SEALSQ Eyes $200M Quobly Acquisition to Bolster Secure Quantum Computing
SEALSQ Corp has entered exclusive negotiations under a non-binding MOU with Quobly SAS to invest approximately $200M for an initial minority stake and potential majority acquisition. The transaction aims to integrate Quobly’s silicon-based quantum processor technology with SEALSQ’s post-quantum cryptography to develop secure quantum computing solutions.
1. SEALSQ Champions Year of Quantum Security 2026 with Active U.S. Deployments
On January 12, 2026, SEALSQ Corp officially marked the launch of the “Year of Quantum Security 2026” in Washington, D.C., convening over 150 U.S. government officials, legal experts and industry leaders. CEO Carlos Moreira stated that SEALSQ has already deployed its post-quantum semiconductor trust anchors in more than 2.5 million devices across defense and critical infrastructure systems. These secure microcontrollers and quantum-resistant chips, developed in partnership with Trusted Semiconductor Solutions, embed hardware roots of trust that protect against harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks and support multi-factor authentication tokens for government applications with expected lifespans exceeding 15 years. The event underscored the company’s progress in supplying post-quantum PKI modules to three federal agencies and its roadmap to extend security into quantum networks and cloud platforms by 2027.
2. SEALSQ Enters Exclusive Talks for $200M Quantum Computing Acquisition
In a separate development, SEALSQ has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Quobly SAS for exclusive negotiations on a potential strategic investment totaling approximately $200 million. The deal envisions an initial minority stake followed by a majority acquisition of the French quantum-processor developer, integrating Quobly’s silicon-based quantum cores with SEALSQ’s post-quantum cryptography engine. The collaboration, first announced in November 2025, aims to deliver secure-by-design quantum computing solutions for data centers and research institutions. If completed, the transaction would expand SEALSQ’s addressable market into hardware-anchored quantum processors and reinforce its positioning as a full-spectrum quantum security provider.
