BTQ Technologies invests in Keypair to co-own quantum cryptography IP

BTQ Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: BTQ) announced a strategic investment in Keypair, a Korean security company with deployments across defense, energy, and financial services sectors.

Under the investment terms, BTQ will co-own Keypair's existing and future post-quantum cryptography intellectual property. The companies will jointly develop hardware-based security technologies designed for infrastructure-grade systems.

Keypair's security technologies operate across Korea's critical national infrastructure, including systems supporting LIG Nex1, Hanwha Systems, and Korea Electric Power Corporation. The company has supplied millions of security chips for KEPCO's nationwide Advanced Metering Infrastructure program.

"Post-quantum security is moving from theory to deployment, and the winners will be the companies that can deliver certified, hardware-rooted security at national scale," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of BTQ Technologies.

Dr. Jung-Youp Lee, Co-Founder, Co-CEO and CTO of Keypair, stated that the partnership "advances our post-quantum roadmap and expands the scope of what we can deliver in next-generation hardware security for critical infrastructure and institutional platforms."

The investment expands BTQ's presence in Korea through a partner with deployments across national infrastructure and defense supply chains. The collaboration integrates with BTQ's existing Korean partnerships through companies including Finger, Danal, and QUINSA.

Keypair operates as a full-stack security company delivering system-level security architectures that integrate hardware, firmware, cryptographic chips, servers, and issuance platforms across finance, national energy systems, defense, aerospace, and blockchain infrastructure.

BTQ Technologies trades on NASDAQ under ticker BTQ and operates as a quantum technology company focused on securing networks through quantum computing platforms and post-quantum security solutions.
