D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) announced it will voluntarily transfer its common stock listing from the New York Stock Exchange to Nasdaq, effective after market close on July 24, 2026.
The company confirmed its ticker symbol will remain “QBTS” when trading on Nasdaq begins on July 27, 2026, ensuring continuity for existing shareholders.
D-Wave described itself as the only dual-platform quantum computing company providing both annealing and gate-model systems, software, and services to commercial and government clients.
The Palo Alto-based company said it has already met all Nasdaq listing requirements and anticipates no disruption to trading activities during the transition period.
CEO Dr. Alan Baratz expressed strong alignment between D-Wave’s identity and the exchange’s reputation in the technology sector, framing the move as strategically fitting.
“Nasdaq is the marketplace for companies shaping the future of technology,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave.
“As the first commercial quantum computing company and a leader in delivering real-world quantum performance, D-Wave is well aligned with the innovation Nasdaq represents,” Baratz added.
He also noted the company’s growth ambitions, saying, “We’re accelerating adoption of quantum solutions with customers around the world and look forward to working with Nasdaq during this transformative time in computing.”
D-Wave operates its Leap quantum cloud service, which the company says offers 99.9% availability and uptime, serving customers on-premises and remotely.
The company reported that more than 100 organizations across commercial, government, and research sectors currently rely on D-Wave to tackle complex computational challenges using quantum technology.
D-Wave has positioned itself as the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, a distinction it has used to differentiate itself from newer competitors entering the rapidly expanding quantum computing market.
The voluntary exchange transfer signals the company’s intent to align more closely with the technology-focused brand identity that Nasdaq has cultivated over decades of hosting major tech firms.
Investors holding QBTS shares through the NYSE transition date will automatically see their holdings reflected under the Nasdaq listing beginning July 27, 2026, with no action required.
