SEALSQ Reports Accelerating Market Adoption of Its Post-Quantum Secure Chip QS7001

Geneva, Switzerland, Dec. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Total QS7001 & Qvault TPM Pipeline of $49.8 Million out of a Total Pipeline of Approximately $200 Million, as of December 15, 2025

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ:LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today provided an update on the accelerated market adoption of its cutting-edge post-quantum secure chip, the "Quantum shield - QS7001." The Company is witnessing significant global traction from industry partners, system integrators, and technology OEMs seeking robust security solutions to face upcoming quantum computers capability to break current encryption technology.

SEALSQ has strengthened its collaboration network with industry consortia, integrators, and standards bodies to accelerate scalable deployment of its quantum-resistant products worldwide and has entered into commercial discussions with up to 115 potential customers who have expressed strong interest. Adoption spans multiple continents, with deployments and pilot programs underway in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Initially unveiled at the IQT Quantum + AI Conference in New York on October 20, 2025, the QS7001's commercial launch was announced during a dedicated event at the Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 21, 2025, where the first development kits were made available to customers for integration and application development. Since the commercial launch, has seen a surge in the number of qualified leads and design-ins and, leading to the growth of pipeline of opportunities for QS7001 and Qvault TPM to $49.8 million as of December 15, 2025, for the period covering 2026 to 2028, up from approximately $11.4 million at the same time in the previous year, a strong indicator of accelerating demand for quantum‑resistant security solutions among global OEMs and enterprise customers. The QS7001 and Qvault TPM forms part of SEALSQ's total pipeline that, today, sits at an estimated $200 million for the period covering 2026 to 2028.

The product has been well received by global partners and OEMs through the testing period, including Eviden (Atos Group), Authentrend, Capgemini Engineering, ColibriTD, FortifyIQ Inc., Granite River Labs, Kaynes Semiconductor, Landis+Gyr, Metavisio (Thomson Computing), PORTYQ, Quantix Edge Security, Serma Security, Trusted Semiconductor Solutions, and manufacturing partner UMC.

Leveraging a secure 32-bit RISC-V core, the QS7001 delivers up to 10× higher performance than software-based post-quantum implementations, while offering enhanced resistance to side-channel attacks and physical tampering. It aims at enabling compliance for device makers with emerging post quantum mandates like CNSA 2.0 and is adapted to resource-constrained environments such as IoT, cryptocurrencies, defense, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.

SEALSQ is taking the lead in the industry with the QS7001 to become a key player of any quantum-resistant security strategy, targeting a potential market of over 21 billion of devices currently connected worldwide that could require immediate protection against "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" threats. As per IOT Analytics, the installed base of connected IoT devices could reach about 32 billion – 40 billion by 2030, implying roughly a doubling from current levels. Growth is driven by expanding 5G coverage, cheaper sensors, and adoption in areas like manufacturing, logistics, energy, smart homes, and cities.

"Organizations recognize that the quantum computing era is approaching faster than expected," said Carlos Moreira CEO and founder of SEALSQ. "OurQS7001 secure chip is uniquely positioned to deliver practical, standards-aligned post-quantum security today, and we're seeing real momentum as enterprises move from planning to implementation and begin deploying quantum-safe protections across their most critical workloads."

With strong design-win momentum, a deepening partner ecosystem, and international deployments, SEALSQ reaffirms its commitment to enabling quantum-resilient security solutions that protect data, devices, and services across digital environments.
