On May 22, Infleqtion rose 11.36% in regular trading, trading at $17.6967/share, with trading volume of $219 million. The rally extends momentum from the prior session as government quantum funding news continues to drive strong buying interest.

On the news front, the US Commerce Department announced approximately $20 billion in equity investments across nine quantum computing enterprises to strengthen American leadership in quantum technology. Infleqtion signed a $100 million letter of intent with the Commerce Department, with CEO Matthew Kinsella stating that the large-scale government investment signals quantum computing is being recognized as technology with real-world potential. IBM received $1 billion for a dedicated quantum chip manufacturing facility, while GlobalFoundries secured $375 million for domestic quantum component production.

The policy catalyst triggered a sector-wide surge, with D-Wave Quantum and Rigetti Computing rising over 30%, and IonQ gaining over 11%. Multiple quantum stocks continued higher in pre-market trading on May 22, with analysts noting elevated short interest across the sector suggesting potential short-squeeze dynamics. The stock had previously corrected over 25% in three sessions following Q1 earnings, providing additional technical rebound momentum.
