SVAQ merger with EigenQ, Inc.
EigenQ, Inc. (United States) — EigenQ is a PRE-REVENUE quantum-security company selling hardware-rooted post-quantum cryptography (PQC+ server bundles, PCIe retrofit boards, M.2 edge modules, quantum entropy/QRNG, qTPM device identity …Pre-revenue: the filings show no meaningful actual revenue for the most recent reported period.
Expected close, as filed: Q4 2026.
Announced 17 June 2026.
The symbol the combined company is expected to trade under.
EigenQ, Inc. is a quantum technology company headquartered in Austin, Texas, focused on developing and commercializing foundational quantum technologies across five core domains: quantum security and cyber resilience, quantum AI, quantum communications and networking, quantum sensing and intelligence, and quantum computing. Its initial commercialization efforts center on quantum-resilient security and trusted infrastructure, specifically post-quantum cryptography, hardware-rooted security, trusted identity, trusted execution environments, and critical infrastructure protection. The company claims to be the first to ship enterprise- and military-grade FIPS 203/204-certified post-quantum security systems, and it has developed NIST-compliant, CNSA 2.0-aligned solutions designed to be retrofitted into existing infrastructure rather than requiring wholesale replacement. Its product portfolio includes quantum random number generators, quantum eSIM secure mobile connectivity, quantum-safe WiFi routers, and hardware platform engines, all built around a hardware-anchored trust architecture spanning quantum entropy, trusted identity, trusted execution, and post-quantum cryptography. EigenQ positions itself at the intersection of hardware, firmware, cryptography, and enterprise infrastructure, arguing that software alone cannot establish infrastructure trust in the post-quantum era.
The company's leadership is chaired by Dr. Jesse Van Griensven Thé, who has guided the team for over a decade. Recent executive appointments include Mark Pecen as Vice Chairman, Alexander Truskovsky as Chief Information Security Officer, and Rika Nakazawa, a former NVIDIA, Sony, and Accenture executive, as Chief Growth Officer to accelerate global expansion. EigenQ has built strategic alliances and channel partnerships with major technology players including HPE, AMD, WNC, and TD SYNNEX, leveraging these relationships for platform integration, manufacturing scale, distribution, and deployment across both public and private sector environments. Its go-to-market strategy relies on OEM integration and channel ecosystems rather than direct infrastructure replacement, enabling scalable adoption through existing procurement channels. Initial target customers are in government, defense, and critical infrastructure markets where regulatory mandates such as CNSA 2.0 and NIST post-quantum standards are creating immediate demand, with subsequent expansion planned into enterprise infrastructure, AI platforms, financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, industrial systems, and international markets. The company cites an addressable market of roughly $500 billion for quantum-proofing critical infrastructure and a broader $80 trillion quantum market opportunity.
On the funding and valuation front, EigenQ previously raised capital on Republic at a $300 million valuation and reports $1.2 billion in intangible assets through an active IP acquisition strategy. Its definitive business combination agreement with Silicon Valley Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: SVAQ) values EigenQ at a pro forma enterprise value of approximately $2.93 billion to $3 billion, with the merger consideration structured through an exchange ratio based on $2.93 billion divided by $10.00 per share and EigenQ's fully diluted share count. The transaction is supported by approximately $215 million held in SVAQ's trust account, subject to shareholder redemptions and transaction expenses, and the sponsor has committed up to 2,165,950 founder shares to support transaction financing. The deal involves SVAQ's domestication from the Cayman Islands to Delaware, with the combined company expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol EIGQ. An equity incentive plan reserving approximately 10% of fully diluted shares with a 1% annual evergreen increase is planned, and the post-closing board will comprise seven directors designated by EigenQ plus one board advisor. The transaction is expected to close in the fo

Three different numbers are all called the deal value
They are not the same fact, and only the last one is what a valuation multiple may be struck on.
What EigenQ, Inc. on its own is valued at, before a dollar of the SPAC's trust or the PIPE reaches it. This is the price agreed for the business itself.
assumes 53% redemptions
Every share of the combined company, marked at the reference price, once the deal closes — the business PLUS the cash that arrives with it. This is the figure press headlines quote, and it is bigger than the business for that reason alone.
assumes 53% redemptions
Money the transaction puts INTO the company. It is counted inside the equity value above, which is why it comes straight back out to reach the figure below — nobody pays a revenue multiple for a bank balance.
The combined company net of that cash — what the buyers are paying for the BUSINESS. Every multiple below is struck on this figure and on nothing else.
What that price is, per dollar of sales
Enterprise value ÷ EBITDA — not shown
No EBITDA figure for EigenQ, Inc. appears in any filing we hold, so no EV/EBITDA multiple is shown. We have not inferred one from a margin assumption — a multiple built on an assumed margin measures the assumption, not the company.
What qualifies these figures
- The equity and cash figures above are already struck AFTER an assumed 53% of the trust is redeemed — so they are not the same kind of figure as a deal whose table assumes none, and comparing them directly compares two different transactions. The enterprise value is the figure the assumption does not move.
- The announced headline of $2,930M and the filed pro-forma equity value of $3,127.1M are not the same number. Both are recorded as stated; we have not reconciled them for you.
All figures above are stated in EX-99.2 investor deck (8-K)0001213900-26-069434
THE REDEMPTION ASSUMPTION HERE IS NOT ZERO, AND IT IS THE ONE IN THIS SET THAT IS NOT. The deck's note 1: "Assumes ~53% redemptions from SVAQ's $215M cash in trust in absence of a PIPE." So the $110.0M of pro-forma cash and the $3,127.1M of pro-forma equity are already struck AFTER half the trust is assumed to walk — they are not the same kind of figure as the 0%-redemption tables filed by IPFX, BLRK, BBCQ and APXT, and comparing them without that label compares two different transactions. The enterprise value is the one figure the rate does not move. Two further caveats the deck states itself: the subtracted line is labelled "PF Net Cash", not cash on the balance sheet, and note 6 says "Assumes cash free debt free on a pre-money basis"; and note 3 says the "Sponsor promote shares [are] subject to negotiation", so the 312.7M share count is not final. Pre-money is taken from the Uses table ("Rollover to EigenQ $2,930"), not from the "~$2.9B" prose.
Why headline and effective values differ is covered in headline vs effective deal value, in plain English.
The target: EigenQ, Inc.
from 425The business actually being bought — described from SEC primary filings, with projections labelled as projections.
EigenQ is a PRE-REVENUE quantum-security company selling hardware-rooted post-quantum cryptography (PQC+ server bundles, PCIe retrofit boards, M.2 edge modules, quantum entropy/QRNG, qTPM device identity, qTEE trusted execution) into US federal, defense and critical-infrastructure buyers via OEM and distribution partners. Its own SEC Form C-AR for FY2025 reports total revenue of $6,194.47 - about six thousand dollars, from a single $4,600 invoice - against a negative gross profit of -$73,786, a net loss of $1,444,376, and TWO employees. The company was incorporated 13 February 2025 and its investor deck states flatly that it 'has not commenced product sales' and 'has not commenced generating revenues or achieved profitability'. Its $1.20 billion of reported total assets is essentially one line item: 'Intangible Assets - IP Licenses' of exactly $1,200,000,000, being four exclusive technology licences bought entirely with non-cash equity warrants that are not exercisable before 2028. The deal values this at a ~$3.0 billion pro forma enterprise value against illustrative management projections of $10M revenue in 2026E rising to $299.5M in 2028E.
Founded 2025.
The filings show no meaningful actual revenue for the most recent reported period.
EigenQ, Inc. — every SPAC that has bid for it, and its listed peers
Expensive or cheap?
vs 4 listed peersA price only means something next to what the same kind of business costs on the stock market. This divides what the buyers are paying by what EigenQ, Inc. actually sells, and sets the answer against its closest listed comparables — or says plainly when that cannot be done.
SpacBrain’s read on the price
No multiple can be computed
EigenQ, Inc. has no meaningful revenue yet, so no multiple is computable — this is priced on a story, not on financials. The deal still values it at $3.02bn.
The company reports no meaningful sales yet, so there is nothing to divide the price by.
Pro-forma enterprise value as filed.
FY2025 — a reported actual.
Not computable — the filings record only $0M of revenue and treat the company as pre-revenue — a multiple struck on a nominal figure is noise, not a valuation.
$1 of their sales costs $88.02 on the open market. Median of 4 listed companies we judged a true comparable, which individually run from 7.97× to 338.04×. Their share prices are from 15 August 2026, not today.
What qualifies the figures above
- QUCY, HQ, QNT, SEQC, ALAB have no revenue to divide by, so they are shown but left out of the peer median.
- QBTS, RGTI, ICMB shown for context only — not close enough to move the median.
The 12 listed companies it is measured against, and why
- ARQQ338.04× revenue
Arqit Quantum is the closest listed analogue: a quantum-safe / post-quantum encryption vendor selling into government, defence and telecom with negligible revenue and a valuation driven entirely by the PQC-mandate narrative - same buyer, same catalyst (NIST/CNSA 2.0 migration), same near-zero-revenue scale bucket.
- QUCYno revenue multiple
Direct comp: IT Services & Consulting (NEC); micro-cap ($10m); shares quantum, cryptography, against, post, security, infrastructure with the target's own description; forward EV/Sales 83.8x.
- LAES7.97× revenue
SEALSQ sells post-quantum-ready secure semiconductors and hardware root-of-trust chips into IoT, automotive and infrastructure - the same hardware-rooted PQC silicon model EigenQ is pursuing with its PQC+ modules, at a small-cap scale.
- QUBT112.85× revenue
Quantum Computing Inc sells quantum random number generators and photonic quantum devices - directly overlapping EigenQ's QMA quantum-entropy/QRNG line - and is similarly valued on a projected rather than realised revenue base.
- HQno revenue multiple
Operational comp: Software (NEC); shares quantum, execution, hardware, infrastructure, from, technology with the target's own description; no forward EV/Sales published — counted as a peer, excluded from the median.
- IONQ63.18× revenue
IONQ has built out a quantum-networking and quantum-security arm alongside its compute business and is the sector's anchor listed comparable that sets the multiple EigenQ is being priced against; much larger scale bucket, included as the sector reference.
- QBTS586.39× revenuecontext only — left out of the median
D-Wave is a listed quantum pure-play at a broadly comparable enterprise value to EigenQ's ~$3.0B, useful as a scale-bucket comparable, but it sells quantum computing systems and cloud optimisation rather than PQC security hardware - different product and different buyer.
- QNTno revenue multiple
Operational comp: IT Services & Consulting (NEC); shares quantum, hardware, device, with, for, its with the target's own description; forward EV/Sales 556.5x.
- RGTI441.51× revenuecontext only — left out of the median
Rigetti is superconducting quantum-computer hardware for research buyers, not post-quantum security infrastructure for federal IT; sector-adjacent only, included for multiple context.
- SEQCno revenue multiple
Operational comp: IT Services & Consulting (NEC); shares quantum, hardware, assets, into, critical, value with the target's own description; no forward EV/Sales published — counted as a peer, excluded from the median.

Which companies count as comparable is our judgement, written out above so you can disagree with it. The median is what these shares happened to trade at on the date given — not a price anyone is offering for this deal.
In plain English
No floor / floorlessthe cash guarantee is gone — the price is unprotected
A SPAC's downside protection is not the cash in trust; it is your right to demand that cash. Once the redemption window closes, the cash stays with the company and the share can trade anywhere.
Dilutionhow much of the company new shares take from you
Sponsor promote, PIPE shares, warrants and rights all issue stock that did not pay $10 for it. The headline deal value is before that; the effective value is after.
Pro-forma equitywhat the company is valued at once the deal closes
The combined company's equity value assuming the announced terms and the redemptions that have actually happened.
De-SPACthe day the SPAC becomes the real company
The shares stop being a claim on a pot of cash and start being equity in an operating business. Roughly 80% of recent de-SPACs traded below $10 within a year.
Outside datethe contractual long-stop for closing the deal
A deadline between the SPAC and its target, not between the SPAC and you. It confers no right to cash, which is exactly why it must never be counted as a redemption window.
