IBM to Invest $150 Billion in U.S. Manufacturing, Including Quantum Computing Facilities
IBM announced on Monday that it will invest $150 billion in the United States over the next five years, with a significant portion allocated to expanding its production of quantum computers and mainframe systems.
The move aligns IBM with other major technology firms that have recently pledged substantial U.S. investments amid rising trade tensions.

IBM’s commitment follows similar announcements from industry heavyweights like Nvidia and Apple, both of which have pledged around $500 billion in U.S. spending over the next four years. Analysts widely view these investment promises as strategic overtures to President Donald Trump’s administration, which has been pressuring companies to bolster domestic manufacturing through a combination of tariffs and policy incentives.
Several market observers, including D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria, suggest that these massive investment figures are, in part, tactical moves designed to mitigate potential trade disruptions. “While we believe IBM will continue to invest in the emerging area of quantum technology, the bombastic figure is more likely a gesture towards the U.S. administration,” Luria said.

Focus on Quantum and Critical Systems
IBM plans to spend more than $30 billion of the total investment specifically on expanding U.S. manufacturing facilities for quantum computers and mainframes—technologies crucial for handling vast amounts of data and mission-critical applications. Quantum computing, which promises performance thousands of times faster than today’s traditional computers, remains a key area of focus for IBM as it looks to maintain its leadership in cutting-edge technology.
With one of the world’s largest fleets of quantum systems already in operation, IBM’s investment signals its intention to strengthen both its technological edge and its domestic manufacturing footprint in a politically charged environment.
