Datavault AI Signs as Exclusive Technology Partner Powering Mandela Digital and the Mandela Dollar
The Mandela Dollar (MUSD) is purpose-built to expand dollar-denominated financial access across Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and worldwide diaspora remittance corridors, with Datavault AI’s platforms as its exclusive technology stack
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, today announced it has signed a three-party joint venture agreement with Unity Reserve Holdings L.L.C. (“Unity Reserve”) and Mandela Dlamini & Manaway L.L.C. (“MDM LLC”) forming Mandela Digital, the venture developing the Mandela Dollar (MUSD), a proposed 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin designed to advance financial inclusion across the Global South and beyond. Under the agreement, Datavault AI becomes Mandela Digital’s founding and exclusive technology partner, deploying its full technology stack to power the venture.
Mandela Digital was conceived and structured by Unity Reserve, which brought together two partners: MDM LLC, an organization affiliated with members of the Mandela family and dedicated to advancing Nelson Mandela’s legacy through technology-driven initiatives, and Datavault AI, a NASDAQ-listed technology company in secure asset digitization. The signed agreement formalizes the initiative announced on February 19, 2026, when Datavault AI and members of the Nelson Mandela family introduced the venture, and advances the Mandela Dollar introduction of March 2026. The joint venture is built on a founding vision to pair the moral authority of Nelson Mandela’s legacy with advanced digital financial infrastructure in service of populations that remain unbanked or underbanked.
