Klein-Backed SPAC, Quantum Firm Infleqtion Ink $1.8 Billion Deal

By Bailey Lipschultz and Jane Lanhee Lee

(Bloomberg) — Quantum computing firm Infleqtion has agreed to merge with a blank-check firm led by Michael Klein in a pact that gives the startup a pre-money valuation of $1.8 billion.

The merger with special purpose acquisition company Churchill Capital Corp. X, Klein’s 10th blank-check vehicle, is set to accelerate Infleqtion’s goal of commercializing quantum products. The deal is expected to provide more than $540 million to the upstart, including a co-investment from institutional investors Maverick Capital, Counterpoint Global and Glynn Capital, among others.

The possibility of a swift listing was a key driver for Infleqtion to merge with a SPAC, said Chief Executive Officer Matthew Kinsella, who anticipates the deal being completed later this year or early in 2026. That compares to an 18- to 24-month process via an IPO, he said in an interview.

Infleqtion’s glass cell, the heart of their neutral atom quantum computers.

The SPAC had roughly $416 million in cash held in its trust accounts as of the end of June, which would pair with the $125 million in a common stock PIPE — private investment in public equity — according to a statement reviewed by Bloomberg News.

A completed merger would add to five previous de-SPAC deals by Klein. The performance of those firms has been mixed, with nuclear firm Oklo Inc. up about 600% while companies including Skillsoft Corp. have spiraled downward.

For Infleqtion, the track record of Churchill SPACs delivering the bulk of their cash in trust to their partner companies made it an attractive sponsor, said Kinsella. The quantum firm agreed to the deal despite drawing interest from other SPACs, which pitched higher valuations, he said.

Infleqtion is the latest quantum computer startup to pick a SPAC deal to go public in the US, following IonQ Inc., Rigetti Computing Inc. and D-Wave Quantum Inc.

Quantum computer stocks have sent investors on a roller-coaster ride over the past three years, with skeptics and believers in a tug-of-war over if and when the technology will have real world uses. Nvidia Corp., which doesn’t build its own quantum computers, has partnered with most of the major quantum computing industry players to help bring the hardware into data centers. The AI chip giant’s venture capital arm for the first time is investing in Honeywell International Inc.’s Quantinuum, valuing that quantum computer maker at $10 billion.

Infleqtion plans to use proceeds from the merger to strengthen its balance sheet, accelerate investment in its quantum computer using what’s known as neutral atom technology and scale customer adoption.

In addition to building quantum computers, Infleqtion has developed quantum sensor technology which can be used for precision clocks and geolocation that can be a backup for the half-century-old GPS technology facing increasing spoofing and blackouts.

Infleqtion said last year that it secured $11 million from the US Defense Department to help advance its quantum positioning systems. As there is so far no quantum computer that can solve real world problems, other quantum technology revenue can help provide funding until companies can build bigger systems that can solve problems such as breaking encryption or creating new drugs faster.

Neutral atom technology uses lasers to hold atoms in place to create qubits, which are like bits in classical computers. These quantum computers can run at room temperature and don’t require giant cryogenic refrigerators like those used by companies such as Alphabet Inc or International Business Machines Corp.

Infleqtion said it has so far sold three quantum computers and hundreds of quantum sensors, generating about $29 million in trailing 12-month revenue as of June 30. The company expects about $50 million of booked and awarded business by the end of 2025.
