BTQ TECHNOLOGIES ADDED TO VANECK QUANTUM COMPUTING UCITS ETF, EXPANDING EUROPEAN ACCESS TO BTQ THROUGH A REGULATED UCITS WRAPPER

BTQ Technologies Corp. has been included in the VanEck Quantum Computing UCITS ETF (ISIN: IE0007Y8Y157), a UCITS listed in Europe that provides diversified exposure to companies driving the research, development and application of quantum computing.

The exchange-traded fund seeks to track the MarketVector Global Quantum Leaders Total Return Net Index (MVQTMLTR) and includes a portfolio of 30 companies selected for quantum computing operating exposure and or verified quantum patent ownership. As of Jan. 8, 2026, the ETF reported total net assets of approximately $524.5-million.

BTQ's inclusion reflects the company's growing footprint across quantum security and enabling infrastructure, spanning postquantum cryptography, quantum secure hardware and advanced software capabilities through its BTQ group operating divisions and partnerships.

"As quantum computing moves from research to real-world deployment, the security layer becomes non-negotiable," said Olivier Roussy Newton, chief executive officer of BTQ Technologies. "Being included in the VanEck Quantum Computing UCITS ETF broadens access to BTQ for investors across Europe and underscores the relevance of our work as we build practical, deployable quantum technologies designed for mission-critical environments."

ETF and index context

VanEck describes the ETF as Europe's first quantum computing UCITS ETF, listed in May, 2025, offering diversified exposure across pure play innovators and established global leaders engaged in quantum research and development.

The underlying MarketVector index methodology includes companies with significant quantum-related operating exposure and/or a minimum threshold of quantum computing patent ownership, and it is rebalanced quarterly.
