IonQ closes its all-stock Elisity acquisition with $1.15B of issued stock

Consideration is equity rather than cash, so this is a capital-structure event and not a financing inflow.

DATA STATUS NOTICE

Data status — the entries below are compiled from dated, first-party releases and official registers, with the original source linked on every brief. They are not a live news feed, and the site owner has not yet completed an independent line-by-line verification pass. Open a source link before citing a figure.

Editorial note

The closing release states $1.15 billion of common stock plus up to $150 million contingent on revenue milestones through January 2028, and discloses no cash purchase price. An all-stock deal brings no new cash into the company, so entering it as a funding round would inflate a cumulative total by construction. It does widen the product perimeter considerably: identity-based Zero Trust policy enforcement sits a long way from trapped-ion hardware.

How this entry was published

The launch entries were compiled from dated first-party releases and official registers at the site owner's request and are explicitly marked as awaiting an independent verification pass. From here on an AI agent can only draft: an editor who has opened the original sources moves an entry through reviewed to published, and anything missing a source or a hand-written bilingual note produces no page at all.
