SEALSQ said it will start the second phase of its $200 million SEALQuantum.com initiative in September, adding $100 million in investment through end-2027 after deploying over $65 million. The company plans to integrate partners Quobly and EeroQ into its SEALQuantum “Sovereign Quantum Vertical Stack,” built on secure semiconductors and PKI developed with GlobalFoundries.

SEALSQ (NASDAQ: LAES) said its SEALQuantum.com “Sovereign Quantum Vertical Stack” is integrating partners across secure semiconductors, post-quantum cryptography, identity, AI and satellite infrastructure. The company plans a second phase of a $200 million internal quantum initiative starting September 2026, after deploying over $65 million so far and earmarking $100 million through end-2027.

SEALSQ Corp. (LAES) said it is collaborating with WISeKey (WKEY) to develop an AI-enabled “Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud” for orbital cybersecurity. The first satellite is expected to launch on a SpaceX mission in Q4, with a multi-year plan to deploy up to 100 satellites by 2033. LAES stock has fallen 18% YTD and 27% over 12 months.

SEALSQ (NASDAQ: LAES) said AI-assisted research on the HAWK post-quantum signature candidate and reduced-round AES-128 does not break NIST-standard algorithms such as ML-KEM or ML-DSA, nor full 10-round AES-128. The company argues AI may speed cryptanalysis and supports crypto-agile, post-quantum secure hardware, citing its QS7001 microcontroller. LAES was up 5.19% to $2.54.

SEALSQ Corp said it completed its June 2, 2026 acquisition of Miraex SA, using capital from a newly formed $200 million Quantum Fund. SEALSQ plans to commercialize Miraex’s thin-film lithium tantalate photonic integrated circuit technology for converting quantum signals between microwave and optical frequencies, targeting quantum computing, networking, sensing, and secure satellite communications.

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) said on July 31, 2026 that its Miraex SA commercial product line is deploying thin-film lithium tantalate photonic integrated circuits for bidirectional microwave-to-optical quantum transduction. The company links the launch to a June 2026 arXiv preprint and cites improved DC bias drift versus lithium niobate (about 2 dB vs 8 dB over 16 minutes).

France’s Court of Auditors said the national quantum strategy has been well managed but warned the roadmap lags faster-moving global competition, citing consolidation and foreign acquisition pressure. President Macron said quantum cooperation with Germany is a priority. In business, Pasqal expanded partnerships and launched a €50m Q-PLANET pilot line. BTQ’s QPerfect joined a public neutral-atom project, and SEALSQ and Quobly signed a $5m deal.

Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE, OTCQB: QSEGF, FSE: VN80) said it signed a memorandum of agreement with a Malaysia-based digital trust and certificate-management provider to develop a Malaysia-specific version of its QPrime post-quantum platform. The tool is intended for Malaysia’s National Critical Information Infrastructure to prepare for Cyber Security Act 2024 (Act 854), with hosting on Malaysian sovereign infrastructure and in-country data residency.

The article says quantum computing raises cybersecurity risks, including “harvest now, decrypt later,” and cites AI Magazine estimates that some problems could be solved up to 100 million times faster. It highlights 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE, OTCQB: OONEF) partnering with Crypto4A to market quantum-safe HSM and secrets vault products, effective July 13, 2026. It also cites a U.S. executive order and Emergen Research PQC market forecasts.

SEALSQ (Nasdaq: LAES) and L5 Cartronics announced a partnership to develop secure multi-package IoT modules by integrating SEALSQ secure element die into LFC’s module architecture. The first module targets smart cameras and smart metering, aiming for OEM adoption, secure provisioning and compliance support. No financial figures were provided.
