Smart money isn't just watching the quantum narrative, they’re front-running it.
BTQ Founder & CEO Olivier just scooped up another 150k shares in the open market (~$760k clip).
That’s 750,000 shares total he’s personally bought this year. Most CEOs stop adding once the chart moves; Olivier is doubling down.

A HISTORY OF LEDGER DATA BREACHES

WILL ALTSEASON FINALLY HAPPEN IN 2026 ?
Yes, it’s possible. Let me explain.
1) The historical cycle most people forget
Altcoin cycles don’t start randomly.
They usually start after OTHERS/BTC bottoms and break out.
In Q4 2016, ALT/BTC bottomed.
The breakout came soon after, and Q1-Q2 2017 turned into a strong altcoin run.
In Q4 2020, the same thing happened.
ALT/BTC bottomed again, broke its downtrend, and Q1-Q2 2021 became the next major alt cycle.
Both times, the pattern was clear:
Bottom first → Breakout → Altcoins outperform Bitcoin in the following quarters.
2) Where we are now in 2026 ?

Furthermore, when the S&P 500 ends January higher, the index has delivered a median full-year gain of +11.8%, with positive returns nearly 80% of the time.
