Reliance Global Group Funds Next Enquantum Milestone, Increasing Ownership and Securing Additional Board Seat
Milestone-Based Execution Continues Under EZRA’s Scale51 Platform
LAKEWOOD, NJ, March 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: EZRA) (“we,” “us,” our,” the “Company” or “Reliance”) today announced that it has funded the next completed milestone in its strategic investment in Enquantum Ltd., a post-quantum cryptography company developing quantum-resilient encryption technology for high-performance environments.
We believe this milestone marks a significant step forward in Enquantum’s commercialization strategy under the Scale51 execution plan, highlighted by continued advancement of its core technology and R&D capabilities, positioning the company for upcoming deployment activities. Enquantum is now actively engaging with prospective partners in North America and moving forward with planned implementation in high-value private network environments in Israel, including program in the southern region of Israel.
With completion of this milestone, Reliance funded the next investment tranche, increasing its ownership position in Enquantum by an additional 4% to approximately 12% on a fully diluted basis and securing an additional board seat under the investment agreement. The agreement details structured, milestone-based tranche investments designed to increase Reliance’s ownership position to a 51% fully diluted controlling interest when all milestones are completed or upon our acceleration at our discretion.
“We believe this milestone reflects the disciplined execution model we outlined from the beginning, where capital is deployed as defined operating objectives are achieved,” said Ezra Beyman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Reliance Global Group. “We expect Enquantum to continue to advance against that framework. This funding increases both our ownership position and our governance role as we continue to execute on EZRA’s Scale51 acquisition platform. We believe this structured approach supports long-term value creation while advancing our path toward a majority position.”
Enquantum represents the first active platform investment under EZRA International Group’s Scale51 model, which is designed to identify high-impact technology opportunities, structure disciplined pathways to majority control, and provide active operational support as companies advance toward broader commercialization and scale.
Google’s recent initiative to develop quantum-safe HTTPS infrastructure underscores the urgency of transitioning the internet’s core security layers to post-quantum standards. The introduction of Merkle Tree Certificates highlights the real-world challenges of deploying quantum-resistant cryptography at scale, particularly around efficiency, bandwidth, and system architecture, reinforcing that quantum resilience is now an active, near-term transformation led by major technology platforms. As foundational protocols like TLS continue to evolve, we believe the need for adaptable and scalable cryptographic solutions becomes increasingly critical across global digital infrastructure.
Enquantum is focused on addressing this shift by developing technologies designed to support the next generation of quantum-resilient security frameworks. Specifically, Enquantum is developing hardware-accelerated, NIST-aligned post-quantum cryptographic solutions engineered for high-throughput, performance-sensitive environments. The Company believes performance validation is an important requirement for adoption across infrastructure markets where encryption must be strengthened without impairing throughput or latency.
“With global cybersecurity spending expected to surpass $300 billion annually by 2029, the urgency around digital risk management continues to intensify.” said Moshe Fishman, Senior Vice President of Strategic Ventures. “We believe the transition to quantum-resilient encryption represents one of the most significant structural shifts in cybersecurity, given encryption’s foundational role across modern digital infrastructure. Enquantum is positioned to play a key role in enabling this transition.”
Reliance views Enquantum as strategically positioned within a broader transition toward quantum-resilient security across regulated financial systems, cloud and AI infrastructure, telecommunications networks, and public-sector environments. Through Scale51 and EZRA International Group, Reliance intends to support Enquantum not only with capital, but also with operational guidance, strategic relationships, and commercialization support as it advances in the market.
