Pasqal Holding SAS has secured SEC approval for its business combination with SPAC Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II, with the registration statement declared effective on August 5, 2026. Shareholders will vote on the deal at an extraordinary general meeting on August 25, 2026. Upon closing, the merged entity will list on Nasdaq under the ticker PSQL. Founded in 2019 by Nobel laureate Alain Aspect, Pasqal has raised over $300 million in private funding and developed neutral-atom quantum processors with architectures exceeding 1,000 physical qubits, targeting 10,000 physical qubits and 200 fault-tolerant logical qubits. The move follows milestones like a 140-qubit system integration with CINECA’s Leonardo supercomputer and a quantum advantage demonstration with Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Why it matters

This SPAC merger signals Pasqal’s transition from private funding to public markets, validating its technical progress and positioning it as a key player in the maturing quantum computing investment landscape.
