Partnership: Exclusive U.S. sole-source contract with Burke Products.
Market: $50B+ identity verification market by 2030, per industry analysts.

Event: Veterans Day showcase, November 10, 2025, at Phoenix Park Hotel, DC.
VerifyU equips military institutions and Burke Products with an AI framework for instant authentication of identities and service records. Using blockchain, it mints Valor tokens to connect service members to benefits, discounts, and services. “Preventing stolen valor is imperative,” said Roger Stone, political consultant, citing the case of Air Force veteran RJ Majewski, whose record was misrepresented.
Stolen valor drains over $100 million annually from U.S. veteran benefits, per VA reports, impacting disability compensation and GI Bill funds. Globally, identity theft costs exceed $50 billion, with the World Economic Forum projecting $8 trillion by 2027. Fraud erodes veteran opportunities, diverts hiring quotas, and risks national security.
Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI: “VerifyU delivers a scalable, trusted sonic fingerprint for real-time verification, aligned with federal compliance.”
Aaron Bahkshi, CEO of Burke Products: “VerifyU is a replicable, scalable product in a fast-growing sector.”
Frank Mir, Arsenal Group Adviser: “This is a bipartisan cause to standardize military records.”
Christopher Neiweem, Iraq War veteran: “VerifyU supports workforce decisions and prevents imposters.”
The identity verification market is projected to grow from $12B in 2024 to over $50B by 2030, driven by defense and government demand. VerifyU’s patents, including U.S. Patent Nos. 11,195,362, 11,315,150, and 11,593,515, ensure exclusivity. Datavault AI’s stock (Nasdaq: DVLT) is at $5.04, with a market cap of $40.64M, though it faces financial challenges with negative EBITDA.
