Creating
a very unique collaboration in the sector, on November 25th IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST) and Cycurion
Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU) reported, ”To
further solidify the strategic alliance between the two companies, IQSTEL and
Cycurion today announced an updated approach: Each company will instead
distribute $500,000 worth of its own shares as a one-time, pro-rata dividend to
its shareholders, while preserving the full $1,000,000 in cross-ownership
shares.”

Following a coordinated review, IQSTEL and Cycurion
agreed that issuing dividends in their own shares—rather than redistributing
cross-held shares—provides a more streamlined, efficient, and value-enhancing
structure for shareholders. The original cross-shareholding swap is expected to
proceed next year once the shares meet seasoning requirements.
A Clear Signal of Long-Term Investment and Joint Growth
By keeping the full cross-holding positions intact,
IQSTEL and Cycurion reinforce to the market that their relationship is not
transactional, but rather a long-term investment commitment, reflecting a
shared strategy, joint product development roadmap, and tightly aligned
corporate vision.
Both companies described the decision as a strong
symbol of their status as "sibling companies," working
collaboratively to expand their technological footprint in artificial
intelligence, cybersecurity, telecom, and high-tech enterprise services.
Maintaining Cross-Holdings Strengthens Market Confidence
IQSTEL CEO Leandro Iglesias commented:
"By retaining the full $1,000,000 in shares of
each other, IQSTEL and Cycurion demonstrate a deeper level of trust and
alignment. This is a long-term partnership. We are building high-tech products together,
entering new markets together, and showing shareholders that we are mutually
invested in each other's future."
Recently, IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST) confirmed its plan to
