## Resource

Honeywell-backed Quantinuum priced its U.S. IPO at $60 a share and raised roughly $1.68 billion, according to Reuters reporting carried by CNBC. The listing signals growing investor appetite for commercial quantum computing and sets a new public valuation reference point. IonQ, Rigetti, and D-Wave remained the limited set of public comparisons after going public via SPACs, with volatile trading. Enterprise pilots continue across finance, pharma, automotive, and energy, often accessed through cloud platforms from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. U.S. policy, including the National Quantum Initiative and NIST's post-quantum cryptography work, is shaping adoption signals. Founders should track buyer metrics, structure pilots around measurable outcomes, and plan funding around verifiable progress and partnerships.
