US Media: US Has Not Entered into Negotiations to Invest in Quantum Company

BlockBeats News, October 23rd, according to sources cited by Yahoo Finance, the Wall Street Journal's report on the government's negotiations to take stakes in quantum computing companies does not align with the actual considerations of the Trump administration. The report stated on Thursday that several quantum computing companies, including IonQ, Rigetti Computing, and D-Wave Quantum, are in talks with the Department of Commerce to exchange equity for federal funding. Companies like Quantum Computing and Atom Computing are also considering similar arrangements. Sources revealed that although these companies have proactively reached out to the White House and the government has received numerous equity financing proposals, Trump insists on being responsible with taxpayer funds, and any investment will utilize the remaining funds from the Trump administration's restructuring of the Biden version of the "Chip Act." The current assessment of the plan may involve warrants or loans, and may not necessarily be limited to the companies mentioned in the report.
