BTQ Technologies, which is developing quantum-secure hardware and secure blockchain and networks, has been added to the Defiance Quantum ETF (NASDAQ: QTUM), a thematic exchange traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the BlueStar Machine Learning and Quantum Computing Index (“BQTUM”).
BTQ is currently listed on CBOE Canada (CA: BTQ), the Nasdaq (Nasdaq: BTQ), and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FRA: NG3) and has a market capitalization of approximately US$890 million [as of 18 December 2025].
The Defiance Quantum ETF has approximately 80 companies in its portfolio, consisting of pure play quantum companies (Rigetti and IonQ), big tech, hardware manufacturers, as well as AI and other emerging technologies.
“Being included in QTUM is a meaningful milestone for BTQ as we continue executing on our strategy to accelerate the transition from classical networks to the quantum internet,” said Olivier Roussy Newton, Chief Executive Officer of BTQ. “We believe this inclusion broadens visibility with investors seeking exposure to companies building full stack quantum computing platforms and practical post quantum security solutions for mission critical industries.”
