SEALSQ Corp announced that it has begun deploying post‑quantum cryptography (PQC) technologies to protect blockchain and digital transaction infrastructures. The new architecture embeds the NIST‑selected lattice‑based algorithms CRYSTALS‑Kyber for key encapsulation and CRYSTALS‑Dilithium for digital signatures directly into its QS7001 secure element and QVault TPM‑class chips, anchoring private keys in certified secure hardware to mitigate key extraction, side‑channel attacks, and future quantum‑enabled forgery.
The deployment aligns with the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s 2024 standardization of CRYSTALS‑Kyber and CRYSTALS‑Dilithium, positioning SEALSQ to capture the growing demand for quantum‑resistant security solutions in the rapidly expanding blockchain and digital‑transaction markets. By embedding PQC at the hardware level, the company aims to provide long‑term non‑repudiation and quantum‑safe authentication across distributed systems, a capability that is expected to become a differentiator as quantum threats mature.
Financially, SEALSQ’s FY 2024 revenue fell to $11 million from $30 million in FY 2023, while the FY 2025 revenue rose to $18 million—a 66% year‑over‑year increase—though the net loss widened to $30–$40 million from $21 million in FY 2024. The company reported $425 million in cash as of December 31 2025 and reiterated its FY 2026 revenue growth guidance of 50% to 100% year‑over‑year, reflecting confidence that the new PQC products will drive future revenue growth despite the current net loss profile.
SEALSQ is collaborating with several partners to accelerate PQC adoption. The company has teamed with WeCan, a Swiss blockchain financial platform, to apply PQC technologies to financial‑grade blockchain transactions, and with Lattice Semiconductor to integrate PQC into FPGA solutions. A partnership with WISeSat.Space Corp. is also underway to develop a commercial Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud, leveraging a satellite constellation for quantum key distribution and post‑quantum identity services.
Founder and CEO Carlos Creus Moreira said, "By embedding post‑quantum cryptography directly into semiconductors, blockchain protocols, and space‑based infrastructure, we are taking a proactive approach to this shift, ensuring that trust in digital systems is not only preserved, but significantly strengthened." The statement underscores the company’s commitment to integrating security at every layer of the technology stack, from hardware to decentralized networks, to serve governments, enterprises, and critical industries in the quantum era.
The announcement signals a strategic pivot toward quantum‑resistant security, a market projected to reach $1.8 billion by 2025. While the company’s current financials reflect investment‑heavy growth, the strong cash position and forward guidance suggest management believes the PQC roadmap will translate into significant revenue expansion and eventual profitability as the market matures.
