The post A $1,000 investment in June’s top quantum computing IPO is now worth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. While Elon Musk’s other trillion-dollar company drew the bulk of attention, SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) was not the only exciting technology stock to hit the public markets in June 2026. Specifically, the quantum computing company Quantinuum (NASDAQ: QNT) launched on June 4 with an initial public offering (IPO) price of $60 per share, which turned into $68 already at the morning bell but then dipped to $60.38 by the evening. At press time in the July 10 pre-market, however, QNT equity is worth substantially more: $74 following a 0.67% extended session rally from $73.51 at the latest close. Under the circumstances, $1,000 invested at either the IPO price or close to the June 4 closing bell would have turned into $1,233.30 for $233.30 in profits, simultaneously making it a superior investment to SpaceX stock.

The post Empery Digital sells 1,400 BTC for $65M to fund AI pivot appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Empery Digital (NASDAQ: EMPD) sold 1,400 Bitcoins from the stash it built throughout 2025 at an average of $62,200 a coin, raising about $87.1 million to invest in AI data centers and pay down debt. The Nasdaq-listed company started the sale in May and is now left holding 1,514 BTC. Why did Empery Digital sell its Bitcoin? Barely one year ago, Empery Digital rebranded from Volcon Inc. and changed its whole business plan from electric vehicles to focusing on holding Bitcoin. Now, it is walking away from that strategy to chase the booming demand for AI computing power. Why? The simple answer is that its Bitcoin investment lost a lot of value. Cryptopolitan previously reported that Empery bought most of its Bitcoin when prices were around $117,000 per coin. However, when prices fell below $70,000 earlier this year, those holdings dropped more than 40% in value. The company revealed in an
