Company Announcements

VANCOUVER, BC , March 2, 2026 /CNW/ - BTQ Technologies Corp. ("BTQ" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: BTQ) (CBOE CA: BTQ) (FSE: NG3), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, is pleased to announce that BTQ has been included in the WisdomTree Quantum Computing Fund(WQTM) (the "ETF"), a U.S.-listed thematic exchange traded fund designed to provide targeted exposure to companies driving innovation across the emerging quantum computing ecosystem.

WQTM seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree Classiq Quantum Computing Index, a proprietary index co-developed with Classiq, a leader in quantum software. The fund is designed to provide investors with exposure to companies spanning quantum hardware, software, infrastructure, and enabling technologies, combining pure-play innovators with diversified global technology leaders.

BTQ's inclusion in WQTM reflects the Company's expanding relevance within the global quantum ecosystem, as a vertically integrated quantum technology company accelerating the transition from classical networks to the quantum internet. Backed by a broad patent portfolio and recognized for pioneering commercially significant quantum advantage, BTQ delivers a full-stack neutral-atom quantum computing platform spanning end-to-end hardware, middleware, and post-quantum security solutions designed to support mission-critical applications across finance, telecommunications, logistics, life sciences, and defense.

"As quantum computing moves closer to commercial inflection, investors are increasingly looking for targeted ways to gain exposure to the companies helping define this next era of computing," said Olivier Roussy Newton, Chief Executive Officer of BTQ Technologies. "Our inclusion in the WisdomTree Quantum Computing Fund further expands BTQ's visibility with U.S. thematic investors and reinforces the importance of security, infrastructure, and cryptographic resilience as foundational layers of the quantum stack."

ETF and index context

WisdomTree describes WQTM as a fund offering targeted exposure to companies at the forefront of quantum innovation across hardware, software, and infrastructure. The fund launched in October 2025 and is built to capture the long-term growth potential of quantum computing as the industry transitions from research toward commercialization.

The underlying WisdomTree Classiq Quantum Computing Index uses a proprietary framework that evaluates both the relevance and purity of each constituent's exposure to quantum computing. The strategy is intended to balance pure-play quantum companies with larger global leaders that are materially contributing to the development and adoption of quantum technologies.
