Zena Tech
This post is speculative in nature but i found the connections interesting in light of some of the recent events so i thought i would share.
ZenaTech, Inc.
(NASDAQ:ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions.
From June 2 to July 2 Zena Tech acquired 13.3% of Plurilocks shares.
"the Acquiror owned 14,973,718 Shares,
representing approximately 13.3% of the outstanding Shares, as of July 2, 2026.
On September 29, 2026 and September 30, 2026, the Acquiror sold all 14,973,718 Shares owned by it at prices ranging from $0.21 to $0.22 per Share
over the TSXV. As a result, the Acquiror no longer owns any Shares."
The day after QeM announced their aquisition of Plurilock, Zenatech started dumping their entire holdings. One way to look at this is them locking in solid profits from PLUR shares rising on the announcement of the deal. There is also another possible way to look at it that im exploring here. ZenaTech has a history of aquisitions they themselves brag about. A recent example is their dealings with Boardwalktech (BWLK). Zenatek aquired 19.9%(plus warrants for more) of BWLK and has called for a shareholder meeting to approve their warrants excersise to become a controlling person in the company and take over the board.
"As a result of these transactions, the Acquiror owns an aggregate of 25,779,437
Common Shares representing approximately 19.9% of the outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and, assuming the exercise of the Warrants acquired in the Private Placement, owns an aggregate of 40,779,437 Common Shares representing approximately 28.02% of the outstanding Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis. The Acquiror has agreed to a blocker restricting the exercise of any Warrants that would result in the Acquiror owning more than 19.9% of the outstanding Common Shares."
"announces it has requisitioned a meeting of shareholders of the Company pursuant to the Business Corporations Act
(British Columbia) to (i) approve an ordinary resolution of disinterested shareholders of the Company authorizing ZenaTech to exercise all of the share purchase warrants of the Company acquired by ZenaTech from the Company in a private placement on July 31, 2026, resulting in ZenaTech becoming a "Control Person" of the Company, (ii) approving ordinary resolutions authorizing the alteration of the Articles of the Company to allow the shareholders of the Company to set the number of directors of the Company which is currently within the power of the directors and to remove directors by ordinary resolution of shareholders; and (iii) approve a special resolution (or ordinary resolution if approved in (ii) above) removing each of the current directors of the Company and electing each of the nominees of ZenaTech as described in this press release."
"ZenaTech, as the largest shareholder of the Company, has had multiple conversations with the Company and has observed the management's lack of motivation to consider fresh ideas that can spur growth... ZenaTech has a proven track record through 30+ acquisitions in less than 2 years and reported Q12026 revenue growth of 640% year over year."
"Boardwalktech has some interesting technology and some high-end clients. However, ZenaTech believes the Company's technology has been highly under-utilized and does not believe the technology is being used effectively or efficiently and there is substantial room for growth on a number of fronts. Management has demonstrated little to no creativity to expand the horizons of current technology offerings. Boardwalktech Software Corp. is averse to proactive growth strategies and cross-selling outside of their comfort zone; ZenaTech can create catalytic growth levers."
This hostile takeover attempt by Zenatek on BWLK is ongoing, they mention seeing value in BWLK's tech and obviously want control of the company. Its possible they had similar intentions with Plurilock. Before taking their 13.3% stake in Plurilock, Zena announced the advancement of their drones through US certifications, with work underway on cyber security validation.
ZenaTech Advances Three ZenaDrone Defense Platforms Through Blue UAS Certification Pathway
May 19, 2026
"ZenaTek...announces that three of its ZenaDrone subsidiary's defense platforms...have advanced to the cybersecurity phase of the U.S. Department of Defense's Blue UAS certification pathway, positioning the company for eligibility on U.S. government and defense procurement lists...The drones are now advancing to phase three--cybersecurity validation--where third-party penetration testing will assess system resilience, encryption integrity, and operational security under simulated adversarial conditions. Final Blue UAS status remains subject to successful completion of the remaining certification phases and the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) review."
Its possible ZenaTek saw value in Plurilocks cyber security capabilities or experience and access to contract pools for US/Canada/NATO and had plans to aquire Plurilock for this value. Then QeM announces they are aquiring Plurilock for a good premium and Zena dumps. One thing that stood out in QeM's press release about the aquisition was the mention of a securities law that can block certain shareholders from voting on the plurilock aquisition to maintain "majority of the minority".
From the PR
"At the Meeting, the Arrangement will require approval by (i) at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by Plurilock Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, and (ii) at least a simple majority of the votes cast by Plurilock Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, excluding votes from certain shareholders as required under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions."
Im not a securities lawyer, more of a red neck honestly, but if its possible that Zena would have been restricted from voting on the Plurilock Aquisition it could account for them dumping their shares. If this is not the case at all, which i readily admit it might not be, then Zena dumping their shares can also just be explained by them backing off on their intentions with plurilock, not wanting/unable to compete with QeM's offer. It seems as though QeM is not the only party that saw value in PLUR, they just out played the competition.
Zena Tech, Plurilock, QeM... triangle of love but only two can be together. The girl (Plurilock) picks the tall, handsome, successfull man with more money (QeM) and the spurned lover(Zena) storms off after casting away all that reminded them(shares) of the girl they couldnt have. They cause quite the scene when they left(susbtantial short positions on QeM) and it will likely take a while for it to blow over(weird arbitrage situation) but what matters is the right guy got the girl.
If anyone from Zena Tech reads this, i think your drones are cool. Quantum sensing for operating in areas without gps or sattelite data, if you can prove out this tech it will be impressive indeed. One thing the drones missing is high quality entropy, Plurilocks soon to be parent company QNC is working on some chips that would make a nice addition to the drones, worth checking out id say.
Dr. Bellido if you read this i got a suggestion as a meme connoisseur. "The best is yet to come" is a better catch phrase than "we are just getting started", you know? Also im a huge fan, you have brought amazing success to QNC and im excited for the future!
Last thing i promise... the QNC discord recently hit 500 members, highly reccomend, ill leave the link.
