SEALSQ Invests $10 Million in WISeSat.Space, at $115 Million Pre-Money Valuation, to Accelerate Planned Satellite Constellation Deployment, Space-Based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Communications, and Decentralized IoT Transactions

Geneva, Switzerland, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 announced that its Board of Directors has formally approved a $10 million strategic investment in AG ('WISeSat'), joining its parent company WISeKey International Holding Ltd ('WISeKey', SIX: WIHN; Nasdaq: WKEY), to accelerate the planned deployment of a secure, quantum-ready satellite constellation. The $10 million investment secures SEALSQ a 9% equity stake in WISeSat, based on a pre-money valuation of $115 million established through a valuation conducted by an independent expert. This milestone financing will enable WISeSat to scale up its operations and accelerate the deployment of its planned satellite constellation, as well as provide the flexibility to evaluate opportunities for expanding its access to pre-existing satellite infrastructure through strategic partnerships and investments. Additionally, WISeSat is finalizing preparations for the launch of WISeSat 3.0 during the last week of June 2025 from California. This post-quantum-ready next-generation satellite, enables quantum-secure communications from space, and has machine-to-machine transactions capabilities powered by SEALCOIN, a collaboration between WISeKey and The Hashgraph Association, using Hedera's decentralized ledger technology (DLT). WISeSat is also planning to expand its satellite launch operations by partnering with companies such as PLD Space in Spain and SkyRoot Aerospace in India, broadening its global launch footprint and increasing flexibility and resilience for future missions. This investment underscores SEALSQ's goal to building the world's first quantum-resilient satellite network, designed to deliver ultra-secure communications and transactional IoT (t-IoT) services globally. WISeSat's infrastructure enables SEALSQ to bring post-quantum Root of Trust and secure chips directly to IoT devices, even in the most remote locations. SEALSQ's investment not only accelerates technological advancement but also unlocks a transformational opportunity to secure trillions of IoT devices worldwide. The global quantum communication market, valued at over $1 billion in 2024, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 31.8% from 2025 to 2030. 1 The increased demand for unbreakable security in finance, healthcare, and defense sectors fuels this momentum. The June 2025 WISeSat 3.0 launch will also feature a Proof of Concept demonstrating SEALCOIN's capacity for autonomous, decentralized satellite-to-IoT device transactions, laying the foundation for a new Satellite-as-a-Service (SataaS) model. This model should generate recurring revenue via connectivity subscriptions, secure data monetization, and blockchain-based machine-to-machine (M2M) payments. This breakthrough lays the foundation for scalable commercial deployments across sectors such as smart cities, logistics, energy, and defense. Quantum communication is the next frontier in cybersecurity, using the principles of quantum physics to secure information in a way that is physically impossible to intercept or decode without detection. With quantum computers expected to break traditional encryption within the next decade, organizations and governments are racing to adopt quantum-resilient infrastructure. Post-quantum security, especially via satellite-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), ensures secure data exchange across global networks. By placing this technology in orbit, WISeSat enables real-time, tamper-proof key distribution and communications to any point on Earth, including remote or disconnected regions. This capability is critical to secure global transactions in finance, protect sensitive healthcare data, defend national infrastructure, and maintain the integrity of mission-critical systems.
