$IONQ is raising $2B at $40 per share as it continues building out its quantum computing platform.
That would bring its cash to ~$4B giving IonQ more firepower to expand beyond quantum computers into manufacturing, networking and security through acquisitions like SkyWater and Elisity.

Replying to V@VanquishTrader: 
@StockSavvyShay says that after this move $IONQ can offer both halves of a secure network, deciding which connections are allowed and protecting them with quantum-safe encryption. She likes the move.

@StockSavvyShay highlights that $IONQ is acquiring cybersecurity firm Elisity for about $1.3B, expanding beyond quantum computing into enterprise security. Elisity controls device communication on corporate networks, giving IonQ an identity and security layer that could generate revenue before mass quantum adoption and position it for post-quantum security.

$IONQ is acquiring cybersecurity firm Elisity for ~$1.3B deal expanding beyond quantum computing into enterprise security.
Elisity controls which devices can communicate across corporate networks giving IonQ an identity and security layer alongside its existing quantum networking capabilities.
What makes this really interesting is IonQ could start generating security revenue long before quantum computers reach mass adoption while positioning itself for shift toward post quantum security.

$IONQ just demonstrated over 1,000 entanglements per second between an ion and quantum memory versus just 1 to 10 for typical remote ion links.
What’s wild is the ability to store successful connections instead of restarting them making it way easier to link quantum processors into larger systems.
