$IONQ $OKLO
[A transparency post]
As some of you might know, I've not been able to make as many thoughtful posts as I would've liked due to the demand of my job. It occupies 85% of my time and mental capacity. AI is coming. AI is here. And work is enabling me to be at the forefront of AI design, development, and adoption. It's right where I want to be.
With that being said, here's an update on my portfolio. From peak-to-trough, I'm down about ~$6.5M.
What have I done?
I have not sold a single share and I've been buying the dips.
Why?
Because my investment thesis and horizon haven't changed.
Both quantum computing and nuclear energy continue to be national security priorities and global leadership must-win imperatives.
$IONQ's recent notable achievements (from Gemini):
- Technical Milestones & Roadmap: Launched the AQ 64 Tempo system and is on track for a 256-qubit system by late 2026, marking their sixth-generation quantum computer.
- Financial Growth & Strength: Reported 202% year-over-year revenue growth, exceeding $100M in GAAP revenue, and entered 2026 with roughly $3.3 billion in cash and investments to fund R&D and acquisitions.
- Strategic Expansion & Partnerships: Announced the acquisition of SkyWater Technology to bolster manufacturing, and expanded partnerships with organizations including QuantumBasel, SK Telecom, Hyundai, and KISTI.
- Full-Stack Development: Beyond computing, $IONQ is scaling in quantum networking, sensing (e.g., experimentation with the X37B space plane), and security.
- Commercial Adoption: Increased remaining performance obligations to $370 million, reflecting strong demand for their, as of, 100-qubit systems.
- Record-Setting Performance: Achieved 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity, marking the highest performance in the industry, enabling more complex algorithms and advancing their roadmap toward million-qubit systems by 2030.
$OKLO's recent notable achievements from Gemini):
- $META Platforms Agreement (Jan 2026): $OKLO signed a landmark deal with Meta to develop a 1.2-gigawatt nuclear energy campus in Ohio. This agreement includes a prepayment mechanism for power, providing upfront funding to advance project certainty and fuel procurement.
- Fuel Supply Chain: $OKLO secured a $2 billion partnership with newcleo for fuel fabrication facilities and is collaborating with Centrus Energy to secure LEU (Low-Enriched Uranium) and fuel materials from government reserves.
- Acquisition of Atomic Alchemy: The $25M acquisition provides a subsidiary focusing on isotope production, with plans to turn on a test reactor by July 4, 2026.
- NSDA Approval (March 2026): The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) approved the Nuclear Safety Design Agreement (NSDA) for Atomic Alchemy’s Groves Isotopes Test Reactor in Texas, following an "Other Transaction Agreement" signed in January.
- Isotope Commercialization License (March 2026): $OKLO received its first materials license from the NRC for its subsidiary, Atomic Alchemy, allowing it to handle, process, and distribute isotopes for medical and industrial use.
- Aurora Design Approval: The DOE approved the NSDA for the Aurora powerhouse project at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), allowing the Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis (PDSA) to proceed.
- Fueling Strategy: $OKLO is utilizing DOE Reactor Pilot Programs, which allow for potential exemption from traditional NRC licensing, targeting mid-2026 for criticality of test reactors.
- $OKLO CEO, Jason DeWitte, is a part of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) along with:
Sergey Brin $GOOG
Safra Catz $ORCL
Michael Dell $DELL
Fred Ehrsam $COIN
Larry Ellison $ORCL
David Friedberg Ohalo / $GOOG
Jensen Huang $NVDA
John Martinis Quantum AI Lab
Bob Mumgaard Commonwealth Fusion Systems
Lisa Su $AMD
Mark Zuckerberg $META
One doesn't get a seat at the table without any proper credential or doesn't bring any value to the group.
So, yes, I'm still bullish. And, yes, I remain a long-term investor in both $IONQ and $OKLO.

Uruguay generates nearly 43% of its electricity from wind and solar. In 2010, the share was less than 1%.
Most of the rest if hydro.
Today, Uruguay produces nearly 99% of its electricity from renewable sources.

@SubuTrade Thanks for sharing, and yes, too many contradict data

@account_blown they accumulate on the downside, as always, could keep selling if they bot much lower

@idafegonzalez Nunca escuches a los haters de FinX, no saben nada! Me aburrí de escuchar que no se podía invertir en China. Simplemente el mercado tiene sus ciclos y la negatividad de un sector puede durar unos años

El resurgir del muerto.
La verdad que me encantaría que saliera todo bien para los accionistas de Nagarro.
Primero, porque hay mucha gente invertida de España y me gustaría que les fuera bien.
Y, segundo, para ver el discurso de FinX si al final acaba siendo buena inversión 😂
¿Cambiarán de discurso los haters?

Idafe González@idafegonzalez
Sería irónico que al final acabara siendo una buena inversión 😂 No es una empresa en la que invertiríamos hoy, aunque en su día le hicimos una tesis… Pero estaría curioso ver qué pasaría en FinX si termina dando una TIR potente. Alejandro saldría como el GOAT absoluto después de holdearla tanto tiempo y cayéndole tanto hate 🤷🏽♂️

@ZeeContrarian1 And where is the black swan? Downtrends are not a black swan
English

I’m starting to believe the next real Black Swan in the markets might come from Bitcoin and spill straight into the Nasdaq.
What’s different now compared to past Bitcoin drawdowns?
Bitcoin is mainstream. And with that mainstream status came an explosion of ways to borrow, bet, and pile on leverage around it - far more than we’ve ever had before.

@Mr_Derivatives Need to do an avg vwap from June pump, that 200 day don’t make any sense

@sam_badawi If he trim half, he could be trading it, and don’t think he sold it with a loss
English

Peter Thiel sold all of his $NVDA and $VST, and then unloaded most of his $TSLA stake last quarter.
Now he’s trimming again, this time selling half of his position in $BMNR.
It really begs the question… what is he doing with all of this cash, and more importantly, why?

Sam Badawi@Sam_Badawi
After holding for a few months, Peter Thiel cut his $BMNR position in half, likely taking a loss on the sale. And interestingly, based on the $ETH chart, he trimmed the position right around the same levels Ethereum was trading at back in July.
