D-Wave Quantum Has Been Cut in Half—Can a Leveraged ETF Help Bulls?By Nathan Reiff. Originally Published: 3/31/2026. 
Key Points
- Quantum computing firm D-Wave Quantum has shed more than 50% of its share price so far in 2026 amid a selloff after a sustained rally last year.
- At the same time, QBTX is a single-stock ETF aiming to provide 2X leveraged exposure to the daily share price movement of QBTS.
- QBTX may be more appropriate for risk-tolerant investors expecting a single-day bump in D-Wave stock, while QBTS could be more suitable for those expecting the company to reverse its selloff and continue to make a significant impact on the quantum computing industry over a longer period.

Quantum computing firm D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) has crossed the 50% threshold — meaning shares have lost more than half of their value year-to-date (YTD) in 2026 — leaving investors wondering how much lower they might fall. The last time QBTS stock traded below $14 per share was in May 2025; shares then surged to more than three times that price by October. Despite the many reasons investors may be concerned about the company's selloff, a lower share price for D-Wave presents one potential advantage: a given dollar gain represents a larger percentage increase than it would at a higher share price.

Put differently, if QBTS is trading at $14 and increases by $1, that is a larger percentage gain than the same $1 increase when the stock is trading at $30. That dynamic is where the Tradr 2X Long QBTS Daily ETF (BATS: QBTX) may come into play. What QBTX Offers and Why Its Appeal Is Different From QBTSQBTX is one of a growing number of single-stock exchange-traded funds (ETFs) designed to provide leveraged exposure to a single underlying stock. Most ETFs hold a diversified basket of securities; single-stock funds like QBTX take the opposite approach, sacrificing diversification to magnify the daily returns of one company. QBTX seeks to deliver 2X long exposure to the daily return of D-Wave. If D-Wave stock rises 5% in a single day, QBTX is structured to attempt a 10% gain. Conversely, on days when D-Wave declines, QBTX will magnify those losses. Because of that leverage and focus, D-Wave and QBTX should be viewed as very different investment plays despite their apparent link. QBTS may appeal to investors who are bullish on quantum computing and willing to hold shares for months or years as the company works toward higher revenue and profitability. QBTX, by contrast, is a tactical tool for active traders seeking to capitalize on short-term moves — for example, a one-day surge after a strong earnings report or a major contract announcement. It Comes Down to Risk Tolerance and Time HorizonD-Wave faces near-term pressures, likely tied to Q4 2025 earnings misses and investor expectations that revenue could remain uneven as the company spends more aggressively to expand its operations. That uncertainty compounds the already speculative nature of the quantum computing industry. Analysts across Wall Street remain largely optimistic about D-Wave's longer-term prospects, and the consensus price target still sits above $36 per share. That outlook may make QBTS suitable for investors with at least a moderate risk tolerance and a medium-to-long investment horizon. QBTX's daily 2X leverage on an already speculative stock makes it appropriate only for sophisticated investors with a high tolerance for risk. Because the leverage resets each trading day, holding QBTX over multiple days can lead to path-dependent compounding that causes its performance to diverge from exactly twice the return of QBTS over longer periods. When is QBTX a useful play for QBTS bulls? It can be effective for traders confident in a short-term directional bet tied to a specific catalyst — for example, the announcement of an Advantage2 system sale or a major government contract. It can also amplify gains when D-Wave is showing sustained upward momentum. In all cases, traders should close QBTX positions before the end of the trading day to limit compounding and overnight risk. Investors who are broadly convinced of the transformative potential of quantum computing but prefer less concentrated exposure may choose from a growing number of quantum-focused ETFs. Those funds offer greater diversification and avoid the leverage risk inherent in single-stock, leveraged ETFs for anyone unwilling to rely on a single company's outcome. |
