SEALSQ Corp announced a comprehensive Post‑Quantum Cryptocurrency Protection Roadmap that will embed its QS7001 secure chip and WISeKey’s post‑quantum Root of Trust into blockchain protocols, creating a hardware‑backed solution for protecting digital assets against emerging quantum threats.
The roadmap leverages the QS7001 chip’s support for NIST‑approved post‑quantum algorithms, including CRYSTALS‑Kyber and CRYSTALS‑Dilithium, and couples it with WISeKey’s software‑based Root of Trust. The integration is designed to be plug‑in for existing blockchain infrastructure, allowing exchanges and wallet providers to upgrade their cryptographic primitives without redesigning their entire stack.
This initiative marks a strategic expansion beyond SEALSQ’s traditional secure microcontroller and TPM lines. Management has reaffirmed full‑year 2025 revenue guidance of $17.5 million to $20 million, a 59%‑82% increase over 2024, and projects 2026 revenue growth of 50%‑100%. The company’s cash position exceeds $430 million and a pipeline of $175 million for 2026‑2028 underscores the financial foundation for this expansion.
Financially, Q3 2025 revenue reached $5.1 million, up 41% year‑over‑year to $9.9 million for the first nine months of 2025. Gross margin improved to 34% from 19% in the prior year, driven by higher‑margin post‑quantum chip sales and cost discipline in legacy product lines. Although operating income remains negative, the company attributes the margin lift to a favorable product mix and efficient scaling of its semiconductor operations.
CEO Carlos Moreira emphasized the strategic importance of the roadmap, stating, “Preparing for the post‑quantum era is no longer optional. SEALSQ is committed to providing the hardware and cryptographic frameworks necessary to ensure trust and resilience in a world where quantum computing becomes a practical reality.” He added that the company’s guidance reflects confidence in its technology and market positioning.
The announcement was met with a muted market reaction, with analysts noting that short‑term sentiment was influenced by broader market volatility rather than the roadmap itself. Despite the technical factors dampening immediate enthusiasm, the long‑term outlook remains positive, supported by the company’s strong cash reserves, robust pipeline, and growing demand for quantum‑resilient solutions in the cryptocurrency sector.
