WISeKey International Holding (WKEY) Stock News

WISeQey (WKEY) completed WISeKey’s redomiciliation from Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands through a cross-border merger effective October 1, 2026. WISeKey merged into its wholly owned subsidiary WISeQey, the surviving company.

Existing WISeKey American Depositary Shares (ADSs) and Class B shares will trade on Nasdaq and SIX, respectively, through October 2. WISeQey ordinary shares are expected to begin trading as WQEY on the Nasdaq Global Market and SIX on October 5, with SIX as the primary listing. Each WISeKey ADS will be exchanged for one-half of one WISeQey ordinary share. Each WISeKey Class B share will be exchanged for one ordinary share, unless its holder elected to receive unlisted WISeQey Class B shares; that election provides ten WISeQey Class B shares for each WISeKey Class B share.

WISeKey (WKEY) reported approximately $11.4 million in unaudited first-half 2026 revenue, up approximately 116% from the same period in 2025.

Gross profit rose 192% to $5.5 million, with gross margin reaching approximately 48%. Operating loss widened to $40.9 million from $27.3 million, and net loss widened to $36.4 million from $22.3 million. Cash and restricted cash totaled approximately $495 million at June 30, with minimal debt. WISeKey reaffirmed expected FY 2026 revenue growth of 50% to 100%. SEALSQ's estimated commercial pipeline exceeds $225 million through 2029, subject to conversion risks.

Shareholders approved redomiciliation to the British Virgin Islands, expected October 1, with WISeQey shares expected to trade October 5. Proposed WISeSat and Quantisimo combinations remain conditional. Post-quantum product revenue is expected in Q4 2026; a proposed Jura semiconductor center carries indicative investment of CHF 40 million to CHF 60 million over six years.

WISeKey (WKEY) expects its merger into British Virgin Islands subsidiary WISeQey and its redomiciliation to take effect October 2, 2026. The cross-border merger depends on completion of registration procedures. WISeQey would survive, assuming WISeKey’s assets, rights, liabilities and obligations; WISeKey would cease to exist separately. Shareholders approved the merger and related agreement on September 9.

WISeQey ordinary shares are expected to begin trading under WQEY on the Nasdaq Global Market and SIX Swiss Exchange on or about October 5, with SIX as their primary listing. WISeKey expects October 2 to be the last trading day for its Nasdaq American depositary shares and SIX Class B shares. After delisting and cancellation, holders will receive WISeQey securities under previously communicated exchange ratios, elections and settlement procedures. The company does not expect its businesses or operations to change; WISeQey’s operational headquarters and effective management would remain in Switzerland.

WISeKey (WKEY) reported Class B share election results for its proposed merger into WISeQey, its renamed British Virgin Islands subsidiary.

WISeQey, formerly WISeKey International Corp., changed its name effective September 16, 2026, and will survive the merger. The election closed on September 23, 2026, at 14:00 CEST. Holders of 518 WISeKey Class B shares validly chose the WISeQey Class B option. Upon completion, WISeQey expects to issue 5,180 Class B shares for those elections, 4,176,654 ordinary shares for the remaining WISeKey Class B shares, including those represented by ADSs, and 1,819,060 Class F shares for outstanding WISeKey Class A shares.

Eligible holders could elect one ordinary share or ten Class B shares per WISeKey Class B share; the Class B option was subject to a cap and allocation rules. Holders without a timely, valid election default to the ordinary-share option. WISeKey shareholders approved the proposed merger on September 9, 2026. Closing remains subject to outstanding conditions and Swiss and BVI procedures; an effective date and trading start date have not been announced.

WISeKey (WKEY) and OISTE.ORG announced an expansion of their Quantum Root Key initiative into a post-quantum Root of Trust architecture for AI systems. The architecture is designed to give AI models and agents cryptographically verifiable identities linked to organizations, devices and authorized human operators. It uses NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms, including ML-DSA and ML-KEM.

WISeKey says the architecture could help verify model integrity, agent authorization and signed AI actions. Its subsidiary SEALSQ (LAES) could extend the Root of Trust into secure elements and other semiconductor hardware. The announcement describes potential uses but gives no deployment date or commercial terms.

WISeKey (WKEY), its subsidiary SEALSQ (LAES) and the Republic and Canton of Jura signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 21 September 2026 to develop a Swiss Post-Quantum Semiconductor and Cybersecurity Center in Jura, with an indicative investment of CHF 40–60 million over six years.

The proposed “Jura Center” would focus on design, personalization, testing and secure provisioning of post-quantum semiconductors based on SEALSQ’s QS7001 Quantum Shield, including NIST-standardized ML-KEM and ML-DSA algorithms. The project targets about 40 jobs by year 2, 150 by year 5 and 250+ by year 8, with at least 60% of roles expected to be filled by Jura residents. It is envisaged as a public‑private partnership mainly financed by WISeKey, SEALSQ, private investors and industrial partners, with Jura acting as catalyst and exploring support within Swiss frameworks.

WISeKey International Holding (WKEY) reports that shareholders approved at the September 9, 2026 Extraordinary General Meeting the board’s proposal to redomicile the company from Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands via a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary WISeKey International Corp. in the British Virgin Islands.

Shareholders approved the June 26, 2026 merger agreement under which WISeKey will merge into WISeKey BVI, with WISeKey BVI as the surviving entity and future publicly traded parent of the WISeKey group. Completion of the merger and redomiciliation remains subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. The company said the new corporate structure is intended to support continued international growth and access to global capital markets, and it plans to keep shareholders informed on remaining implementation steps.

WISeKey (WKEY) and subsidiaries SEALSQ (LAES) and WISeSat presented their commercial Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud (QSOC) initiative at the International Space Summit in Paris on September 9–10, 2026. QSOC aims to create a secure, sovereign orbital infrastructure by combining WISeSat’s secure satellite constellation with SEALSQ’s post-quantum semiconductors, PKI, quantum random-number generation and identity-management technologies.

The program plans progressive deployment of up to 100 satellites through 2033 to deliver post-quantum-secured communications, certified quantum randomness and identity services from space to governments, defense, financial institutions, critical-infrastructure operators and enterprises.

WISeKey International Holding (WKEY) has joined the Hedera Council’s network of Strategic and Community Partners as Hedera’s fourth Strategic Partner, alongside the Global Blockchain Business Council, Halborn and the Institutes RiskStream Collaborative.

The collaboration aims to combine WISeKey’s cybersecurity, digital identity, IoT and post‑quantum secure semiconductor expertise with Hedera’s distributed ledger technology to accelerate trusted digital ecosystems and machine‑to‑machine transactions. The partnership builds on an existing use case, where Hashgraph Group launched the QAIT Q-Day Security Assessment Platform on SEALCOIN AG’s Quantum Marketplace to help organizations assess quantum‑related cybersecurity risks.
