[6-K] BTQ Technologies Corp. Current Report (Foreign Issuer)

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BTQ Technologies Corp. reported a sharply higher net loss of $19.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared with $1.8 million a year earlier, driven mainly by $11.6 million of share-based compensation and increased R&D and marketing spending.

Quarterly revenue was $0, down from $250,000 in 2025. Cash fell to $12.1 million from $20.9 million at year-end, after $8.0 million was used in operating activities. The accumulated deficit reached $85.2 million, and management highlights material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without substantial additional near-term financing.

Insights

Equity research analyst

BTQ’s Q1 shows rapid cash burn, heavy stock-based pay, and explicit going concern risk.

BTQ Technologies posted a Q1 2026 net loss of $19.9 million versus $1.8 million a year earlier, with no revenue after a prior $250,000 license fee ended. The main drivers were much higher operating costs and $11.6 million of share-based compensation tied to options, RSUs, and PSUs.

Operating cash outflow was $8.0 million, reducing cash to $12.1 million at March 31, 2026. The accumulated deficit rose to $85.2 million. Management explicitly states that continued losses and negative cash flow create a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and that substantial near-term external financing is required.

BTQ is funding an aggressive build-out of post-quantum cryptography and quantum-computing initiatives, including QCIM, Bitcoin Quantum, QSSN, and a stake in QPerfect. However, contractual R&D and lease commitments of $14.5 million alongside reduced cash reserves heighten financing risk. Future filings and capital-raising transactions will be important to understand how BTQ addresses its stated liquidity needs.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

BTQ Technologies Corp. (formerly Sonora Gold & Silver Corp.) ("the Company") was incorporated on November 23, 1983 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The principal activity of the Company is the development of computer-based technology related to post-quantum cryptography, particularly as it applies to blockchain and related technologies, and their protection from the emerging security risk of quantum computing. The Company's registered office is located at Suite 2500, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V7Y 1B3. The Company's common shares trade on both Cboe Canada and Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "BTQ".

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the period ended March 31, 2026, the Company has not generated any revenues, has a net loss, and has negative cash flow from operations. As at March 31, 2026, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $85,178,897. The Company's ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital will be obtained from external financing to meet the Company's liabilities and commitments as they become due, although there is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These factors indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") applicable to interim financial information, as outlined in International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and using the accounting policies consistent with those in the audited financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025 except as detailed below.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical cost, except for certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.

Basis of Presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, BTQ AG, a company incorporated in the Principality of Liechtenstein, BTQ Technologies Australia Pty Ltd., a company incorporated in Australia, and BTQ Technologies (USA) Ltd. a company incorporation in the State of Delaware, U.S.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. Control exists where the parent entity has power over the investee and is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (continued)

Leases

Under IFRS 16 - Leases, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date for leases greater than 12 months. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated over lesser of useful economic life and the remaining term of the lease and are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are subsequently reduced by lease payments net of interest expense calculated using the effective interest method.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease.

The termination of the lease is accounted for as a decrease in the scope of the lease with remaining lease liability and right-of-use assets derecognized and any gain or loss relating to the termination is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments ("Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7")

In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 which clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system, clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows such as instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance targets; and update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at FVOCI. Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company adopted these amendments on January 1, 2026, and they did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to the structure of the statement of earnings (loss), required disclosures in the financial statements for certain earnings or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. IFRS 18 will apply for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and also applies to comparative information. The Company is still in the process of assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

(a) Fair Values

Fair value hierarchy

The following provides a description of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

• Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
• Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company's statement of financial position as at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 as follows:

		Fair value measurements using
		Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) $			Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) $			Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) $			Balance, March 31, 2026 $
Investments		5,731,124			-			1,732,370			7,463,494

		Fair value measurements using
		Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) $			Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) $			Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) $			Balance, December 31, 2025 $
Investments		7,098,893			-			1,038,050			8,136,943

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(a) Fair Values (continued)

The fair values of the Company's other financial instruments, which include cash, short-term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liability, and due to related parties, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

(b) Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and short-term investments with high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

(c) Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in a foreign currency.

The following tables indicate the impact of foreign currency exchange risk on net working capital as at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The tables below also provide a sensitivity analysis of a 10% strengthening of the foreign currency against functional currencies identified which would have increased (decreased) the Company's net loss by the amounts shown in the tables below. A 10% weakening of the foreign currency against the functional currencies would have had the equal but opposite effect as at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

As at March 31, 2026		TWD			KRW			US$
Cash		789,017			-			287,474
Investments		-			6,247,441,560			-
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(161,281	)		-			(566,980	)
Lease liability		-			-			(606,257	)
Total foreign currency financial assets and liabilities		627,736			6,247,441,560			(885,763	)
Impact of a 10% strengthening or weakening of foreign exchange rate		62,774			624,744,156			(88,576	)

As at December 31, 2025		TWD			KRW			US$
Cash		43,511			-			218,798
Investments		-			7,472,518,740			-
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(185,400	)		-			(782,639	)
Total foreign currency financial assets and liabilities		(141,889	)		7,472,518,740			(563,841	)
Impact of a 10% strengthening or weakening of foreign exchange rate		(14,189	)		747,251,874			(56,384	)

(d) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as it does not have any liabilities with variable rates.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OVERVIEW

The principal activity of the Company is the development of computer-based technology related to post-quantum cryptography, particularly as it applies to blockchain and related technologies, and their protection from the emerging security risk of quantum computing. Backed by a broad patent portfolio, BTQ is seeking to deliver a full-stack, neutral-atom quantum computing platform with end-to-end hardware, middleware, and post-quantum security solutions for finance, telecommunications, logistics, life sciences, and defense.

BTQ is listed on Cboe Canada and the Nasdaq Global Market (the "Nasdaq") under the ticker symbol "BTQ". The Company commenced trading on Nasdaq on September 26, 2025.

Acquisition

On December 31, 2021 (as amended on April 29, 2022, July 30, 2022, and November 29, 2022), the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with BTQ AG (the "Acquisition"). BTQ AG was incorporated in the Principality of Liechtenstein on March 26, 2021 by a group of experienced post-quantum cryptographers with an interest in addressing the urgent security threat that a large-scale universal quantum computer poses to the Bitcoin network.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company completed a private placement (the "Offering") of 18,001,250 subscription receipts at a price of $0.40 per subscription receipt, for gross proceeds of $7,200,500, with each subscription receipt automatically converting with no additional consideration into one post-Consolidation Share (each as defined below) concurrent with the closing of the Acquisition.

On February 17, 2023, the Company closed the Acquisition resulting in the issuance of 92,000,000 post-Consolidation Shares to the BTQ AG shareholders. Concurrent with the closing, the Company changed its name from Sonora Gold & Silver Corp. ("SOC") to BTQ Technologies Corp. and completed a consolidation (the "Consolidation") of its common shares on the basis of ten pre-Consolidation shares to one post-Consolidation share (each, a "Share"). Immediately following the Consolidation, and excluding those Shares issued pursuant to the Acquisition or the Offering, the former securityholders of SOC held an aggregate of 8,747,629 Shares and 350,000 stock options in the Company. All Share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the Consolidation for all periods presented.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

On closing of the Acquisition, the gross proceeds of $7,200,500 from the Offering were released from escrow and each subscription receipt was converted into one Share. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company issued 2,500,000 Shares with a fair value of $1,000,000 to a finder as a success fee. In connection with the Offering, the Company also paid $93,174 in finders' fees and issued 232,936 finders' warrants exercisable at an exercise price of $0.40 per Share for a period of two years.

Highlights for the period ended March 31, 2026

On January 15, 2026, the Company invested $694,320 (US$500,000) in redeemable convertible preferred shares of Keypair Co. Ltd., a technology company located in South Korea.

Highlights for the year ended December 31, 2025

On July 11, 2025, the Company issued 5,555,555 common shares at $7.20 per share for gross proceeds of $39,999,996. In connection with this offering, the Company incurred a finder's fee of $2,800,000 and share issuance costs of $109,589. The Company also issued 138,888 finder's warrants exercisable at $12.60 per common share expiring on July 11, 2030.

On October 27, 2025, the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement and a Development Service Agreement with ICTK Co., Ltd. (the "ICTK Agreements"), a technology company located in South Korea. Under the Share Subscription Agreement, the Company acquired 452,058 common shares of ICTK for KRW 7,180,489,272 (approximately $6.8 million) on December 19, 2025. Under the Development Service Agreement, the Company has engaged ICTK to carry out the development work (the "Services") related to Quantum Computation-In-Memory ("QCIM") IP verification and development of a quantum security chip incorporating QCIM application for US$10,000,000. The amount is to be paid by the Company in installments based on the Company's acceptance of each relevant milestone. Each party provides rights to use its background technology and know-how only for the performance of the Services, and the parties jointly own the intellectual property developed under the agreement. The Company will need to enter into a separate agreement with ICTK to commercialize the deliverables.

On November 7, 2025, the Company entered into an Ordinary Share Subscription Agreement and acquired 217,865 shares of QPerfect SAS ("QPerfect"), a technology company located in Strasbourg, France, for $3,263,521 (€2,000,000) which resulted in a 15.29% interest. Concurrent with the completion of this investment, the Company provided notice to exercise its option to acquire the remaining shares of QPerfect (the "QPerfect Acquisition") which will be paid in cash and common shares of the Company. The closing of the QPerfect Acquisition is subject to France's foreign direct investment approval process and final approval of Cboe Canada.

DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS

Principal Products

During fiscal 2025, the Company executed a significant strategic realignment, streamlining its product portfolio around three commercially focused product lines: QCIM, Bitcoin Quantum, and Quantum Stablecoin Settlement Network ("QSSN"). If the QPerfect Acquisition is completed, it is expected to provide the Company with vertically integrated quantum computing capabilities. The Company deprecated earlier-stage research programs to consolidate resources around what it believes to be its highest-value commercial opportunities.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

QCIM

QCIM is the Company's flagship hardware product: a quantum-secure compute-in-memory chip designed to implement fast, crypto-agile, energy-efficient post-quantum cryptography directly in silicon. QCIM supports NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, including ML-KEM and ML-DSA, in a compact, low-power form factor suitable for deployment in constrained environments such as smart cards, IoT endpoints, mobile devices, and hardware security modules. The chip is designed to support both post-quantum and traditional encryption methods, providing cryptographic agility as industry standards continue to evolve. The technology builds upon patents acquired from Radical Semiconductor and their founding team.

During 2025, the QCIM program advanced significantly from its prior preliminary research phase. In September 2025, Radical Semiconductor co-founders Sean Hackett and Zach Belateche joined BTQ full-time, with Sean Hackett leading silicon product development and Zach Belateche leading hardware security. With these additions, the Company intends to accelerate commercialization of the QCIM program. In October 2025, the Company signed the ICTK Agreements with ICTK, a leading South Korean secure-element manufacturer. The Development Services Agreement between the Company and ICTK (the "ICTK Development Agreement") covers the design, validation, tape-out, certification, and productization of a QCIM chip, with BTQ making an equity investment in ICTK under the Share Subscription Agreement.  The ICTK Agreements do not address commercialization rights or commercial manufacturing and production of the QCIM chip..

As of December 31, 2025, QCIM was in the pre-silicon validation phase, with architecture definition and prototyping underway. Subsequent to year-end 2025, the Company announced a 2026 collaboration with Taiwan's ITRI to validate QCIM in silicon and opened a commercialization hub in New York, New York, staffed with senior engineers to accelerate the path toward production-ready silicon.

The Company targets QCIM for deployment in high-assurance applications including cold and hardware wallets for digital assets, mobile authentication and fintech security, IoT endpoint protection, payment gateway infrastructure, and defense systems. The Company expects to deliver initial hardware to design partners on physical circuit boards for testing during 2026, with industry-specific certifications and broader commercialization to follow.

Bitcoin Quantum

Bitcoin Quantum is a permissionless, quantum-safe fork of Bitcoin that replaces Bitcoin's quantum-vulnerable Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm ("ECDSA") with Module-Lattice Digital Signature Algorithm ("ML-DSA"), the NIST-standardized post-quantum digital signature scheme published as Federal Information Processing Standard 204 in August 2024. Bitcoin Quantum is built on Bitcoin Core's proven codebase and incorporates a 64 MiB block size limit to accommodate post-quantum signatures, which are approximately 70 times larger than their classical counterparts, as well as a Post-Quantum Key infrastructure that enables the integration of future quantum-resistant signature algorithms as they become available.

Bitcoin Quantum addresses an increasingly urgent security concern: as of April 21, 2026 approximately 5.4 million BTC, representing approximately $350 billion in value, currently reside in addresses with exposed public keys that are vulnerable to future quantum attack. The product provides a production-grade proving ground for the cryptocurrency ecosystem to test quantum-resistant transactions and infrastructure without risking the Bitcoin mainnet, while also serving as a standalone quantum-safe network.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

In October 2025, the Company announced the first successful demonstration of Bitcoin Quantum Core Release 0.2, completing the full flow of quantum-safe wallet creation, transaction signing and verification, and mining. The Company also established the BTQ Foundation, co-chaired by BTQ, to coordinate industry-wide quantum defense efforts including open-source development, consensus building, standards setting, and migration frameworks. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company completed security auditing and preparation for testnet launch.

The Company launched the Bitcoin Quantum testnet, a public, permissionless network with a block explorer and mining pool, on January 12, 2026, which coincided with the 17th anniversary of Bitcoin's genesis block. Leading digital asset research firm Delphi Digital published research characterizing Bitcoin Quantum as a "quantum canary" network, a critical testbed for the industry's quantum transition.

The Company is building multiple expected revenue streams around Bitcoin Quantum. The Company anticipates additional revenue opportunities through security-as-a-service models, premium settlement layers, and quantum certification services as the network matures.

Bitcoin Quantum represents the commercial evolution of the Company's prior quantum proof-of-work research conducted in collaboration with Macquarie University, which explored the application of quantum computing to blockchain proof-of-work mechanisms. The Company's published roadmap targets enterprise pilot programs with institutional digital asset managers in the first quarter of 2026, expects mainnet launch with migration tools in the second quarter of 2026, and expects integration with exchanges and custody providers during the second half of 2026 or in 2027.

QSSN

QSSN is a quantum-secure validation and wallet infrastructure product designed to enable banks, payment providers, and digital asset platforms to issue and manage stablecoins with built-in protection against quantum-era cybersecurity threats. The product is designed to provide quantum-safe smart account wallets for EVM-compatible blockchain networks, using ML-DSA post-quantum cryptography within the ERC-4337 account abstraction standard. This approach delivers familiar wallet user experience with post-quantum security, requires no modifications to underlying blockchain protocols, and protects institutional customers against "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks in which adversaries capture encrypted data today for future quantum decryption.

QSSN operates as a specialized validation service layer rather than a new blockchain. Validator nodes generate quantum-secure attestations using dual-signature mechanisms that combine classical ECDSA signatures with post-quantum ML-DSA signatures, ensuring backward compatibility with existing systems while providing quantum resistance. Economic coordination, including fee collection, distribution, and staking, is managed through smart contracts deployed on established platforms, leveraging battle-tested infrastructure rather than building new financial primitives. The system is designed to support institutional-scale throughput and maintains cryptographic proofs of all validations for audit and regulatory compliance purposes.

The Company unveiled QSSN in June 2025 and subsequently commenced proof-of-concept deployments with Danal and Finger Inc. Group in South Korea. The Company intends to develop revenue opportunities from QSSN through validator node licensing fees, transaction-based validation fees with flexible pricing models supporting both crypto-native and fiat-linked pricing, and staking mechanisms that enable token holders to participate in network security.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

QPerfect

On November 7, 2025, the Company entered into an Ordinary Share Subscription Agreement and acquired 217,865 shares of QPerfect, a technology company located in Strasbourg, France, for $3,263,521 (€2,000,000) which resulted in a 15.29% interest. Concurrent with the completion of this investment, the Company provided notice to exercise its option to acquire the remaining shares of QPerfect (the "QPerfect Acquisition") which will be paid in cash and common shares of the Company. The closing of the QPerfect Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including France's foreign direct investment approval process and final approval of Cboe Canada.

QPerfect's MIMIQ™ emulator is capable of simulating circuits of up to thousands of qubits. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, MIMIQ was integrated into SDT's QUREKA™ platform for commercial cloud-based quantum emulation. If completed, the QPerfect Acquisition is expected to be a key component of the Company's goal to provide vertically integrated quantum computing capabilities including quantum error correction research applicable to QCIM and have a European R&D base at the European Center for Quantum Science ("CESQ") in Strasbourg.

If the QPerfect Acquisition is completed, it is expected to provide BTQ with vertically integrated quantum computing capabilities that complement and strengthen the Company's hardware and software technologies, including quantum error correction research applicable to QCIM development, quantum sensing capabilities relevant to precision navigation and timing applications, and a European research and development base within one of Europe's leading quantum science institutions.

Trends

Quantum Computing

A growing area within the broader quantum technology ecosystem is quantum-resilient or quantum-secure cybersecurity. As quantum computing systems scale in capability, they are expected to pose a potential risk to widely used public-key cryptographic systems, including RSA and elliptic curve cryptography, which underpin much of today's secure communications infrastructure. If sufficiently powerful quantum computers are realized, certain currently deployed cryptographic systems could become vulnerable to quantum algorithms such as Shor's Algorithm.

While large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers have not yet been realized, the pace of development continues to accelerate. Several companies and research institutions have published roadmaps outlining the development of larger and more capable quantum processors. For example, IBM has announced multi-year plans to scale quantum processors and quantum computing systems, while other technology companies and startups are pursuing different hardware architectures including trapped-ion, superconducting, and photonic quantum systems.

In parallel with private sector activity, governments around the world continue to increase funding for quantum technologies as part of national technology and security strategies. Countries including China, the European Union, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Canada have announced multi-billion-dollar national initiatives supporting quantum research, infrastructure, and commercialization.

Investment in quantum technology companies has also increased significantly in recent years, reflecting growing interest from venture capital, corporate investors, and government programs. As the ecosystem matures, industry participants are focusing not only on hardware development but also on software, cryptography, and security applications designed to support a future quantum-enabled computing environment.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

Post-Quantum Cryptography

One of the most significant developments within the quantum security sector is the advancement of post-quantum cryptography ("PQC"). PQC refers to cryptographic algorithms that are designed to remain secure against both classical and quantum computing attacks.

A major driver of development in this area is the work of the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST"), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce responsible for developing technology standards used globally across government and industry. NIST initiated a multi-year process in 2016 to evaluate and standardize quantum-resistant public-key cryptographic algorithms.

In 2022, NIST announced the first set of algorithms selected for standardization from its post-quantum cryptography competition, marking a significant milestone for the industry. Additional standards and implementation guidance have continued to progress, and organizations across sectors have begun planning migration strategies toward quantum-resistant cryptographic systems.

A key challenge associated with many PQC algorithms is the relatively large key sizes and signature sizes compared to classical cryptographic systems. These characteristics can create implementation challenges for certain applications, particularly those involving constrained computing environments, large distributed systems, or high-throughput transaction networks.

For example, distributed ledger technologies and blockchain networks rely on cryptographic signatures for transaction validation and consensus mechanisms. In some implementations, the larger signatures associated with certain PQC algorithms could significantly increase data storage requirements or network bandwidth usage if adopted directly without additional optimization.

As a result, research continues into cryptographic techniques that may enable quantum-resistant security while maintaining scalability and efficiency across modern digital infrastructure.

Competition and Market Participants

The quantum technology ecosystem includes a range of participants across hardware, software, and cybersecurity domains.

Several publicly traded companies are focused primarily on developing commercial quantum computing hardware platforms. These include companies such as D-Wave Quantum Inc., IonQ Inc., Rigetti Computing, Inc., and Arqit Quantum Inc.. These companies generally focus on the development of scalable quantum computing systems and related cloud-based quantum services rather than specifically on post-quantum cryptography or blockchain applications.

The post-quantum cybersecurity segment has also seen the emergence of several specialized companies and research organizations developing cryptographic solutions designed to address quantum computing risks.

Examples include PQShield, which develops quantum-secure cryptographic solutions and contributes to post-quantum cryptographic standardization efforts, and ISARA Corporation, which focuses on cryptographic risk management and quantum-safe security solutions for enterprises and government organizations.

In addition, large technology companies are exploring quantum-resilient security approaches within broader enterprise technology platforms. For example, IBM provides enterprise blockchain and security solutions designed to support applications across industries such as supply chains, financial services, healthcare, and government.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

Another notable participant in the broader quantum technology ecosystem is SandboxAQ, an enterprise software company that develops solutions combining artificial intelligence and quantum-related technologies for applications including cybersecurity, materials science, and financial modeling.

Given the breadth of approaches being pursued across the industry, including hardware development, cryptographic research, and enterprise software solutions, the market for quantum-resilient security technologies is expected to include a variety of specialized participants, potential collaborators, and emerging standards over time.

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $19,927,935 (2025: $1,811,980). The main categories are listed below:

Revenue of $nil (2025: $250,000)

The Company's one year licensing agreement with ZKP Corp. ("ZKP"), a company controlled by the former COO of the Company, ended in May 2025.

Business development, marketing, and promotion of $1,924,351 (2025: $176,532)

The increase is due to new marketing and promotion initiatives during the period compared to the same period in the prior year. The Company spent more on marketing and promotion during the period to increase awareness of the Company's product development and programs.

General and administrative of $540,047 (2025: $97,348)

The increase is mainly due to the scaling of operations, including leasing of office space. The increase is also attributable to a significant increase in our liability insurance coverage as a result of the increased risk relating to our listing on Nasdaq in the third quarter of 2025.

Professional fees of $1,377,176 (2025: $646,258)

The increase is mainly due to higher professional and legal fees incurred relating to enhanced reporting standards following the Nasdaq listing and prospective corporate development activities.

Research and development of $2,078,589 (2025: $293,541)

The increase is due to the acceleration of research and development activities starting in the last quarter of 2025 including the hiring of additional US employees for the development of QCIM.

Share-based compensation of $11,599,839 (2025: $607,008)

The increase in share-based compensation was due to stock options, RSUs and PSUs granted during the current period for the additional employees hired, amendments to contracts for key personnel with increased responsibilities, and continued recognition of equity awards granted in the second half of 2025.

Unrealized loss on investment of $1,367,769 (2025: $nil)

On December 15, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement in which it acquired 452,058 common shares of ICTK Co., Ltd., a publicly traded company in South Korea for $6,776,806. As at March 31, 2026, the fair market value of the investment was $5,731,124, resulting in an unrealized loss of $1,367,768 for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 includes share-based compensation of $11,599,839 related to the issuance of stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units.

The net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 includes share-based compensation of $4,941,347 related to the issuance of stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units.

The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 includes share-based compensation of $4,505,665 related to the issuance of stock options and restricted share units.

Other than higher share-based compensation expense for the third and fourth quarters of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026 as outlined above, the increase in net loss for these quarters was due to the expansion of research and development activities, business development, and expenses incurred relating to listing on Nasdaq and corporate development activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at March 31, 2026, the Company had cash of $12,132,953 and working capital of $12,389,053 compared to cash of $20,939,224 and working capital of $20,239,094 as at December 31, 2025.

The Company's operations used cash of $8,005,077 (2025: $1,485,026) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The Company's investing activities used cash of $787,555 (2025: provided $5,751). The Company's financing activities used $13,639 (2025: provided $176,175).

The Company's aggregate operating, investing, and financing activities during the period ended March 31, 2026 resulted in a decrease in its cash balance of $8,806,271 (2025: $1,303,100).

Contractual Obligations		Payments Due by Period
		Total $			Less than 1 Year $			1-3 Years $			4-5 Years $			After 5 Years $
Lease obligations		1,170,508			233,100			487,390			450,018			-
Research and development obligations		13,297,597			1,435,507			7,675,470			4,186,620			-
Total contractual obligations		14,468,105			1,668,607			8,162,860			4,636,638			-

The Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due in the short term. While the Company has been successful in obtaining the necessary financing through the issuance of common shares and convertible loans in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to raise funds in this manner in the future and there remain material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The directors regularly review cash flow forecasts to determine whether the Company has sufficient cash reserves to meet future working capital requirements and discretionary business development opportunities.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the period ended March 31, 2026, the Company has no revenues, has a net loss, and has negative cash flow from operations. As at March 31, 2026, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $85,178,897. The Company's ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining substantial additional financing in the near term and, in the future, generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. External financing is required in order to meet the Company's liabilities and commitments as they become due and to extend the Company's cash runway. There is no assurance that funding will be available to the Company on a timely basis, will be obtained on terms favourable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its objectives or its obligations as they become due. Failure to raise additional substantial financing in the near term will adversely impact the Company's ability to achieve its intended business objectives because without substantial additional capital, the Company may not be able to advance its research and development initiatives or meet its liabilities and commitments as they become due. The Company is reviewing its operating costs to identify those that can be reduced until such time that it can raise additional financing. The Company could be further required to significantly reduce its operating expenses and delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its research and development initiatives. The Company's future viability is dependent on its ability raise additional substantial capital in the near term to finance its operations. These factors indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments ("Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7")

In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 which clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system, clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows such as instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance targets; and update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at FVOCI. Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company adopted these amendments on January 1, 2026, and they did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements ("IFRS 18") which will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to the structure of the consolidated statement of earnings (loss), required disclosures in the consolidated financial statements for certain earnings or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's consolidated financial statements and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary consolidated financial statements and notes in general. IFRS 18 will apply for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and also applies to comparative information. The Company is still in the process of assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. 

Research and development costs

Research costs are recognized as an expense when incurred but development costs may be capitalized as intangible assets if certain conditions are met as described in IAS 38 Intangible Assets. Management has determined that development costs do not meet the conditions for capitalization under IAS 38 and all research and development costs have been expensed.

Share-based compensation

Fair values of stock options are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Estimating fair value requires determining the most appropriate valuation model for a grant of equity instruments, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. Option-pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and, therefore, existing models do not necessarily provide reliable measurement of the fair value of the Company's stock options and performance warrants.

The Company also applies judgment in determining the expected vesting period and probability of achieving performance conditions associated with performance share units. These estimates are based on management's expectations of future performance and milestones, and may be revised as additional information becomes available. Changes in assumptions could impact the amount and timing of share-based compensation expense recognized.

Lease

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease, where readily determinable, or the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Determining the incremental borrowing rate requires judgment and considers factors including lease term, economic environment, and the Company's credit risk. Changes in these assumptions could impact the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

Deferred income taxes

The determination of income tax expense and the composition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities involves judgment and estimates as to the future taxable earnings, expected timing of reversals of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and interpretations of tax laws. The Company is subject to assessments by tax authorities who may interpret the tax law differently. Changes in these interpretations, judgments, and estimates may materially affect the final amount of current and deferred income tax provisions, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and results of operations.

Going concern presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The assessment of the Company's ability to source future operations and continue as a going concern involves judgement. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. If the going concern assumption is not appropriate for the financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenue and the expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Fair Values

The following provides a description of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

● Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

● Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

● Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company's statement of financial position as at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 as follows:

		Fair value measurements using
		Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) $			Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) $			Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) $			Balance, March 31, 2026 $
Investments		5,731,124			-			1,732,370			7,463,494

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

		Fair value measurements using
		Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) $			Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) $			Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) $			Balance, December 31, 2025 $
Investments		7,098,893			-			1,038,050			8,136,943

The fair values of the Company's other financial instruments, which include cash, short-term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liability, and due to related party, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and short-term investments. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and short-term investments with high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in a foreign currency.

The following tables indicate the impact of foreign currency exchange risk on net working capital as at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The tables below also provide a sensitivity analysis of a 10% strengthening of the foreign currency against functional currencies identified which would have increased (decreased) the Company's net loss by the amounts shown in the tables below. A 10% weakening of the foreign currency against the functional currencies would have had the equal but opposite effect as at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as it does not have any liabilities with variable rates.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's objective to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity available to meet its liabilities when due. The Company relies on raising debt or equity financing in a timely manner. Refer to going concern disclosure under Liquidity and Capital Resources.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

In accordance with National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuer's Annual and Interim Filings, management is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures ("DCP") and internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR"). The CEO and the CFO have designed, or caused to be designed under their supervision, the Company's DCP to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries has been recorded, processed, summarized and disclosed in a timely manner in accordance with regulatory requirements and good business practices and that the Company's DCP will enable the Company to meet its ongoing disclosure requirements.

The CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's DCP and have concluded that based on this evaluation, our DCP is effective.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The CEO and the CFO have designed, or caused to be designed under their supervision, the Company's ICFR in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company's financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The CEO and CFO conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's ICFR as at March 31, 2026 based on Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission for the Company as a whole. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that no material weaknesses existed as at March 31, 2026.

LIMITATION OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's management, including its CEO and CFO, believe that any DCP and ICFR, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the reality that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the controls. The design of any control system is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control system will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective, control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no changes to our ICFR for the three month period ended March 31, 2026, that could have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

RISK FACTORS

The following is a summary of certain risk factors relating to the business. The risks presented below should not be considered exhaustive and may not be all of that the Company may face.

General Risks

Market risk for securities

There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Company's shares will be sustained. The market price for the Company's Shares may be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors such as government regulation, price fluctuations, share price movements of peer companies and competitors, as well as overall market movements, may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company's securities. The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of any particular company. Market forces may render it difficult or impossible for the Company to secure purchasers to purchase its securities at a price which will not lead to severe dilution to existing shareholders, or at all. In addition, shareholders may realize less than the original amount invested on dispositions of their shares during periods of such market price decline.

Foreign exchange risk

The Company is a Canadian company and fundraising is done in Canadian dollars, however, its operations are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars, Australian dollars, South Korean won, Euros, and Taiwan dollars. As a result, the Company is subject to foreign exchange risks relating to the relative value of these foreign currencies as compared to the Canadian dollar. A decline in these foreign currencies could result in a decrease in the real value of the Company's revenues and adversely impact financial performance.

Tax

No assurance can be given that new taxation rules will not be enacted or existing rules will not be applied in a manner which could result in the Company being subject to additional taxation or which could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company's results from operations and financial condition.

Investment risk

There is no assurance that the Company will achieve its investment objectives. An investment may not earn any positive return and may result in the loss of some or all of the capital invested.

There is significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a "going concern".

The Company has experienced operating losses in current and preceding years. As of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has negative operating cash flows. These factors among others, raise significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company expects to have ongoing requirements for capital investment or debt to implement its business plans to achieve revenue, control operating costs, and meet cash flow requirements. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, the ability to raise substantial additional funds in the near term. This going concern risk may materially limit the Company's ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of new debt or equity or may adversely affect the terms upon which such capital may be available and the ability to raise funds on a timely basis. See the risk factor titled "Future capital requirements and uncertainty of additional funding". The Company has also implemented and may be required to further implement mitigation efforts to preserve capital. The inability to obtain sufficient financing on acceptable terms on a timely basis in the near term will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. The Company's ability to raise additional funds may also be adversely impacted by global economic conditions and volatility in the financial markets in Canada, the United States, and worldwide or other factors. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional funding at levels sufficient to fund its operations or on terms favourable or acceptable to it.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

Refer to going concern disclosure and other information under Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Ability to generate profits

There can be no assurance that the Company will generate revenue or net profits in future periods. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be cash flow positive in future periods. In the event that the Company fails to achieve or, if achieved, maintain profitability in future periods, the value of the Company's shares may decline. In addition, if the Company is unable to achieve or maintain positive cash flows, the Company would be required to seek additional funding, which may not be available on favourable terms, if at all. Given the Company's lack of revenue, recurring net losses, and significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a "going concern", the Company needs to raise substantial additional funding, which may not be available on favourable terms. See the risk factor titled "There is significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a "going concern".

Future capital requirements and uncertainty of additional funding

The Company requires funding through debt or equity offering for its ongoing and future activities. There can be no assurance that BTQ will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future on  timely basis or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. Failure to obtain additional financing could cause BTQ to reduce or terminate its operations.

If additional funds are raised through further issuances of equity or securities convertible into equity, existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities issued could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of other BTQ securityholders. Any debt financing secured in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for BTQ to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities.

Management of growth

The Company has recently experienced, and may continue to experience, growth in the scope of its operations. This growth has resulted in increased responsibilities for the Company's existing personnel, the hiring of additional personnel and, in general, higher levels of operating expenses. In order to manage its current operations and any future growth effectively, the Company will need to continue to implement and improve its operational, financial and management information systems, as well as hire, manage and retain its employees and maintain its corporate culture including technical and customer service standards. Additionally, the Company will need to raise additional funds to support higher levels of operating expenses. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage such growth effectively, including through the ability to raise sufficient additional funds, or that its management, personnel or systems will be adequate to support the Company's operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

Reputational risks

The Company may be subject to reputational harm arising from public statements, allegations, or dissemination of information by former directors, officers, or other insiders. A former director and officer of the Company has publicly disseminated, and may continue to disseminate, negative statements, false and defamatory allegations, and other information regarding the Company, its management, and its board of directors. Such public statements, whether or not accurate, could materially harm the Company's reputation with investors, business partners, regulators, and other stakeholders. It could also result in decreased investor confidence, increased stock price volatility, increased regulatory scrutiny or inquiries, damage to existing and prospective business relationships, difficulty attracting and retaining qualified directors, officers, and employees, and increased costs associated with responding to or addressing such statements, including potential litigation expenses.

In response, the Company has pursued legal actions against the former director and officer, and against two third-party providers, in United States Federal District Court. The Courts found that the Company was likely to prevail on the merits, and granted the Company temporary injunctive relief, temporarily enjoining the former director and officer from continuing to publish or otherwise disseminate false and defamatory information, or confidential information.

The prevalence of electronic communications and the viral nature of social media may amplify the reach and impact of such statements and any similar statements beyond their original audience, and the Company may have limited ability to control, counteract, or mitigate the dissemination of information once it has been published.

The ongoing litigation required to secure permanent relief and seek appropriate damages will continue to be costly and time-consuming, and may not result in a favourable outcome. If the Company ultimately does not obtain a preliminary injunction and/or prevail on the merits of this litigation, the Company could face additional reputational risks. Additionally, such efforts may themselves generate further negative publicity. There can be no assurance that the Company's reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition, prospects, and stock price will not be materially adversely affected by these or similar statements and actions in the future.

Operational risks

The Company may be subject to operational harm arising from the unauthorized access to and use of Company domains by former directors, officers, or other insiders. A former director and officer of the Company retained control of the domain register under which certain Company domains were registered. The former director and officer of the Company used this control to unlawfully access and temporarily take control over certain Company domains, causing temporary disruptions to Company operations, including impacts to the Company's public website and emails. The Company has pursued legal action against the former director and officer and against two third-party providers in United States Federal District Court. The Court found that the Company was likely to prevail on the merits, and granted the Company temporary injunctive relief, thereby permitting the Company to regain control over the impacted domains and to restore the Company's public website to its original status. However, this legal action remains ongoing and success on the merits is not guaranteed.

The complexity of corporate systems and Company's reliance on third-party providers and platforms may amplify the operational risk and impact of such insider interference.

The ongoing litigation required to secure permanent relief and seek appropriate damages will continue to be costly and time-consuming, and it may divert Company resources and employee attention away from day-to-day business operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

If the temporary injunction is modified, vacated, or appealed, or if the Company does not ultimately prevail on the final merits of the lawsuit, the Company could face further impacts to its systems and digital assets, face retaliatory counterclaims, or be forced to incur substantial capital expenditures to remediate. There can be no assurance that the Company's systems, operational continuity, business, financial condition, prospects, and stock price will not be materially adversely affected by this or similar insider threats in the future.

Cybersecurity risks

Cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events, and may arise from internal sources (e.g., current and former employees, contractors, service providers, suppliers and operational risks) or external sources (e.g., nation states, terrorists, hacktivists, competitors and acts of nature). Cyber incidents include unauthorized access to information systems and data (e.g., through hacking or malicious software) for purposes of misappropriating or corrupting data or causing operational disruption. Cyber incidents also may be caused in a manner that does not require unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (e.g., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). A cyber incident that affects BTQ might cause disruptions and adversely affect its business operations, and might also result in violations of applicable law (e.g., personal information protection laws), each of which might result in potentially significant financial losses and liabilities, regulatory fines and penalties, reputational harm, and reimbursement and other compensation costs. For example, a former director and officer of the Company retained control over the domain register under which btq.com was registered. The former director and officer of the Company used this control to unlawfully access and temporarily take control over the Company's domain, causing temporary disruptions to Company operations, including impacts to the Company's public website and emails. See the risk factor titled "Operational risks." Any future incidents could have similar or more similar effects on the Company and its operations. In addition, substantial costs might be incurred to investigate, remediate, and prevent cyber incidents.

Business and Industry Risks

Regulatory changes or actions may alter the nature of an investment in the Company or restrict the use of digital assets in a manner that adversely affects the Company's operations

Due to their global nature, blockchain-related technologies and encryption-related technologies are subject to regulatory fragmentation due to different treatment depending on jurisdiction. Certain governments have categorized certain blockchain technologies as illegal, while others have embraced their utility and have approved them for trade. Ongoing and/or future regulatory actions may have a substantial impact on the Company's business operations.

Acquisition integration risk

The Company has completed or announced several strategic acquisition, including the QPerfect Acquisition. The integration of acquired businesses, technologies, and personnel involves significant risks, including the potential for unanticipated liabilities, difficulties in retaining key personnel, challenges in integrating different corporate cultures, and the diversion of management's attention from existing operations. France's approval process for the QPerfect Acquisition remains pending and there is no assurance that such approval will be obtained on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to successfully integrate acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

QCIM chip-related intellectual property risk

Under the ICTK Development Agreement, the parties jointly own any intellectual property developed under the agreement, with each party having the right to use and license such jointly owned intellectual property without consent or a duty of accounting to the other party. This means ICTK can license this jointly owned intellectual property to a third party, including Company competitors, or otherwise use such intellectual property for the benefit of Company competitors, which could limit the Company's competitive advantage despite its investment in the form of time, resources and payments under the ICTK Development Agreement. In addition, ICTK has right of first negotiation in the event the Company would like to sell or transfer the deliverables, the chip, the certification or the verification results of the Company's own background technology in relation to the QCIM chip to any third party, which could delay or otherwise limit the Company's ability to sell these assets or its related business.

Pre-revenue product commercialization risk

All of the Company's principal products, including QCIM, Bitcoin Quantum, and QSSN, are in pre-revenue stages of development. The Company has not generated material revenue from any of its core products and there is no assurance that any of the Company's products will achieve commercial viability, generate revenue, or achieve market acceptance. ICTK is the Company's sole partner for QCIM chip development and certification. If ICTK were to experience financial difficulties, fail to perform its obligations under the ICTK Development Agreement or if the relationship were to terminate for any reason, the Company's ability to commercialize QCIM could be materially delayed or prevented. The transition from research and development to commercial revenue involves significant technical, market, and operational risks. Under the ICTK Development Agreement, the Company has committed US$10,000,000 to the development and validation of a QCIM chip but does not have rights to commercialize the chip. The Company will need to procure additional rights to ICTK technology for commercialization of the chip and will need to pay royalties or other fees for such rights, all on terms to be agreed. ICTK could choose not to provide such rights or provide them for royalty rates or other fees that could materially limit the Company's generation of profits.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This MD&A includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements" concerning the future performance of the Company's business, its operations, its financial performance and condition, including its ability to continue as a going concern and its ability to raise sufficient timely funding to meet obligations as they are due and advance the Company's business, as well as management's objectives, strategies, product strategies, research and development plans, acquisition and joint venture strategy, market expectations, beliefs and intentions. Forward-looking statements are frequently identified by such words as "may", "will", "plan", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "intend" and similar words referring to future events and results. Forward-looking statements are based on the current opinions and expectations of management. All statements in this report that do not directly and exclusively relate to historical facts, constitute forward-looking statements. These statements represent the Company's intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs, and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors of which many are beyond the control of the Company. These factors could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise such forward-looking statements, as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Factors that may cause actual results to vary from forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, the Company's ability to access capital, competitive risks and reliance on key personnel, as described in more detail in this document under "Risk Factors". Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

FAQ

How did BTQ Technologies (BTQ) perform financially in Q1 2026?

BTQ reported a net loss of $19.9 million for Q1 2026, compared with $1.8 million in Q1 2025. The loss reflects higher R&D, marketing, professional fees, and $11.6 million of share-based compensation, with no revenue recognized in the quarter.

What was BTQ Technologies’ revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2026?

BTQ generated no revenue in Q1 2026, versus $250,000 a year earlier. Prior-period revenue came from a one-year software license agreement that ended in May 2025, so the company currently relies entirely on financing rather than operating income to fund its activities.

What is BTQ Technologies’ cash position and cash burn as of March 31, 2026?

BTQ held $12.1 million of cash at March 31, 2026, down from $20.9 million at December 31, 2025. Operating activities used $8.0 million of cash during the quarter, while investing and financing activities had smaller net outflows, highlighting a high quarterly cash burn rate.

Does BTQ Technologies face going concern risks?

Yes. Management discloses that ongoing losses, negative operating cash flow, and an accumulated deficit of $85.2 million create a material uncertainty about BTQ’s ability to continue as a going concern. The company states it must obtain substantial additional financing in the near term to fund operations and commitments.

How much did BTQ Technologies spend on share-based compensation in Q1 2026?

Share-based compensation totaled $11.6 million in Q1 2026, up from $0.6 million in Q1 2025. This includes costs related to stock options, restricted share units, and performance share units granted to employees and key management as part of the company’s equity incentive programs.

What are BTQ Technologies’ key contractual obligations as of March 31, 2026?

Total contractual obligations were $14.5 million, including $1.2 million of lease obligations and $13.3 million of research and development commitments. The largest R&D payments fall within the next three years, adding pressure to secure additional funding to meet these obligations.
