Rhea-AI Filing Summary

The engagement targets up to about 1,000 Bitcoin mining nodes and is expected to run roughly 32 weeks.

Insights

$10M, milestone-based Bitcoin software contract with owned IP but no volume commitments.

VisionWave has secured a $10.0 million statement of work to build the qSpeed-Mine Bitcoin mining acceleration and orchestration platform across up to 1,000 nodes. The work includes an acceleration layer, orchestration/control plane, observability tooling, security hardening, and deployment engineering over an expected 32-week program.

Economically, the contract is structured around objective technical milestones, with both payments and revenue recognition contingent on successful delivery and customer acceptance. This ties financial outcomes directly to execution quality and introduces risk that some milestones may slip or fail, limiting recognized revenue in 2026.

All deliverables are owned by VisionWave, reinforcing proprietary rights in its QuantumSpeed platform. However, the counterparty is not obligated to continue beyond accepted milestones and has no minimum purchase or volume commitments, so future work or expansion beyond this scope will depend on separate arrangements.

FAQ

What agreement did VisionWave Holdings (VWAV) enter into on February 17, 2026?

VisionWave entered a $10.0 million statement of work with qSpeed Bitcoin LLC to build its qSpeed-Mine Bitcoin mining acceleration and orchestration software platform. The project covers design, validation, deployment, observability, security, and engineering across up to about 1,000 mining nodes over roughly 32 weeks.

How much is the VisionWave (VWAV) qSpeed-Mine contract worth and how is it structured?

The qSpeed-Mine statement of work has a total contract value of $10.0 million. Payments are tied to objective technical milestones, and revenue is recognized based on successful completion and acceptance of each milestone under applicable accounting standards, with no guarantee the full amount will be realized in 2026.

How long is the expected duration of VisionWave’s qSpeed-Mine Bitcoin mining program?

The qSpeed-Mine engagement is expected to run approximately 32 weeks from commencement. During this period, the vendor must design, validate, and deploy production-grade acceleration, orchestration, observability, security, and deployment tooling for up to about 1,000 Bitcoin mining nodes, subject to milestone-based acceptance criteria.

Who owns the intellectual property from VisionWave’s qSpeed-Mine Bitcoin platform project?

All deliverables under the statement of work are owned by VisionWave Holdings, Inc. This structure reinforces VisionWave’s proprietary rights in its QuantumSpeed platform and ensures software, tools, and related outputs from the engagement become company-owned assets rather than belonging to the third-party vendor.

Are there minimum purchase or volume commitments in VisionWave’s qSpeed-Mine contract?

The statement of work does not include minimum purchase or volume commitments beyond the defined milestone structure. The counterparty is not obligated to continue beyond accepted milestones, so any additional work or expansion would require new agreements or extensions beyond the current scope.

When does VisionWave (VWAV) expect to recognize revenue from the qSpeed-Mine contract?

If milestone execution proceeds as planned, the structure supports recognizing up to $10.0 million of revenue during calendar year 2026. However, revenue will only be recognized as milestones are achieved and accepted, and there is no assurance all milestones will be completed or accepted in 2026.
