DatChat Inc (DATS), a secure messaging and social media company, announced that its former subsidiary RPM Interactive has filed a registration statement for an initial public offering (IPO). RPM Interactive, an AI-generated publishing and software company, plans to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "RPMI" [1].

DatChat currently owns approximately 34% of RPM Interactive, holding 12.5 million shares. The Benchmark Company, LLC will act as the sole book-running manager for the offering. While the specific number of shares and price range for the IPO have not been determined, the offering will be made available through a prospectus [1].

RPM Interactive's move towards going public represents a potential value creation opportunity for DatChat shareholders through their substantial ownership stake. The S-1 registration filing is the first formal step in the IPO process, indicating concrete progress toward public market access. This development is particularly noteworthy as RPM Interactive operates in the AI-generated publishing and software sector, which has attracted significant investor interest [1].

The IPO potentially converts DatChat's substantial private company holdings into a more transparent, liquid public market asset. For DatChat shareholders, this represents a possible value-unlocking event, as private subsidiary stakes are often undervalued within parent company structures. The engagement of The Benchmark Company as book-running manager signals professional guidance through the complex IPO process [1].

While the filing itself doesn't guarantee IPO completion or success, it represents meaningful progress toward potentially surfacing value from DatChat's significant ownership position in RPM Interactive. The market will now await the preliminary prospectus for additional details on RPM Interactive's business model, financials, and growth trajectory [1].
