SEALSQ Increased Its Quantum Investment Fund to Over $35 Million and Provides Update on Strategic Quantum Technology Convergence

Geneva, Switzerland, July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

 SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES), a global leader in Post-Quantum and Quantum-resilient cybersecurity solutions, today announced its Quantum Investment Fund has been increased from $20 million to over $35 million. The increase is aimed at accelerating the convergence of Quantum, Post-Quantum cryptography, edge security, satellite communications, and secure identity infrastructure into a seamless and secure ecosystem for the next digital era.

Building a Quantum-Safe Technology Stack

SEALSQ’s Quantum fund is strategically deployed to ensure that its cybersecurity technology stack, from the edge to the cloud, and even into space, is fully Quantum-Resilient. The investments are carefully aligned to create a cohesive platform integrating:

  • Quantum-Resistant Cryptography
  • Custom-designed Quantum-Ready Semiconductors and TPM
  • Secure Satellite Communication Infrastructure
  • Blockchain-enabled Digital Identity Solutions
  • AI-enhanced Hardware Security Modules (HSMs)

Strategic Investments executed so far and How They Interconnect

  • Quantix Edge (Spain): SEALSQ, in conjunction with its parent company, WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity, blockchain, and IoT company, has committed to invest approximately $12.0 million (€10.2M) to co-develop a Post-Quantum Semiconductor Center in Murcia, in collaboration with the Spanish government’s SETT.ES program (€20M support). This facility will design and manufacture Post-Quantum and Quantum-enhanced chips, forming the hardware foundation of SEALSQ’s secure ecosystem.
  • WeCan Group (Switzerland): Through an approximately $3.5 million investment for a 28% stake, SEALSQ is integrating Post-Quantum digital identity and KYC capabilities into financial services. WeCan’s blockchain-based solutions will interface securely with SEALSQ hardware using Quantum-resistant cryptographic keys.
  • IC’Alps (France): The approximately $14.7 million (€10 million cash and €2.5 million stock, not including any potential earn-out consideration) acquisition of this ASIC design firm gives SEALSQ full control over custom silicon development, enabling Quantum-ready secure elements and chips that power everything from IoT devices to space-grade hardware. These ASICs are being optimized to run Post-Quantum algorithms such as CRYSTALS-Kyber.
  • WISeSat.Space (Global): A $10 million investment is being used to deploy Post-Quantum-secured communication satellites. These satellites form part of the WISeSat.Space constellation, enabling encrypted communication between remote IoT nodes, financial networks, and critical infrastructure, even in areas without terrestrial connectivity.
  • ColibriTD (France): A strategic initial investment of $100,000 stake in this Quantum cryptography startup ensures access to next-gen algorithms and protocols. ColibriTD is working on integrating Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and hybrid PQC models into SEALSQ’s infrastructure, closing the loop from hardware to satellite to software.

Why Convergence Matters

The convergence of these technologies is not just an innovation strategy, it’s a cybersecurity imperative. With the looming threat of Quantum computers breaking traditional encryption, SEALSQ is building a vertically integrated platform that ensures:

  • Hardware and software are aligned to resist quantum attacks.
  • Satellites and terrestrial systems communicate with Post-Quantum encryption.
  • Identities and credentials are authenticated using PQC-enabled digital certificates.
  • Data in motion, at rest, and in use is secured across borders and infrastructures.

“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 SEALSQ. “We are preparing the critical infrastructure of tomorrow, today.”

Backed by a strong cash balance of more than $120 million at June 30, 2025, SEALSQ is well-positioned to scale these investments and take a leadership role in helping governments, enterprises, and citizens transition to the Quantum era. As outlined in its recently announced growth strategy, SEALSQ expects this convergence to drive diversified revenues, strategic partnerships, and long-term shareholder value.

SEALSQ’s growth strategy for 2025 and beyond was announced in conjunction with the release of its H1 2025 preliminary unaudited revenue – https://www.sealsq.com/investors/news-releases/sealsq-corp-announces-h1-2025-preliminary-revenue-and-other-key-financial-metrics-updates-on-planned-deployment-of-post-quantum-security-1751546436936.

About SEALSQ:

SEALSQ is a leading innovator in Post-Quantum Technology hardware and software solutions. Our technology seamlessly integrates Semiconductors, PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), and Provisioning Services, with a strategic emphasis on developing state-of-the-art Quantum Resistant Cryptography and Semiconductors designed to address the urgent security challenges posed by quantum computing. As quantum computers advance, traditional cryptographic methods like RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) are increasingly vulnerable.

SEALSQ is pioneering the development of Post-Quantum Semiconductors that provide robust, future-proof protection for sensitive data across a wide range of applications, including Multi-Factor Authentication tokens, Smart Energy, Medical and Healthcare Systems, Defense, IT Network Infrastructure, Automotive, and Industrial Automation and Control Systems.

Sweetgreen’s Limited-Time Menu Celebrates Summer’s Peak Ingredients and Timeless Flavors

Fan-favorites like the Peach + Goat Cheese and Elote Bowl return alongside a new Chicken Caprese, launching nationwide July 8 (with early access for Sweetgreen Rewards Members on July 7).

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
This July, Sweetgreen (NYSE: SG) invites guests to savor the season with the return of its Summer Seasonal Menu—a limited-time lineup that celebrates peak summer flavor and the farm partners who bring these ingredients to life. The Peach + Goat Cheese, Elote Bowl, and new Chicken Caprese launch nationwide on July 8, with early digital access available exclusively to SG Rewards members on July 7.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250707625977/en/

Sweetgreen’s Summer Seasonal Menu is a celebration of simplicity, seasonality, and peak flavor.

Sweetgreen’s Summer Seasonal Menu is a celebration of simplicity, seasonality, and peak flavor.

Rooted in close relationships with regional growers and guided by a chef’s touch, Sweetgreen’s Summer Seasonal Menu is a celebration of simplicity, seasonality, and peak flavor. Designed to showcase the best of what summer has to offer, the menu features juicy peaches, fresh tomatoes, smoky roasted vegetables, crisp greens, and creamy cheeses, sourced from trusted farms across the country.

Bringing Back the Best of Summer

This year’s lineup features the return of two of Sweetgreen’s most requested summer menu items, along with a new seasonal build. Each is inspired by the ingredients and flavors that define the season, offering a taste of summer in every bite.

  • Peach + Goat Cheese: Juicy summer peaches are lightly tossed with olive oil and fresh basil, then paired with creamy goat cheese, toasted almonds, and Sweetgreen’s signature balsamic vinaigrette. This light and vibrant combination brings together sweet, savory, and herby notes in a nostalgic favorite.
  • Elote Bowl: A bold mix of smoky roasted corn and peppers, juicy summer tomatoes drizzled with olive oil, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy tortilla chips—brought together with a zesty lime cilantro jalapeño vinaigrette. A vibrant celebration of peak summer flavor.
  • New! Chicken Caprese: Sweetgreen’s take on the timeless Italian favorite. Juicy roasted chicken, fresh pesto pearl mozzarella, and vine-ripened summer tomatoes come together with crisp greens and a tangy balsamic vinaigrette. It’s rich, refreshing, and made for sunny days.

“At Sweetgreen, we believe the best food starts with the best ingredients, and summer is a perfect time to celebrate that,” said Nicolas Jammet, co-founder and Chief Concept Officer of Sweetgreen. “This seasonal menu is the result of our deep-rooted partnerships with trusted farmers, and we’re thrilled to bring our guests food that not only tastes delicious, but also honors the people who grow it.”

Farm-Forward Flavor, Sourced With Intention

Staying true to its commitment to intentional sourcing, Sweetgreen continues to partner with growers who share its passion for quality, sustainability, and seasonality. This summer, fresh peaches are featured on menus nationwide, with Sweetgreen’s California restaurants proudly sourcing theirs from Frog Hollow Farm in Brentwood, CA—a longtime partner known for growing some of the country’s most flavorful stone fruit. Since 2021, Sweetgreen has sourced over 33,000 lbs of Frog Hollow peaches to bring their unmatched flavor to guests across the state.

“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Sweetgreen for the Peach + Goat Cheese on the summer menu. Their commitment to sourcing directly from farms like ours, where soil health, flavor, and sustainability are foundational, helps tell a deeper story about what good food really means,” said Lael Gerhart, Director of Engagement at Frog Hollow Farm. “When guests enjoy our organic peaches, they’re also supporting our regenerative farming practices that prioritize human and planetary health. Sweetgreen is helping demonstrate what truly responsible, nourishing food at scale can look like—and we’re proud to be part of that vision.”

Each item on the menu reflects Sweetgreen’s long-standing dedication to working with farms that prioritize thoughtful growing practices and deep care for the food they cultivate. The Summer Seasonal Menu pairs culinary creativity with meaningful sourcing, with many locations featuring summer tomatoes from Lady Moon Farms, corn from Ray’s Heritage Farm, bell peppers from Lipman Family Farms, and/or pearl mozzarella from BelGioioso.
