According to the Wall Street Journal, a large part of Arqit’s pitch when going public via SPAC merger in September 2021 was that its signature Quantum Cloud product was selling well and had helped lock in a secure source of revenue. But according to the Wall Street Journal, its flagship Quantum Cloud technology “might never apply beyond niche uses.” After interviewing insiders and reviewing documents, The Wall Street Journal further alleges that at IPO time, Arqit had “little more than an early-stage prototype of its encryption system.”
In February 2021, Arqit’s chief revenue officer resigned, reportedly citing concerns that the CEO was “overstating contracts and giving unrealistic revenue projections to potential investors.” Indeed, as reported by Seeking Alpha, Arqit’s CEO claimed the company had “comfortably more money than we need” and they “[didn’t] need to raise any more money, ever.” However, former employees and people familiar with the company claim that in reality, Arqit's revenue is not from selling its product; instead, they say Arqit largely relies on government research grants to meet its business goals. Following the allegations in the Wall Street Journal Report, Arqit Quantum stock plummeted over 20% in intraday trading on Monday, April 18, 2022, causing significant harm to investors.
