BTQ and ICTK Sign USD 15M Quantum-Secure Chip Development and Joint Investment Agreement to Advance Global Quantum-Safe Hardware
Summary
BTQ and ICTK signed a USD 15 million strategic development and investment agreement to co-develop a quantum-secure secure element chip called QCIM. The chip combines BTQ’s post-quantum cryptography with ICTK’s manufacturing capability to target defense, critical infrastructure, IoT, payments, mobile authentication, AI, and digital asset security. The companies plan to move into certification, mass production, and global commercialization, with early customer evaluations already underway. ICTK’s commitment gives the project validation and supply-side capacity, which should help accelerate deployment in regulated markets.
