BTQ Technologies Announces Strategic Collaboration with TIDAL PWR to Advance Trusted Quantum Data Center Architecture

BTQ and TIDAL PWR to developa repeatable architecture for quantum-enabled data centers, trusted supply chains, procurement standards, and secure deployment modelsfor large-scale AI and advanced computing infrastructure

VANCOUVER, BC, July 20, 2026 /CNW/ - BTQ TechnologiesCorp. ("BTQ" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: BTQ) (CBOE CA: BTQ), a global technology company building the trust infrastructure for the quantum era, is pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with TIDAL PWR, a Texas-based developer of power generation and data center infrastructure for AI and advanced computing.

TIDAL PWR is focused on one of the most important constraints in AI infrastructure: reliable power and scalable data center buildout. As AI, high-performance computing, and quantum systems begin to converge around the same facilities, BTQ believes data center operators will need a clearer framework for deciding what to deploy, how to secure it, which vendors and devices to trust, and how to prepare facilities for quantum systems without treating quantum as an open-ended research project.

The collaboration is intended to develop a trusted quantum data center reference architecture that can be applied across future large-scale facilities. The initial scope is expected to include quantum data center design principles, trusted supply chain requirements, vendor and device procurement standards, post-quantum cryptographic security considerations, and a repeatable deployment model for facilities seeking to integrate quantum systems into AI, high-performance computing, and enterprise data center environments.

For BTQ, Building Trusted Quantum Technologies means helping operators move from interest in quantum to practical deployment. In the context of data centers, that means answering the operational questions that sit between research and real infrastructure: what systems should be deployed, how they should be secured, which vendors and devices can be trusted, how procurement standards should be written, and how quantum infrastructure can be built into facilities with defined technical and commercial outcomes.

"Building trusted quantum infrastructure is not just about the technology itself. It is about giving operators a clear path to deploy it," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO ofBTQ Technologies. "TIDAL PWR is focused on one of the most important constraints in AI infrastructure: reliable power and data center buildout. By combining that focus with BTQ's work across post-quantum security, quantum systems architecture, and trusted deployment models, we believe there is an opportunity to help define what a quantum data center should look like before the market standard is set."

The collaboration is expected to focus on several workstreams, including:

"TIDAL PWR is building power and data center infrastructure for the next wave of AI demand, and we see quantum as a natural extension of where advanced computing is going," said Chad Swensen, President and CEO of TIDAL PWR. "BTQ brings a practical framework for trusted quantum deployment, from security and procurement to architecture and vendor alignment. We believe this collaboration can help position TIDAL PWR among the first infrastructure developers planning for the quantum requirements of future data centers."

BTQ's role is expected to center on solutions architecture, post-quantum security guidance, trusted procurement frameworks, and vendor mapping across the quantum infrastructure stack. The objective is to create a practical blueprint that data center operators can use to evaluate, procure, secure, and deploy quantum-related infrastructure with defined technical and commercial outcomes.

"Quantum, AI, and data center infrastructure are moving toward the same physical footprint," added Roussy Newton. "The companies that build the data centers will need a trusted way to decide what to deploy, what to secure, what to buy, and how to make those systems useful. That is what BuildingTrusted Quantum Technologies means in practice."

The parties intend to begin with an initial planning and architecture track, with the potential to expand the relationship into deeper technical, commercial, and project-specific opportunities.
