady and well‑managed overseas expansion.”

In his opening remarks, Algernon Yau said that the HKTDC officially launched the GoGlobal Connect service today, along with an enhanced cross-sectoral professional services platform, further strengthening the support provided by the GoGlobal Task Force for mainland enterprises. He said: “The Task Force will continue to actively advance various initiatives, including attracting strategically valuable mainland enterprises to develop their businesses in Hong Kong. At the same time, we will continue to organise promotional and matchmaking events across different sectoral themes in Hong Kong and the mainland, and invite mainland enterprises to join overseas business missions, allowing them to gain first-hand understanding of local market situations.”

Helping mainland enterprises go global
The HKTDC’s GoGlobal Connect initiative will provide support in four key areas, by:

Establishing a cross-sectoral professional services platform, which brings together professional service providers from eight key sectors to facilitate connections with mainland enterprises;Setting up GoGlobal Connect zones at HKTDC’s flagship events, where service providers can offer on-site consultations;Incorporating GoGlobal Connect elements into trade promotion activities held in the Chinese Mainland, to promote Hong Kong as a platform for enterprises going global;Leveraging the HKTDC’s global network to strengthen market connections.

The GoGlobal Connect service will also be available at the HKTDC SME Service Centre.

Following the launch ceremony, Yao Chenpeng, Vice President of Transfar Group, a mainland enterprise, shared the company’s plans to establish an overseas business headquarters in Hong Kong. He said that the Group’s overseas business has continued to grow in recent years, necessitating the establishment of an international management centre to handle matters such as tax planning and overseas contracts, and that the professional services available in Hong Kong are well placed to meet the company’s needs.

He noted that after sharing the idea with the HKTDC in July last year, the Council promptly arranged meetings between the Group and relevant government departments, major chambers of commerce and industry associations in Hong Kong. The HKTDC also introduced the Group to Hong Kong professional service providers to help it understand the incentives and procedures for establishing operations in Hong Kong and to build business networks.

Subsequently, at the Belt and Road Summit held in September last year, the HKTDC introduced professional service providers to the Group and facilitated the signing of cooperation agreements, providing practical support for the Group’s global expansion plans.

A survey conducted in the Chinese Mainland by the HKTDC earlier this year among more than 2,000 mainland enterprises showed that 83% plan to leverage Hong Kong’s professional services to support their global expansion, a significant increase from 62% from a similar survey conducted in 2023. The findings underscore Hong Kong’s strengths as the preferred service platform for mainland enterprises going global.

The Hong Kong SAR Government recently set up the GoGlobal Task Force and launched a thematic website in March (www.goglobal.gov.hk). The website includes a link to HKTDC’s cross-sectoral professional services platform, which provides one-stop information and professional support for mainland enterprises seeking to expand overseas via Hong Kong, helping them better leverage Hong Kong’s diverse international strengths to plan and implement their global expansion strategies. The platform has recently enhanced its service provider database and optimized the user interface. In the second half of the year, we will onboard more service providers and continue to improve the platform and matching functions to deliver more comprehensive support to mainland enterprises.

As previously disclosed, Datavault AI serves as Triton’s exclusive technology provider for RWA digitization, valuation, and structured monetization of its U.S. Department of Energy-validatedgeothermal energy assets, and the Company will receive up to $8 million in tokenization fees tied to Triton’s planned $125 million digital token offering and continuing participation equal to 5% of all digital token transaction fees collected by Triton following the offering. The active trading of TRITON on Biconomy demonstrates the real-world progression of the Datavault AI tokenization pipeline from agreement execution through to live secondary market liquidity- a pathway the Company expects its broader portfolio of meme coins, RWA stablecoins, and smart contract tokens to follow as additional assets are onboarded to the Biconomy and, ultimately, to the Datavault Information Data Exchange.

Biconomy, founded in 2019, serves more than 10 million users and institutions across 180+ countries and consistently ranks among the top 20-30 global exchanges by trading volume, with average daily volume between $2 billion and $2.8 billion. The platform offers hundreds of trading pairs and maintains industry-leading security, with 98% of assets held in cold storage.

The initiative advances Datavault AI’s development of the Datavault AI Information Data Exchange, which will be powered by the Nasdaq Financial Framework. By capitalizing on Biconomy’s proven liquidity, user base, and Asian market leadership, the Company is strengthening token adoption, liquidity depth, and compliant cross-border distribution – foundational elements for scalable, institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure.

Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI, stated: “These listings on Biconomy represent a significant milestone for our meme coin portfolio and our RWA ecosystem. The assets being launched complement our patented Information Data Exchange®, International Elements Exchange™ (IEE), our sports-focused international NIL exchange and our American Political Exchange™ (APE). We anticipate that all of these platforms will benefit from Biconomy’s substantial daily trading volume and targeted Asian reach, driving meaningful liquidity and accelerated adoption for our token offerings and our expanding meme portfolio strategies.”

Revenue of RMB19.3 billion, Net Profit Surged by 273%: Victory Giant Technology Launches Hong Kong IPO

Marie Jones

0

On April 13, Victory Giant Technology launched its Hong Kong IPO, with joint sponsors including JPMorgan Chase, CITIC Securities International, and GF Securities. As a leading supplier of advanced printed circuit boards (PCBs) products for AI and high-performance computing (HPC), the company ranked No.1 globally in the AI/HPC PCB market in 1H25, surpassing several international peers. We believe the IPO could provide incremental funding to support capacity expansion and reinforce its technology leadership, amid accelerating investments in AI infrastructure.

Rising to the Top in Half a Year: A Precisely Timed Market Breakthrough

According to Frost & Sullivan, Victory Giant Technology’s global market share in AI and HPC PCBs reached 13.8% in the first half of 2025, ranking first, compared with only 1.7% (seventh place) for the full year of 2024. This rapid rise within just half a year was not coincidental, but rather the result of accurately capturing the surge in demand for high-build-up HDI boards used in AI servers. Supporting data shows that in 2025, Victory Giant’s HDI revenue reached RMB7.42 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 388.2%, while its share of total revenue rose from 14.2% in 2024 to 38.5%.

The Company also delivered impressive financial performance. In 2025, total revenue reached RMB19.3 billion, up 79.8% year-on-year, while net profit climbed to RMB4.31 billion, marking a sharp increase of 273.5%. Gross margin improved significantly from 22.7% in 2024 to 35.2%, mainly driven by high-margin, high-build-up HDI products. During the same period, net cash generated from operating activities amounted to RMB4.62 billion, demonstrating a solid cash flow foundation for its earnings growth. For the 2024 financial year，the company also declared dividends of RMB260 million, returning value to shareholders through its stable cash generation.

Victory Giant Technology is able to manufacture high-layer-count MLPCBs with more than 100 layers. We are also one of the first companies globally to achieve mass production of 24-layer HDIs with a 6+12+6 build-up, as well as the technical capabilities for 30-layer HDIs with a 10+10+10 build-up, and 16-layer any-layer interconnect HDIs. Its core products include multi-layer PCBs (MLPCB) and high-build-up high-density interconnects (HDI) boards, which supporting the evolving needs of fast-growing industries such as AI, EV and high-speed telecommunications equipment. As demand for AI computing shifts from concept to large-scale deployment, Victory Giant Technology has already established its technological roadmap in advance.

Diversified Barriers and Global Layout Forge a Competitive Moat

AI computing PCBs are far more demanding than traditional PCBs in terms of material performance, processing precision and interlayer alignment, making traditional equipment inadequate for such applications. To address this, Victory Giant Technology has equipped its production lines with a full suite of advanced manufacturing systems tailored for AI computing, and established long-term partnerships with leading global equipment suppliers, maintaining a strong lead in smart manufacturing and large-scale production. Compared with traditional production facilities, its smart factories have shortened lead times by 3-5 days, reduced manpower needs by approximately 50%, and increased production capacity by approximately 40%. Such manufacturing efficiency constitutes dual advantages in cost and delivery in the capital-intensive industry.

These advantages are further amplified by deep customer engagement. Victory Giant Technology typically participates in joint development at the outset of the end-product lifecycle. This strategy of early involvement and full-process tracking has significantly strengthened customer stickiness. In 2025, the top five customers collectively contributed 51% of total revenue, representing a substantial increase from 25.1% in 2024. Notably, sales from the single largest customer reached RMB5.74 billion, accounting for 29.7% of total revenue. The rapid rise in customer concentration, on the one hand, corroborates the explosive growth in orders for AI computing, and on the other hand, puts the Company’s capabilities in capacity expansion and supply chain risk management to the test.

In terms of its global layout, Victory Giant Technology operates five major production centers centered around its Huizhou headquarters. Concurrently, it is establishing new production facilities for HDIs and MLPCBs in Thailand and Vietnam and further automating its production processes in Melaka, Malaysia. Of greater strategic significance are two key acquisitions: the acquisition of PSL in 2023 (which owns MFSS, a globally recognized FPC manufacturer), establishing a comprehensive “RPCB + FPC” product matrix. This move has further broaden its customer base to companies in sectors such as automotive electronics (including automotive sensors and display modules), industrial control and high-end medical devices. In 2024, the Company acquired APCB Electronics (Thailand) Co., Ltd., upgraded and renovated its production lines, and introduced high-end manufacturing capacity, thereby strengthening its global delivery network serving overseas customers.

Looking ahead, the rapid development of artificial intelligence, 5G communications and the Internet of Things is driving structural growth in the global PCB market. According to public data, the global market sizes of multilayer PCBs, HDI PCBs (High Density Interconnect PCBs), FPCs (Flexible Printed Circuits) and package substrates are projected to reach US$34.5 billion, US$16.9 billion, US$15.5 billion and US$17.8 billion respectively by 2029. Victory Giant Technology (HuiZhou) Co., Ltd. has conducted 2–3 years of advanced technological R&D reserves focused on core AI computing fields such as GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and CPU (Central Processing Unit). The Company has prioritized breakthroughs in cutting-edge markets including AI computing power, AI servers, intelligent driving systems and humanoid robots, and will continue to maintain its leading technological edge.

JS Global Lifestyle Company Limited (Stock Code: 1691.HK) (“JS Global” or the “Company”) has announced its annual results for 2025 – a period in which it has demonstrated a strong recovery in core operations. Although reported profit was affected by non-recurring items, adjusted net profit surged 338.0% year-on-year to US$31.0 million, significantly exceeding market expectations and marking a clear inflection point in the Company’s profit recovery.

In 2025, the Company’s total revenue reached US$1.66 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.1%. Gross profit margin improved by 0.2 percentage points to 32.2%, reflecting ongoing optimization of product mix and operational efficiency. Revenue from third parties grew 14.8% year-on-year to US$1.565 billion, with both business segments delivering strong performance: the Joyoung segment saw third-party revenue stabilize and recover, with profit improvement accelerating; the SharkNinja APAC segment recorded third-party revenue of US$533 million, up 55.6% year-on-year, and continued serving as the Company’s core growth engine. Within this segment, revenue in Australia and New Zealand grew 73.2% year-on-year to US$255 million, driven notably by new product categories such as ice-cream makers, frozen drink makers and coffee machines. Revenue in Japan increased 41.2% year-on-year to US$158 million, supported by the strong sales performance of key products, including lightweight cordless vacuum cleaners and smart blenders. Both regions benefited from the Company’s ongoing new product launches and enhanced brand recognition, with the expansion strategy continuing to deliver favorable results.

The Company has stated that, excluding the impact of one-off or non-operating items, operating profit has already improved substantially. With further optimization of selling and administrative expense ratios, the Company’s earnings resilience is expected to be bolstered further in 2026.

Several financial institutions have issued research notes highlighting JS Global’s currently positive trajectory, the consequence of “Joyoung profit recovery + SharkNinja APAC scale expansion”. Huatai Securities maintains a “Buy” rating with a target price of HK$2.38, while Guotai Haitong Securities has assigned an “Overweight” rating, expressing confidence in the Company’s medium-term profit resilience. The Company’s management has affirmed its commitment to continue driving product innovation and global market expansion and delivering sustainable growth value to shareholders.
