BTQ News Today
The publishing of the full-year 2025 business report by BTQ Technologies Corp. a world leader in quantum-secure infrastructure, signifies a significant shift from fundamental research to commercial implementation. The company has reported major breakthroughs across its hardware, software, and financial infrastructure business lines over the last 12 months, furthering its quest to protect the world’s most vital networks against the impending threat of quantum computing.
The Mandate: Securing the “Internet of Money”
The underlying cryptography safeguarding tens of trillions of dollars in digital wealth is at unprecedented risk as quantum computing capabilities grow. The main goal of BTQ is to implement quantum security now, making sure that the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) doesn’t interfere with the current architecture of 5G networks, mobile devices, and IoT endpoints. The urgency of this movement increased globally throughout 2025, as governments and regulated businesses transitioned from awareness to active implementation preparation. BTQ has taken the lead in this shift by developing a full-stack platform for telecommunications, defense, and finance.

QCIM: Breakthroughs in Secure Silicon
The development of BTQ’s QCIM (Quantum Compute in Memory) division was a key factor in its success in 2025. After acquiring Radical Semiconductor, the business successfully incorporated the CASH architecture, a PQC-specific memory-centric acceleration solution. To accelerate commercialization, BTQ and South Korea’s ICTK signed a USD $15 million development deal to jointly create a post-quantum hardware platform suitable for production.
The company launched a strategic relationship with ITRI to validate QCIM in silicon, with first performance estimates due in April 2026. To achieve these technical objectives, BTQ established a commercialization center in New York City and hired top personnel from major players in the market, such as Apple, Samsung, Meta, and SandboxAQ. Early partners will receive validated FPGA IP in Q2 2026, and by the first half of 2027, silicon-proven ASIC IP should be available.
Creating Post-Quantum Financial Standards with QSSN
In 2025, BTQ’s Quantum Secure Systems & Networks (QSSN) division achieved significant commercial and regulatory success. When it was mentioned in the Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF) that was filed to the SEC, the platform which was created to ensure the digitization of the global fiat money supply received external certification.
Live pilots in South Korea with partners Danal and Finger Inc. Group, which tested quantum-secure settlement and banking network controls, provided commercial validation. Additionally, BTQ expanded its presence in national-scale infrastructure by strategically investing in Keypair, a Korean security company, to get co-ownership of PQC-related intellectual property. Converting these pilots into institutional installations and pursuing revenue through validator node licensing and transaction fees are the main goals of the QSSN strategy for 2026.
Bitcoin Quantum: The First Quantum-Safe Fork
In just five months, BTQ transformed Bitcoin Quantum from an idea to a live testnet, a move that attracted a lot of industry interest. By substituting NIST-standardized ML-DSA signatures for conventional ECDSA, BTQ demonstrated that the largest cryptocurrency network in the world could be converted to quantum-safe standards.
A significant technological advancement for Bitcoin-like architectures, BIP 360 (Pay-to-Merkle-Root) was implemented with the introduction of testnet V3 in early 2026. With a mainnet launch and exchange integrations scheduled for Q2 2026, the network has more than 200,000 blocks and 50 miners as of March 2026.

Enhancing Quantum Software with QPerfect
The impending acquisition of QPerfect by BTQ has already produced notable technological benefits. QPerfect completed a €2 million funding round in 2025 and added eight new PhD-level employees to its research team. Simulation rates for hybrid quantum-classical processes were greatly increased with the addition of GPU acceleration and NVIDIA CUDA-Q support to their flagship MIMIQ platform. Advanced noise modeling and enhanced interoperability with the larger quantum ecosystem were included to a significant new version of MIMIQ that was published in February 2026.
Market Momentum and Financial Health
Execution has increased the company’s capital markets visibility. The SamsungActive KoAct Global Quantum Computing Active ETF, the MSCI Canada Small Cap Index, and the Defiance Quantum ETF are just a few of the esteemed indices and ETFs that included BTQ in 2025.
BTQ ended the year with a cash balance of C$20,939,224, demonstrating its continued financial strength. This capital allows for ongoing operations and strategic M&A or investments.
Looking ahead to 2026
Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of BTQ Technologies, commented that 2025 was a year of execution in all areas of the firm. He stressed “stronger technical depth” and “clearer commercialization milestones” for 2026. Moving Bitcoin Quantum to the mainnet, advancing QCIM toward silicon certification, and moving finance pilots into widespread institutional deployments are the obvious goals for the upcoming year. BTQ is in a unique position to spearhead the worldwide transition to post-quantum resilience since it operates across hardware, software, and network architecture.
