SEALSQ increases quantum investment fund to $35 million

GENEVA - SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ:LAES), a cybersecurity firm with a market capitalization of $484 million and showing remarkable momentum with a 436% return over the past year, has expanded its Quantum Investment Fund from $20 million to over $35 million, according to a company press release issued Monday.

The cybersecurity firm, which specializes in post-quantum and quantum-resilient solutions, said the increased funding aims to accelerate the integration of quantum technologies, post-quantum cryptography, edge security, satellite communications, and secure identity infrastructure. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company’s stock has demonstrated significant price volatility, presenting both opportunities and risks for investors.

The company has made several strategic investments as part of its quantum security initiative. These include approximately $12 million toward co-developing a Post-Quantum Semiconductor Center in Murcia, Spain, in collaboration with the Spanish government’s SETT.ES program.

Additional investments include approximately $3.5 million for a 28% stake in WeCan Group, $14.7 million for the acquisition of ASIC design firm IC’Alps, $10 million for the deployment of post-quantum-secured communication satellites through WISeSat.Space, and $100,000 in quantum cryptography startup ColibriTD.

"This isn’t a collection of siloed investments, it’s a coordinated strategy to build the world’s first fully Post-Quantum secure digital ecosystem," said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ, in the statement.

The company reported having a cash balance of more than $120 million as of June 30, 2025, positioning it to scale these investments further.
