About QC Capital
QC Capital Limited, also known as Quantum Core, describes itself as an AI-powered deep-tech holding and venture-building platform. Its website names the legal entity as Quantum Core Limited in one place and Quantum Core Capital Limited in another, and lists hubs in Abu Dhabi, Munich, Tokyo and Singapore. Robo.ai's filings describe it as a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.

On 18 June 2026 Robo.ai Inc., the Nasdaq-listed company based in the United Arab Emirates, announced an agreement to acquire 100 percent of QC Capital for US$60 million, payable in newly issued Class B shares. Robo.ai's filings show a share purchase agreement dated 12 June 2026, signed by its subsidiary Robo.ai Investments L.L.C.-FZ, and say the acquisition closed on 15 June 2026, when 20,491,805 shares were issued. Robo.ai's half-year report puts the fair value of those shares at about US$38.7 million. Of the shares, 97 percent are locked up for eight years and released in five annual tranches from the fourth year. Robo.ai's announcement ties releases to multi-year revenue targets, including cumulative revenue of about US$2.4 billion across 2026 and 2027.
The half-year report says QC Capital controls a China-based operating entity and its three subsidiaries through contractual arrangements. That business provides operational management and delivery services and is paid a fixed fee for each completed delivery order. It contributed US$54.4 million of revenue to Robo.ai for 15 to 30 June 2026.
As of the half-year report, QC Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Robo.ai.
