GlobalFoundries received a $375 million grant to build domestic manufacturing capacity, while IBM received a $1 billion award to build Anderon, the world's first pure-play quantum foundry. In addition to the manufacturing giants, the administration announced $100 million in planned funding for three specific quantum stocks: Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum, and Quantinuum. Rigetti Computing will use the funds to accelerate superconducting quantum research and improve technical bottlenecks. D-Wave Quantum will utilize the money to develop and scale its annealing and gate-model systems. Quantinuum will use the proceeds to work with GlobalFoundries and Monarch Quantum to improve its supply chain for trapped-ion systems. Most recipients of the funding are required to accept a minority, non-controlling equity stake for the U.S. Department of Commerce as a condition of the grants.
