Amazon sold off its entire stake in IonQ

Amazon sold off its entire stake in IonQ

Amazon bought about 850k shares of IonQ back in Q2 2025, but recent 13F filings show they liquidated the entire position by Q1 2026. The initial investment was likely just a way to strengthen ties for AWS Braket, their quantum cloud service, while Amazon develops its own custom quantum chip called Ocelot. The sell-off probably won't hurt IonQ much since the AWS partnership is still active and the original stake was pretty small. It just looks like Amazon was using a temporary financial position to support a commercial cloud contract.

Looks more strategic than bearish, Amazon still benefits from working with IonQ through AWS, even without holding the stock directly.

Amazon selling feels more like business housekeeping than a shot at the company.
