WISeKey Targets $2B Quantum Platform Via GigCapital8 SPAC

WISeKey and SEALSQ have jointly established Quantisimo Corp. as a special purpose vehicle and entered a non-binding Letter of Intent with GigCapital8 Corp., aiming to create a publicly listed platform focused on quantum technology. The initial enterprise value of the combined company is set at 575 million before further strategic acquisitions, with a projected expansion to a 2 billion consolidated quantum platform. Quantisimo is designed to offer investors direct exposure to the emerging quantum economy through a combination of proprietary technologies and strategic investments. This move aligns with the recent Executive Order ‘Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation’, and seeks to capitalize on growing demand for quantum-enabled applications and post-quantum security solutions worldwide.

Quantisimo Corp. Established as Special Purpose Vehicle by WISeKey & SEALSQ

The establishment of Quantisimo Corp. signals a strategy to consolidate and publicly list quantum technology assets, with WISeKey and SEALSQ jointly creating the special purpose vehicle to facilitate this process. This initial enterprise value of 575 million, before additional deals, establishes a base for future expansion within the rapidly evolving quantum landscape. Quantisimo’s formation responds to a shifting political and economic climate. President Trump’s actions are expected to expand market opportunities and accelerate the adoption of quantum technologies. The company intends to build a “Trusted Quantum Pure-Play platform” designed to provide investors with focused exposure to the emerging quantum economy, differentiating itself from competitors concentrating on single aspects of the technology.

According to WISeKey Founder and CEO Carlos Creus Moreira, this approach is crucial for navigating the coming technological shift. “We believe the world is entering the Quantum Age,” said Moreira. “Just as the Internet transformed the global economy over the past three decades, quantum technologies are expected to redefine computing, communications, security, and artificial intelligence over the coming decades.” Through Quantisimo, the intention is to offer investment opportunities and construct the trusted infrastructure necessary for widespread quantum adoption. The company plans to leverage WISeKey’s established expertise in cybersecurity and trusted digital ecosystems, alongside SEALSQ’s advancements in semiconductor technologies and quantum-resilient security. GigCapital8 Corp. is playing a key role in this venture, entering into a non-binding Letter of Intent to explore a Nasdaq listing for the combined entity.

Avi Katz, Founder, Executive Chairman and CEO of GigCapital Global and GigCapital8, emphasized the strategic rationale behind the partnership. “Quantisimo represents a unique opportunity to create a public company focused on the emerging quantum economy for the most advanced applications in both the military and commercial markets,” Katz stated. SEALSQ is expected to contribute selected assets and strategic interests from its SealQuantum.com portfolio, further solidifying Quantisimo’s position as a comprehensive platform capable of capturing opportunities within the global quantum technology market.

For the 8 th issued Private-to-Public Equity (PPE) by the GigCapital Global franchise we were focusing on exploring the advanced aerospace and defense vertical, and in particular leading-edge quantum platform for consolidation and taking public through our GigCapital8 platform.

575 Million Valuation & 2 Billion Growth Plan for Quantisimo

Quantisimo Corp. emerges as a new player structured to capitalize on the escalating investment in quantum technologies, a field currently characterized by fragmented research and development alongside growing commercial interest. While numerous companies explore individual facets of quantum computing, sensing, and cryptography, a consolidated platform offering broad exposure remains largely absent from public markets; Quantisimo aims to fill this gap. This valuation underscores the growing financial appetite for quantum-focused ventures, even at this early stage of technological maturity. The ambition extends far beyond this initial figure, with plans to aggressively expand the consolidated platform to a projected value of 2 billion through the acquisition of up to five additional quantum companies. This strategy is about building a comprehensive “Trusted Quantum Pure-Play platform” capable of addressing multiple segments of the emerging quantum economy. The company will integrate technologies, intellectual property, and assets sourced from SEALSQ’s SealQuantum.com portfolio, bolstering Quantisimo’s position with existing resources. This approach differentiates Quantisimo from competitors focused on singular aspects of quantum technology, positioning it as a diversified entity capable of capturing value across the entire ecosystem.

Through Quantisimo, we are creating a Trusted Quantum Pure-Play platform designed to provide investors with direct exposure to this transformational opportunity while building the trusted infrastructure required for the quantum era.

Letter of Intent with GigCapital8 for Nasdaq Listing

WISeKey, a cybersecurity firm specializing in trusted digital ecosystems, is structuring a public listing for its quantum technology initiatives through a newly formed entity, Quantisimo Corp. This move is about creating a consolidated platform with an ambitious target valuation of 2 billion following further strategic acquisitions. Quantisimo intends to build this value by integrating proprietary technologies, intellectual property, and assets sourced from SEALSQ’s SealQuantum.com portfolio. The company aims to become a publicly traded entity focused on trusted quantum infrastructure, offering investors a focused pathway into the emerging quantum economy. The transaction, currently anticipated to close in the first quarter, is subject to standard regulatory and shareholder approvals, but represents a significant step towards establishing a publicly traded, pure-play quantum technology company.

Quantisimo represents a unique opportunity to create a public company focused on the emerging quantum economy for the most advanced applications in both the military and commercial markets.

Trump Executive Order Validates Quantisimo’s Quantum Vision

The establishment of Quantisimo Corp. coincides with a bolstering of national quantum initiatives, most notably a recent executive order signed on Monday, June 22, by President Donald J. Trump. Quantisimo was deliberately structured as a special purpose vehicle to facilitate this public listing, reflecting a proactive approach to consolidating and accelerating development within the quantum sector. The company intends to leverage both internally developed technologies and investments sourced from the SealQuantum.com portfolio, aiming to establish a comprehensive platform for trusted quantum infrastructure. This is about creating an ecosystem capable of capturing opportunities arising from the increasing global adoption of quantum technologies, particularly in areas demanding heightened security.

We believe the world is entering the Quantum Age.
