Insights
Institutional holders report a 9.9% warrant-based stake, with a 9.99% ownership cap.
CVI Investments, Inc. and its investment manager, Heights Capital Management, Inc., together report beneficial ownership of 19,689,323 SEALSQ ordinary shares, or 9.9% of the class. The position is entirely tied to warrants exercisable into ordinary shares.
The warrants include a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation, which prevents exercises that would push the reporting group above that threshold. The filing also notes that Heights may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with CVI, though both entities disclaim beneficial ownership beyond their pecuniary interest.
The filing is framed as a passive Schedule 13G/A, with a certification that the securities are not held to change or influence control. It primarily updates the market on the size and nature of this institutional, warrant-based position, while the actual impact will depend on any future warrant exercises and subsequent disclosures.

What stake in SEALSQ Corp (LAES) do CVI Investments and Heights Capital report?
CVI Investments, Inc. and Heights Capital Management, Inc. report beneficial ownership of 19,689,323 SEALSQ ordinary shares, representing 9.9% of the outstanding class. This entire position consists of shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, rather than currently issued and outstanding stock.
How is the 9.9% SEALSQ stake held by CVI Investments structured?
The reported 9.9% SEALSQ stake is based on warrants to purchase ordinary shares, not currently outstanding shares. These warrants are exercisable only to the extent exercises would not cause the reporting persons and their affiliates to exceed a 9.99% beneficial ownership limit.
What ownership limitation applies to the SEALSQ warrants held by CVI and Heights?
The SEALSQ warrants held by the reporting persons contain a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation. This cap prevents them from exercising warrants if doing so would cause their aggregated beneficial ownership of SEALSQ ordinary shares to exceed 9.99% at any time.
What role does Heights Capital Management play in the SEALSQ position?
Heights Capital Management, Inc. acts as the investment manager to CVI Investments, Inc. and may exercise shared voting and dispositive power over the 19,689,323 SEALSQ shares underlying the warrants, while both entities disclaim beneficial ownership except for their pecuniary interest.
Does the SEALSQ Schedule 13G/A indicate an attempt to control the company?
No. The reporting persons certify that SEALSQ securities were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of changing or influencing control of the issuer, consistent with a passive Schedule 13G/A filing rather than an activist or control-oriented position.
How many SEALSQ shares were outstanding when the ownership percentage was calculated?
The ownership percentage references that SEALSQ’s prospectus supplement stated there were 177,400,997 ordinary shares outstanding as of October 20, 2025. This figure provides the baseline used to calculate the 9.9% beneficial ownership reported in the filing.
