What this transaction means for investors
Trybe Capital bought into D-Wave Quantum stock in a quarter where it experienced extreme volatility. In October of last year, it reached its 52-week high of $46.75 per share. However, it lost more than half of its value within a few weeks and ended the quarter at $26.15 per share.
As previously stated, the stock sells at a significantly lower price now, a factor that speaks to the volatility of these quantum computing stocks. While their exponentially faster speeds could transform the tech industry, it remains unclear whether its commercially-focused products can succeed in the current marketplace.

Investors should also note that Trybe also opened a position in quantum computing peer IonQ, which now represents 3.4% of its AUM. Although this is smaller than its investment in D-Wave Quantum, that move indicates a strong belief in the this industry.
Ultimately, such holdings make Trybe’s fund more risky but could also lead to outsized returns should these stocks move higher over time.
