Investing.com – Reliance Global Group Inc (NASDAQ:EZRA) stock surged 28% in pre-market trading on Monday after the company completed the acquisition of post-quantum cryptography firm Enquantum Ltd.

This transaction is EZRA’s first platform acquisition under its Scale51 operating model and paves the way for gaining majority control of Enquantum. According to the agreement, Reliance obtained an initial equity stake through converting secured bridge notes and an additional cash investment as the first milestone payment.

The deal structure stipulates a milestone-based, phased investment aimed at increasing Reliance’s ownership to a fully diluted 51% controlling stake, contingent upon achieving operational and commercialization milestones. Reliance expects to gain majority governance rights after meeting and funding specific milestones.

Enquantum develops hardware-accelerated, NIST-standard post-quantum cryptography solutions designed for high-throughput environments. The company’s architecture can operate at the petabit scale without increasing latency. In 2025, Enquantum secured a patent covering FPGA-based encrypted communications that leverage quantum-resistant technology.

This acquisition comes at a time when security agencies and industry experts warn of a “collect now, decrypt later” strategy—capturing encrypted data now with the hope that it can be decrypted once advanced quantum systems become available. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is advancing post-quantum cryptography standards to prepare for a multi-year infrastructure upgrade cycle.

Reliance Global Group Chairman and CEO Ezra Beyman said, “We have built a milestone-driven acquisition path aimed at ultimately achieving majority control, and today we have completed the first phase.”

By 2029, global cybersecurity spending is expected to exceed $300 billion annually. The company believes that the transition to quantum-resistant encryption could represent a broader structural shift in the cybersecurity industry.
