BTQ Technologies completes acquisition of QPerfect to enhance quantum capabilities

BTQ Technologies has closed its acquisition of QPerfect SA, a French quantum computing firm, effective July 8, 2026. The deal, valued at approximately €18.59 million in total consideration, brings BTQ one meaningful step closer to building a full-stack quantum security business. The price breaks down as €2.02 million in cash and shares, plus a potential earnout of up to €5.67 million tied to future performance milestones. BTQ had already signaled its intent with a €2 million initial investment back in November 2025.

The second is QLU, a digital twin modeling and control system. For BTQ, whose existing business centers on post-quantum cryptography and quantum-secure networking, this is the missing hardware and emulation layer. The company is now building what it describes as a vertically integrated stack, ...
