QuantumAI Secure Deal Poses Integration and Growth Challenges for Codeifai

Quantum Leap in Security

Codeifai Limited (ASX – CDE) has taken a significant step forward in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape by securing shareholder approval to acquire QuantumAI Secure, a next-generation platform developed by Canadian fintech Credissential Inc. This acquisition, expected to close in early Q1 2026 following final due diligence, positions Codeifai at the forefront of quantum-resistant security solutions.

QuantumAI Secure integrates proprietary post-quantum cryptography with AI-optimised encryption, designed to withstand both classical and quantum computational threats. Its offerings include quantum-secure payments, file transfers, and encrypted communications, all delivered via a self-service SaaS model. This technology addresses a critical vulnerability in current encryption methods, which are increasingly at risk from emerging quantum computing capabilities.

Financial Performance and Capital Management

While Codeifai reported a 22% increase in revenue compared to the prior corresponding period, the company experienced a 17% sequential decline from Q3 to Q4 2025, with quarterly revenue reaching $138,000.

The company’s disciplined cash management is evident, with net cash used in operating activities decreasing by 19% quarter-on-quarter and a healthy cash balance of $995,000 at year-end.

Supporting its growth ambitions, Codeifai successfully raised $1.1 million in equity post-quarter, bolstering its financial flexibility as it integrates QuantumAI Secure and expands its AI capabilities into adjacent sectors such as geospatial and subsurface intelligence.

Strategic Expertise and Market Opportunity

Codeifai’s strategic advisory panel, featuring industry heavyweights from Nvidia, OpenAI, WhatsApp, and Binance, underscores the company’s commitment to commercialising advanced AI and quantum-secure solutions. This panel will play a pivotal role in guiding the future development and market rollout of QuantumAI Secure.

The market opportunity is substantial, with secure communications, QR code payments, Buy Now Pay Later services, and file sharing markets collectively valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars globally and expected to grow significantly over the next decade. Codeifai’s platform is designed for seamless integration with existing financial and enterprise systems, facilitating a smooth transition to quantum-resilient infrastructure.

Looking Ahead

Alongside the acquisition, Codeifai is conducting a strategic review of its Material Science division, with conclusions expected in the first half of 2026. The company’s pivot towards AI-driven quantum security solutions reflects a broader industry trend towards safeguarding digital assets against future computational threats.

Executive Chairman and CEO John Houston emphasised the company’s optimism – “With strong momentum in cash management, sustained high margins, and growing global demand for AI and Quantum secured solutions, we believe Codeifai is well-placed to deliver enhanced shareholder value throughout 2026 and beyond.”
