WISeKey International Holding Ltd announced on January 23 that it will unveil a new class of space‑based, quantum‑resistant cryptocurrency transactions during its Davos 2026 event on January 21. The announcement highlights the company’s WISeSat satellite constellation and SEALCOIN platform, which enable satellites to sign transactions with post‑quantum cryptographic signatures embedded in hardware.
The launch marks the first quantum‑resistant signature issued from orbit, positioning WISeKey at the intersection of semiconductor, satellite, and blockchain markets. The SEALCOIN platform is designed to support machine‑to‑machine value exchange for AI agents, IoT devices, and critical infrastructure that rely on resilient connectivity in geopolitically risky or limited terrestrial environments.
WISeKey’s financial performance in the first half of 2025 showed revenue of $5.3 million and a net loss of $22.3 million, largely driven by stock‑compensation charges and increased R&D and administrative expenses. The company reaffirmed its FY 2025 revenue guidance of $18 to $21 million, reflecting confidence in the pipeline of quantum‑resistant solutions and the recent acquisition of IC'ALPS, which contributed $10.6 million in revenue during the first nine months of 2025.
CEO Carlos Moreira emphasized the strategic importance of the new platform, stating, "We are pioneering secure, sovereign, and sustainable space communications, creating a quantum‑resilient future for AI, IoT, and critical infrastructure." The announcement signals a shift toward a new revenue stream that leverages the company’s satellite constellation and post‑quantum chips to deliver secure, globally accessible transactions.
The event underscores WISeKey’s commitment to addressing the looming threat of quantum computers to current encryption standards. By embedding quantum‑resistant signatures in satellite hardware, the company aims to provide a resilient execution layer that can operate independently of terrestrial networks, potentially opening new markets in remote or contested regions.
While the announcement does not immediately alter the company’s financials, it sets the stage for future growth as the SEALCOIN platform scales. Investors will watch how WISeKey translates this technological milestone into commercial adoption and whether the new revenue stream can offset the current loss profile and support the company’s long‑term profitability.
