SEALSQ News Roundup

Here are the key news stories impacting SEALSQ this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Signed LOI to acquire Miraex SA, a Swiss photonics-based quantum interconnect platform that would fill a critical “quantum interconnect” layer in SEALSQ’s Quantum Vertical Stack and support its QSOC space initiative. The deal is on a 60‑day exclusivity/due‑diligence schedule with a target close by end-June 2026 — strategic fit could accelerate product roadmap and addressable markets in networking, sensing and space. LOI / Miraex Release
• Positive Sentiment: Expanded the SEALSQ Quantum Fund to $200 million and stressed a cash position of over $530M with no debt — this materially improves the company’s ability to complete strategic investments (like Miraex), fund QSOC deployments, and absorb integration costs without immediate dilution. Quantum Fund Expansion
• Positive Sentiment: Reported decline in short interest from ~24.9M shares (Feb) to ~18.2M (Mar 13) — a ~27% drop and ~10.3% of float short sold previously. Reduced short positions can remove downward pressure and lower a potential short‑squeeze risk. (Dataset item)
• Neutral Sentiment: Multiple short‑interest data entries show zeros and inconsistent day-to-cover figures; these appear to be reporting anomalies and should be treated as noisy data rather than new market signals. (Dataset item)
• Negative Sentiment: Insider selling: CFO John Charles O’Hara sold multiple blocks (10,000 shares on Mar 19 at ~$3.02; 10,000 on Mar 23 at ~$2.99; 10,000 on Mar 25 at ~$2.92) and other insider sales reported — total recent insider sales may create near-term selling pressure or be read as executives taking liquidity.
