IonQ shares dropped over 8% in pre-market trading following the announcement of a $2 billion equity offering, marking the largest institutional investment in quantum computing history. The deal includes 16.5 million shares at $93 each—a 20% premium to October 9's close—alongside warrants for 43 million additional shares at $155.

CEO Niccolò de Masi framed the capital raise as critical for global expansion and accelerating commercialization. While the funding strengthens IonQ's balance sheet, investors reacted to potential dilution, with shares later recovering 2% in after-hours trading. The stock remains up 69% year-to-date despite the selloff.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
