Viewbix Inc. (NASDAQ: VBIX) entered into a definitive share‑purchase agreement to acquire Quantum X Labs Ltd., a quantum‑algorithm and navigation‑solutions developer, on December 16, 2025. The deal gives Viewbix the right to purchase between 85 % and 100 % of Quantum’s fully diluted shares, with closing expected within 90 calendar days of the agreement date, placing the anticipated completion in early 2026.
The transaction adds Quantum’s portfolio of four quantum‑technology companies—focused on transportation, drug discovery, security, and GPS‑replacement solutions—to Viewbix’s technology stack. It also transfers Quantum’s proprietary intellectual‑property portfolio, including a patent for AI‑Quantum error correction that could cut computational overhead by up to 50 % in noisy intermediate‑scale quantum devices. Viewbix’s management said the acquisition aligns with its pivot from a struggling digital‑advertising business toward high‑growth, high‑margin technology sectors.
Financing will involve a combination of equity issuance and existing cash reserves. At closing, Viewbix will issue shares and pre‑funded warrants representing roughly 40 % of its outstanding capital stock, including a $3 million PIPE financing. An additional up to 25 % of the company’s capital may be issued if Quantum meets post‑closing milestones. The deal’s monetary value was not disclosed, but the equity‑heavy structure signals a significant dilution risk for current shareholders.
Viewbix has been experiencing declining revenues and net losses in recent years, and it has been divesting non‑core assets such as its Cortex Media Group subsidiary. The acquisition is therefore a strategic attempt to diversify revenue streams and tap into the nascent quantum‑computing market, which is expected to grow substantially over the next decade but remains in early commercial stages. The high equity issuance and the company’s fragile financial position have raised concerns about shareholder dilution and execution risk.
Market reaction to the announcement was negative, with the stock falling 9.42 % on the day of the announcement. Investors cited the large potential dilution from the equity issuance and the uncertainty surrounding Viewbix’s transition from advertising to quantum computing as primary drivers of the sell‑off. The reaction underscores the market’s wariness of the company’s strategic pivot and the financial risks associated with the deal.
The acquisition represents a significant shift in Viewbix’s business model, potentially positioning it as a player in the high‑growth quantum‑technology sector. However, the transaction’s success will depend on Viewbix’s ability to integrate Quantum’s technology, manage dilution, and maintain financial stability while pursuing a new growth trajectory.
