Vancouver Fintech Building Software, Hardware for the Post-Quantum Era

March 31, 2026 by Knowlton Thomas Leave a Comment

Vancouver-based BTQ Technologies has a strategy which it believes is aligned with a major global infrastructure transition: the migration of the world’s financial and digital security systems toward post-quantum resilience.

Pointing to a “global urgency” around cryptographic modernization, digital money infrastructure, and secure hardware for fintech, BTQ says its product portfolio is designed to help institutions upgrade critical systems without sacrificing operational continuity.

During 2025, BTQ executed on a full-stack strategy designed to secure critical infrastructure for the post-quantum era while building enabling software, hardware, and network infrastructure for the next generation of quantum-secure systems, according to chief executive officer Olivier Newton. This included opening of a dedicated quantum hardware commercialization hub in New York City and advancing strategic collaborations with partners.

“2025 was a year of execution across every major area of our business,” says Roussy. “We made meaningful progress in translating core research and architecture into commercial pathways across silicon, digital asset infrastructure, and quantum software.”

Quantum computers will sit alongside traditional high-performance computing on the same internet, suggests Roussy. Thus, as quantum capability rises, the same cryptography that protects tens of trillions of dollars in digital value must be upgraded without breaking the infrastructure that depends on it.

Roussy says BTQ can address this challenge through a full stack platform across key pillars, including Quantum Secure Systems & Networks, its acquisition of QPerfect, and the first quantum-safe Bitcoin fork.

“From advancing QCIM toward productization, to supporting the continued expansion of QPerfect’s emulation and control platform, to moving QSSN into live pilot environments and launching the first quantum-safe Bitcoin testnet, BTQ enters 2026 with stronger technical depth, clearer commercialization milestones, and growing alignment with the regulatory and standards frameworks shaping the global transition to quantum-secure infrastructure,” stated Roussy.

Looking ahead, Roussy says BTQ’s 2026 roadmap includes expanding its proof-of-concept pipeline across banking and fintech institutions.
