IBM Stock or Bitcoin? Quantum is Making Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary Rethink

Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary says he is looking at IBM as quantum computing fears weigh on Bitcoin (BTC). He also says institutions want regulatory clarity before they buy, keeping the asset flat. Still, O’Leary says he holds on to his Bitcoin. His IBM interest suggests part of the quantum trade could flow toward tech stocks instead of crypto. Why Are Institutions Still Waiting on Washington? On the regulatory side, Washington has yet to deliver. The stalled CLARITY Act would set federal rules for crypto markets. However, the bill has not moved since a 49 to 50 Senate vote in September fell short of the 60 votes needed. Meanwhile, Bitcoin still trades well below its October 2025 record high. The concern is not new for O’Leary.
