Reliance Global Group is making a $2.125 million bet on the future of cybersecurity, announcing today, February 9, 2026, a definitive agreement to acquire a controlling interest in post-quantum cryptography firm Enquantum Ltd. This move comes as the threat from quantum computing intensifies scrutiny of current encryption methods, potentially compromising vital digital infrastructure. Reliance will gain 51% ownership of Enquantum through its EZRA International Group subsidiary, payable in tranches over 10 months, with an initial 8% stake expected within 30 days. “The transition to post-quantum security is shifting from theoretical planning to near-term deployment decisions,” highlighting the urgency driving this strategic acquisition as part of Reliance’s Scale51 strategy.
Reliance to Acquire 51% Controlling Interest in Enquantum Ltd.
The acquisition, executed through Reliance’s EZRA International Group, signals a strategic move into a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape increasingly threatened by the advent of quantum computing. Reliance anticipates completing the transaction within 30 days, following a due diligence review that “reinforced our belief in this acquisition.” This isn’t simply an investment; it’s a calculated step within Reliance’s recently launched Scale51 operating and acquisition strategy. The urgency driving this deal stems from the escalating threat quantum computers pose to current encryption standards. Existing methods, foundational to modern digital infrastructure, are vulnerable to attacks from sufficiently powerful quantum machines. This transition from theoretical concern to imminent risk is pushing governments and businesses to prioritize post-quantum security solutions. Reliance identifies key sectors – financial services, cloud infrastructure, communications networks, and public-sector systems like insurtech – as particularly vulnerable and demanding immediate attention. The total purchase price for the 51% fully diluted ownership is $2,125,000, payable over a 10-month period contingent on Enquantum achieving specific operational and commercial milestones, reflecting a pre-money valuation of $2,041,667. An initial 8% ownership will be established immediately through conversion of existing debt and a cash infusion. Enquantum’s technology focuses on hardware-accelerated, NIST-aligned post-quantum cryptographic solutions, designed to overcome the performance limitations often associated with software-only approaches. The company holds a patent, granted in 2025, for FPGA-based encrypted communications utilizing quantum-resistant techniques, bolstering its intellectual property. Ezra Beyman, Chairman and CEO of Reliance Global Group, emphasized the strategic importance of this acquisition, stating, “We believe Enquantum’s technology is designed to address a real and growing requirement for post-quantum security in performance-sensitive environments. With this definitive agreement and our ability to acquire a 51% majority controlling interest, we believe we are positioned to shift our focus from assessment to execution.”
Moshe Fishman, Senior Vice President, Strategic Ventures, further clarified the rationale, noting, “Post-quantum cryptography is no longer a purely academic concern. Enquantum’s hardware-accelerated approach is designed to integrate into existing network architectures while maintaining the performance standards required by enterprise, infrastructure, and public-sector operators. We believe this execution-focused design is well aligned with how adoption is beginning to take shape.” Reliance intends to provide hands-on operational support through EZRA International Group, positioning Enquantum as the first operating platform within its technology portfolio and actively driving market expansion.
$2.125 Million Acquisition Tied to Enquantum Milestones
Reliance Global Group is poised to gain a controlling stake in Enquantum Ltd., a firm specializing in post-quantum cryptography, through a staged acquisition valued at $2,125,000. This structure reflects a calculated approach, allowing Reliance to assess progress and reinforce its investment as Enquantum advances its technology. The initial investment includes the conversion of a $166,000 secured bridge note, granting Reliance an immediate 4% fully diluted ownership, alongside a further 4% through a cash infusion, establishing an 8% foothold. The acquisition’s timing is critical, coinciding with a rapidly escalating need for cybersecurity solutions resilient to the threat of quantum computing.
Enquantum’s focus on hardware-accelerated, NIST-aligned post-quantum cryptography addresses a key limitation of software-only approaches – performance bottlenecks in high-throughput network environments. Reliance will incrementally increase its ownership by approximately 4% each month, culminating in a 51% controlling interest, with a final “control top-up” completed through stock issuance. The company intends to provide hands-on support to Enquantum, focusing on product development, commercialization, and expansion into the U.S. market. Reliance anticipates Enquantum becoming the first operating platform within EZRA International Group’s technology portfolio.
Reliance intends to leverage its Scale51 framework to provide disciplined capital allocation and operational support, positioning Enquantum to capitalize on the growing demand for robust, high-performance post-quantum security solutions across sectors like finance, cloud infrastructure, and government systems. The deal is subject to standard closing conditions, with Reliance promising further updates as the process unfolds.

Enquantum’s FPGA-Based Post-Quantum Cryptography Solutions
Enquantum Ltd. is developing a novel approach to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) centered around Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), offering a potential solution to the looming threat posed by advancements in quantum computing. Unlike software-only PQC implementations, Enquantum’s hardware-accelerated architecture is designed to address critical performance bottlenecks, specifically targeting high-throughput and terabit-scale network environments. This focus is crucial, as transitioning to PQC without sacrificing operational speed is a major challenge for organizations reliant on robust encryption. The core innovation lies in leveraging FPGAs to accelerate cryptographic processes, a strategy that circumvents the limitations of traditional software implementations.
Enquantum’s solutions are aligned with standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), ensuring compatibility and interoperability within the evolving PQC landscape. Reliance Global Group, Inc. The acquisition agreement, valued at $2,125,000 for a 51% controlling interest, will be executed in tranches tied to operational and commercialization milestones over a 10-month period. This phased approach allows Reliance to closely monitor progress and ensure alignment with its Scale51 operating model, which prioritizes majority ownership and hands-on support. Enquantum’s design philosophy centers on integration, aiming to seamlessly incorporate into existing network architectures.
This is a key differentiator, as many organizations are hesitant to overhaul their infrastructure entirely. The company is targeting sectors where data security and performance are paramount, including financial services, cloud infrastructure, global communications, and public-sector systems. Reliance intends to provide both strategic and operational support to accelerate product development, commercialization, and market expansion, positioning Enquantum as a key player in the rapidly evolving PQC market.
We believe Enquantum’s technology is designed to address a real and growing requirement for post-quantum security in performance-sensitive environments.
