IBM, IonQ, D-Wave, Microsoft, and Amazon urged Congress to pass the National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act by 2026, seeking more federal funding for quantum research. IBM launched Quantum Safe software to protect against future quantum cyber threats, testing 47M lines of code. BTQ Technologies expanded its quantum emulator to 35,000 developers. Equal1 hired a semiconductor veteran to scale quantum computer production.

BTQ Technologies Corp. integrated QPerfect's MIMIQ quantum emulator into its qBraid cloud platform, offering 35,000 developers access to high-dimensional quantum circuit emulation. MIMIQ uses tensor-network compression to scale up to thousands of qubits for low-depth circuits, aiding algorithm debugging and pre-hardware validation.

IonQ achieved a quantum networking record, Quantum X Labs filed a patent for cold-atom tech, BTQ partnered with MoonPay Korea for post-quantum security, SandboxAQ got a $500M U.S. govt award, and IBM introduced new quantum error correction tools.

BTQ Technologies Corp. (BTQ) has partnered with MoonPay Korea to provide post-quantum cryptography security for a Korean won-backed stablecoin infrastructure, including a proof of concept with Korean banks. The collaboration covers issuance, distribution, wallets, and settlement.

BTQ Technologies has signed a three-year commercial agreement with Kaia DLT Foundation to deploy its Quantum Secure Stablecoin Network (QSSN) on the Kaia blockchain. BTQ will receive a share of transaction fees, expecting six-figure first-year revenue. The agreement positions LINE NEXT's Unifi Wallet among the first consumer applications to benefit from QSSN's post-quantum security, with potential access to over 250 million users across Asia.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. appointed Kevan P. Krysler to its Board of Directors and Audit Committee. BTQ Technologies Corp. added Dr. Michael Grace to its U.S. technical team. Symmatrics named Jim Garrity and Joe Reddix to executive roles. Rigetti Computing, Inc. restructured operations and appointed David Rivas as COO and Dr. Andrew Bestwick as CTO.

Dr. Michael Grace, former leader of Samsung Knox Security, joins BTQ Technologies to enhance security of its Quantum Compute-in-Memory architecture. BTQ, listed on Nasdaq and CBOE CA, aims to leverage his expertise for commercial evaluation and integration. Recent validation confirmed QCIM core's functionality and cryptographic acceleration.

BTQ Technologies (Nasdaq: BTQ, CBOE CA: BTQ) appointed Dr. Michael Grace to support the development and commercialization of its Quantum Compute-in-Memory (QCIM) architecture. Grace brings experience in product security from Samsung and Mojo Vision. BTQ is advancing QCIM with partners ICTK (KOSDAQ: 456010) and ITRI, having completed a technical milestone validating the QCIM core.

BTQ Technologies Corp. reported Q2 2026 milestones, including its QPerfect acquisition, QSSN supporting Korea’s first stablecoin pilot, and MIMIQ’s commercial rollout in Korea and Europe. The company said it has CAD 9.73 million in cash and expects revenue in the second half as product lines scale and expand globally.

BTQ Technologies said its Q2 2026 update focused on commercialization progress rather than earnings. It reported CAD 9.73M cash at quarter-end and began selectively using a CAD 150M ATM offering. BTQ said QSSN handled 100,000+ mainnet transactions, QSM completed tapeout, and QPerfect was acquired July 8. It expects revenue recognition in 2H 2026; shares rose to $5.68.
