Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), a leader in building enterprise AI and data solutions, today announced growth in customers utilizing its Veritone Data Refinery (VDR) solution to monetize their data. The company also announced it has seen a 3.5 times increase in data volume processed since Q2 2025 , reaching a new milestone of 22.2 trillion tokens. ¹ Organizations spanning media, entertainment, production, and more are leveraging VDR to index and format unstructured data into tokens that can be used to train AI models, positioning it as a leading solution for proprietary data owners to tap into a powerful revenue stream.

“Organizations are sitting on a wealth of largely untapped proprietary data,” said Ryan Steelberg, CEO of Veritone. “By empowering data owners to monetize their data through a secure and scalable platform, we’re not only helping them unlock new revenue streams but also helping these organizations protect their data and content. This is a step forward for both our customers and the industry as a whole.”

As the generative AI market continues to expand, Veritone remains committed to advancing the capabilities of its VDR solution, empowering more organizations to capitalize on their data archives. With its ability to bridge the gap between data silos and actionable monetization opportunities, Veritone is helping define what’s possible in the AI-driven data economy.
