Quantum computing firms increasingly choose SPACs to go public, locking in valuations earlier.

Quantum computing companies are increasingly opting for SPACs to go public, as this approach allows them to lock in valuations earlier and disclose financial forecasts, unlike traditional methods.

According to Lou Gerken, head of FIGX Capital Acquisition, the share of SPACs among all IPOs in the US rose from approximately 18% in 2024 to 40–45% in 2025 and nearly 60% in 2026. The success of such deals depends on an experienced team, a specialized sponsor, and PIPE financing.
