Billionaire Ken Griffin is pouring millions of dollars into two new bets on quantum technology.

A new 13F filing shows the Citadel CEO added positions in Rigetti Computing (RGTI) and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) in the third quarter.

Citadel purchased approximately 51,700 shares of Rigetti, valued at about $1.6 million based on the September 30th closing price of $29.79.

Rigetti specializes in gate-based quantum systems using superconducting qubits, with a roadmap targeting scalable, fault-tolerant processors by 2027.

The firm also added around 122,600 shares of D-Wave, worth roughly $3.10 million at the quarter-end price of $24.71.

D-Wave focuses on quantum annealing for optimization problems, boasting systems with over 4,000 qubits that tolerate noise better than competitors.

The stakes, though small relative to Citadel’s $657 billion portfolio, highlight Griffin’s interest in emerging tech. Rigetti’s stock surged 3,750% since January 2023, while D-Wave rose 1,770% since January 2024.

Wall Street remains bullish, with analysts projecting 42% upside for Rigetti and 48% for D-Wave over the next year. However, quantum tech faces hurdles, with commercial viability likely a decade away.

OPEN’s stock rally Notably, Opendoor’s rally has been fueled by major corporate shifts and market speculation. For instance, in August, the company named former Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian as CEO, while co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu rejoined the board, moves seen as a return to the company’s early innovative spirit.  Outgoing CEO Carrie Wheeler’s resignation and sale of millions in stock reinforced the sense of a new chapter.
