BTQ (Nasdaq: BTQ) announced QPerfect's MIMIQ™ has been integrated into SDT's QUREKA™ to launch a cloud-based quantum emulation service now live for customers.
The service went live February 1, 2026, runs on a secure European cloud, emulates circuits of up to thousands of qubits and millions of gates, and is operated commercially by SDT.
BTQ holds a 16.67% interest in QPerfect and anticipates acquiring full ownership pending customary closing conditions and French FDI approval.
BTQ (Nasdaq: BTQ) and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) announced a 2026 collaboration to validate BTQ's Quantum Compute In Memory (QCIM) chip in silicon, advancing the program into early silicon validation toward commercialization. The work will benchmark QCIM's performance, speed, and energy efficiency for post‑quantum cryptographic workloads, de‑risk architecture choices, and support engineering, integration, and commercial discussions. This effort complements BTQ's separate ICTK collaboration focused on a fully integrated, deployable post‑quantum chipset and builds on a partnership that began in 2022.
BTQ Technologies (NASDAQ: BTQ) announced it was added to the VanEck Quantum Computing UCITS ETF (ISIN IE0007Y8Y157), a European UCITS ETF that holds 30 companies focused on quantum computing and is rebalanced quarterly. The ETF reported total net assets of approximately $524.5 million as of Jan 8, 2026. BTQ said the inclusion broadens access to European investors and reflects its footprint in post-quantum cryptography, quantum secure hardware, and related software across BTQ Group operating divisions and partnerships.
The ETF seeks to track the MarketVector Global Quantum Leaders Total Return Net Index and was listed in Europe in May 2025.
BTQ Technologies (NASDAQ: BTQ) launched the Bitcoin Quantum testnet on Jan 12, 2026, a permissionless, NIST-compliant quantum-safe Bitcoin fork that replaces ECDSA with ML-DSA (FIPS 204). The testnet invites miners, developers, researchers, and users to run nodes, audit cryptography, and stress-test quantum-resistant transactions ahead of a potential mainnet migration.
BTQ highlighted 6.26 million BTC (approx. $650–750 billion) with exposed public keys at risk, projects accumulating ~100,000 BTQ tokens in the first 12 months via a 3% mining-pool fee, and published technical specs including a 64 MiB block size to accommodate larger ML-DSA signatures.
BTQ Technologies (Nasdaq: BTQ) appointed Lionel de Saint-Exupéry to its Board of Directors and named him Chair of the Audit Committee on January 5, 2026.
Mr. de Saint-Exupéry is Executive Chairman of Saintex Capital Management and former Vice Chairman of KGI Financial Holdings and CDIB Capital Group. The release highlights his role in growing KGI group's assets from ~$8 billion in 2006 to ~$125 billion today and his prior work on >$45 billion of transactions at Lehman Brothers. BTQ's CEO cited his capital markets and governance experience as a benefit for BTQ's scaling of quantum and post-quantum security solutions.
BTQ (Nasdaq: BTQ) issued a Year-End CEO letter outlining 2025 progress toward commercial post-quantum products across three pillars: QCIM secure elements, Quantum Secure Systems and Networks, and QPerfect neutral atom platforms. Key developments include a USD 15 million development and joint investment agreement with ICTK for QCIM, the asset acquisition of Radical Semiconductor, exercised option to acquire QPerfect with its MIMIQ emulator and QLU middleware, pilot QSSN deployments in Korea, and regulatory momentum including a DoD deadline to replace legacy cryptography by Dec 31, 2030. The letter reports technical milestones such as a 20x reduction in physical qubit requirements and targeted QCIM performance metrics for mass deployments.
BTQ Technologies (Nasdaq: BTQ) announced a strategic investment in Keypair on December 18, 2025 to co-own Keypair's existing and future post-quantum cryptography (PQC) intellectual property and jointly develop hardware-rooted, post-quantum-ready security for infrastructure-grade systems.
The collaboration links BTQ's quantum-safe roadmap with Keypair's at-scale secure-element deployments across Korean critical infrastructure (including LIG Nex1, Hanwha Systems, and KEPCO) and integrates with BTQ partners Finger, Danal, and QUINSA to accelerate commercial rollouts in payments, identity, and regulated institutional systems.
BTQ Technologies (Nasdaq: BTQ) announced inclusion in the Defiance Quantum ETF (NASDAQ: QTUM) on December 15, 2025. The ETF tracks the BlueStar Machine Learning and Quantum Computing Index (BQTUM). BTQ says the listing is intended to broaden institutional and retail visibility as the company advances post-quantum cryptography, quantum-secure hardware, and quantum security infrastructure for mission-critical networks.
Management framed the addition as a milestone aligned with BTQ's strategy to accelerate the transition from classical networks to the quantum internet and to attract investors seeking exposure to full-stack quantum and practical post-quantum security solutions.
BTQ Technologies (Nasdaq: BTQ) announced that Delphi Digital published in-depth research validating BTQ's Bitcoin Quantum initiative as a quantum-safe, Bitcoin-compatible “quantum canary” network. The report highlights BTQ's Bitcoin Quantum Core 0.2 milestone, which demonstrated a quantum-safe Bitcoin flow by replacing ECDSA with NIST-standardized ML-DSA for wallet creation, signing, and verification.
Delphi notes Bitcoin Quantum's role for institutional migration rehearsals, post-quantum signature benchmarking, quantum-native proof-of-work research, and reuse of the stack for stablecoins and custody (including QSSN).
BTQ Technologies (Nasdaq: BTQ) announced it was added to the MSCI Canada Small Cap Index, effective November 25, 2025, following MSCI's October index review.
The MSCI Canada Small Cap Index tracks the small-cap segment of Canada’s equity market and covers about 14% of Canada’s free float-adjusted market capitalization. Inclusion reflects BTQ's market growth, liquidity and free-float qualifications under MSCI's methodology and can increase visibility to institutional investors and index-tracking funds.
The company highlighted this milestone as recognition of its scaling of a full-stack neutral-atom quantum computing platform and post-quantum security solutions across multiple sectors.
