Shares of IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave, and QUBT surged up to 22% on reports the US may take equity stakes in quantum firms as part of a CHIPS Act revamp. The Commerce Dept. later denied active negotiations, but investor momentum remained on national security tailwinds and funding prospects.

Sure, if you held your stocks since the dotcom bubble, you would’ve been up—eventually. But three years after the dot-com bust the S&P 500 was still far down from its peak. So, how else can you invest when almost every market is tied to stocks?

Lo and behold, billionaires have an alternative way to diversify: allocate to a physical asset class that outpaced the S&P by 15% from 1995 to 2025, with almost no correlation to equities. It’s part of a massive global market, long leveraged by the ultra-wealthy (Bezos, Gates, Rockefellers etc).
