• During a recent interview on Fox Business’ Making Money with Charles Payne, CEO Dr. Alan Baratz said that D-Wave has taken a different approach, allowing it to move faster and begin providing commercial quantum solutions.
• D-Wave has the largest quantum computers in the world and is the first to support real business applications in production.

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software and services, and the first commercial provider of quantum computers, announced recently that its CEO Dr. Alan Baratz was interviewed on Fox Business’ Making Money with Charles Payne, discussing the state of the quantum industry and real-world impact D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing is delivering for businesses today (https://ibn.fm/vx9Nk).

Dr. Baratz explained that, compared to other companies in the industry still in the research and development phase, D-Wave is the first commercial quantum computing company that has made the transition to active commercial use of its systems. He believes that annealing quantum computing is emerging as the critical accelerant to commercial adoption of quantum computing. The technology is uniquely suited for various optimization problems, which are widespread throughout enterprises and governments. D-Wave is working with organizations across many sectors to tackle computationally complex optimization problems, including workforce scheduling, production scheduling, logistics routing, resource optimization, and more (https://ibn.fm/M993I).

D-Wave is focused on helping its customers leverage the power of quantum to easily develop their own applications. “You access our systems through our quantum cloud service. It’s quite simple to program our quantum computers. We provide professional services to help our customers get started, and we have one customer that worked with us to program their first application, a workforce scheduling application, who then built their own last-mile routing application without any help from us,” Dr. Baratz said. “So it’s relatively easy to program the systems and start using them.”

In addition, the company provides important training programs, ranging from beginner level to more advanced, to help the developer community learn how to use quantum computing and build applications that can benefit business operations today.

Dr. Baratz explained that the company’s quantum computers, which have been in development for years, have now reached the point where they can support commercial applications that are moving into production. A recent example is Japan’s mobile phone operator NTT DOCOMO, which is using D-Wave technology to optimize mobile network performance.

“We’ve taken a very different approach to quantum computing from everyone else in the industry and that has allowed us to move much faster,” Dr. Baratz said. “We currently have the largest quantum computers in the world, and the only ones that are actually supporting business applications in production. Customers are using them to run their business operations today.”

• Transition to a value-based care approach prioritizes quality outcomes over service volume, but calls for a dramatic overhaul of infrastructure, culture and operations.
• Shifting to value-based care means significant changes in mindset and practice among clinicians, while also disrupting traditional revenue models, creating initial financial risks.
• Leadership, data analytics, care coordination, and payer collaboration, are key to successful implementation.
• Adageis is structured to support providers during this transformation, with its unique offering of tools and solutions to simplify the necessary moves, including AI-driven analytics and patient-focused care solutions.
• The company’s platform is designed to help healthcare organizations optimize care delivery and improve reimbursement under value-based contracts.

The U.S. healthcare system is at a crossroads, shifting from fee-for-service models to value-based care. This transition prioritizes quality outcomes over service volume but requires a dramatic overhaul of infrastructure, culture and operations. Adageis, a forward-thinking healthcare technology company, is at the forefront of this shift, with its focus on revolutionizing patient care through innovative value-based care solutions.

The challenges of this shift to value-based care are significant. Financial uncertainty looms large, as providers accustomed to predictable revenues under fee-for-service models must now shoulder financial risk tied to patient outcomes. Many organizations also face gaps in their data systems, making it difficult to measure and track the metrics that drive value-based reimbursements.

Clinicians must adopt a new mindset—one focused on quality, collaboration and patient-centered care. Yet resistance is common. Providers often cite concerns about financial risks, inadequate training, and the administrative burden of managing complex payment models. Payers add to the challenge with diverse contracts and reporting requirements, further complicating adoption.

Transitioning to value-based care calls for a systematic approach. Key strategies include:

• Leadership commitment: Strong leadership ensures alignment of goals and the allocation of resources for infrastructure and training.
• Data analytics: Investing in robust tools helps monitor quality metrics and identify high-risk patient populations.
• Care coordination: Streamlining communication across care settings improves outcomes and reduces costs.
• Clinical transformation: Training clinicians on evidence-based practices equips them to deliver targeted, high-quality care.
• Payer collaboration: Aligning contracts with value-based goals ensures fair reimbursement and reduces administrative friction.

Despite the hurdles, the benefits of value-based care are clear. A focus on prevention and quality leads to better patient outcomes, while managing costs slows the growth of healthcare spending. For the U.S. healthcare system, these shifts are essential for long-term sustainability.

Adageis has all the tools needed to support providers during this transformation. Its ProActive Care Platform uses AI-driven predictive analytics to help healthcare organizations optimize care delivery and improve reimbursement under value-based contracts.

The platform integrates seamlessly with existing electronic medical records, reducing the barriers to adoption and empowering providers to focus on patient outcomes. By identifying high-risk patients and streamlining care planning, Adageis enables healthcare organizations to succeed in a value-based care environment.

The ProActive Care Platform supports patient-centered care while optimizing reimbursements linked to quality metrics and value-based contracts. Key features include:

• Predictive Analytics: AI-driven insights identify high-risk patients and care gaps.
• Proactive Efficiency: Monitors patient health continuously, allowing for timely interventions.
• Flexible Integration: Compatible with leading EMR systems, ensuring smooth implementation without disrupting workflows or requiring extensive training.

Adageis is paving the way to the full implementation of a value-based care system by offering innovative solutions that address the financial, operational and cultural challenges of this transition. The company’s goal is to provide healthcare providers with the tools they need to navigate this challenging switch, delivering better outcomes for patients and sustainability for the entire healthcare system.

In an era dominated by technological innovation and the rise of digital assets like bitcoin, gold remains a steadfast pillar of wealth preservation. As the financial landscape evolves with blockchain, decentralized finance, and other digital technologies, gold continues to stand tall as the ultimate safe haven asset (https://ibn.fm/BxmPE).

While digital currencies rely on technological infrastructure and constantly compete with each other, gold is a time-tested symbol of stability and wealth preservation—especially during times of crisis and uncertainty. When digital systems falter—such as during black-swan events that halt internet connectivity or when trust is rapidly lost—gold transcends these limitations, offering a reliable store of value when most digital assets may not.

Gold’s resilience has been repeatedly proven throughout history, particularly during unpredictable events that send shockwaves through global markets. Whether in the wake of the Great Depression, the 2008 financial crisis, or during times of geopolitical instability, gold has consistently safeguarded wealth over time. Unlike digital systems and traditional finance, gold operates independently of any system, making it an irreplaceable asset during periods of economic distress.

Bridging the Past and Future: Gold and Crypto

In the modern financial ecosystem, gold’s reliability has a fascinating counterpart in the rise of cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin. Both gold and bitcoin emerged as alternatives to traditional financial systems, appealing to those seeking autonomy and decentralized stores of value. However, while bitcoin represents the promise of the future with its tech-driven approach, it is still relatively young with a history marked by volatility and uncertainty. In fact, most people alive today were born before bitcoin even existed. Gold, in contrast, has withstood centuries of economic and geopolitical upheaval—wars, economic downturns, and technological revolutions—and has earned its reputation as a trusted hedge against inflation and financial instability.

Despite their differences, these two assets can complement each other in a diversified investment portfolio. 

McEwen Mining: A Key Player in the Precious Metals Market

As gold continues to shine as a pillar of stability, investors seeking exposure to the precious metals sector should take a close look at McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX). McEwen Mining combines the traditional value of gold and silver with promising growth prospects, providing a diversified approach for investors. With operations spanning across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina, McEwen Mining stands out as a well-established and diversified player in the mining industry.

In its most recently reported financial results, the company announced a 36% year-over-year revenue increase, reaching $52.3 million—driven by rising gold prices and production growth from its three gold and silver mines (https://ibn.fm/7CGmz).

Exploration and Growth: McEwen Mining’s Expansion Plans

McEwen Mining has a strong commitment to exploration in order to deliver long-term production growth. One of the exciting exploration programs is at its Fox Complex, where the company has large gold resources already. Recent drill results from the Grey Fox project suggest attractive upside potential for both resource expansion and production growth. For example, revealed high-grade gold at the Whiskey Jack zone, with grades reaching 10.2 grams per tonne (“g/t”) over 11.1 meters (https://ibn.fm/DCar3).

Additionally, McEwen Mining has a massive position in copper with its 46.4% stake in McEwen Copper, the developer of the Los Azules project in Argentina. The project is on track to become one of the world’s largest and most sustainable copper mines. Most recently, it has secured an environmental permit for construction and will be completing its Feasibility Study in Q2 2025. With the permit and feasibility study in hand the next step will be to take McEwen Copper public. The proposed mine is being designed to be carbon-neutral by 2038 (https://ibn.fm/MYTsm), utilizing renewable electricity and minimizing water usage. As copper plays an increasingly important role in the global energy transition as well as the infrastructure needs of AI data centers, Los Azules offers strong growth potential for McEwen Mining.

A Complementary Duo for Modern Portfolios

For investors looking to build a diversified portfolio in today’s complex financial landscape, combining precious metals with exposure to growth-oriented resources like copper provides an attractive strategy. Precious metals remain the cornerstone of wealth preservation, especially during times of economic and technological disruption, while copper offers additional diversification and added growth potential. McEwen Mining is uniquely positioned as it provides access to gold and silver through its established mining operations, as well as exposure to copper, a critical resource for technological shifts underway.

With its focus on expanding its production footprint through exploration success, and developing its Los Azules copper project, McEwen Mining is well-positioned for future growth. As global markets become increasingly unpredictable, McEwen Mining offers investors a unique opportunity to align with both the historical strength of precious metals and the forward-looking potential of copper. 

McEwen Mining and the Future of Gold Investment

McEwen Mining is a small, growth oriented, diversified gold and silver producer that offers attractive profit margin leverage to increasing gold and silver prices plus massive exposure to copper, an essential metal for sustaining our modern world.

• Israel-based electronic monitoring tech developer SuperCom is building its presence in the United States and Europe as a go-to solution for criminal justice agencies seeking alternatives to prison and jail crowding through the supervised release of select individuals
• SuperCom recently announced the successful launch of an EM project in Latvia for monitoring domestic violence suspects’ movements
• The project is SuperCom’s third at a national level in Latvia, and its sixth National Domestic Violence Project in Europe
• SuperCom’s PureSecurity platform and services use GPS and RFID technologies in combination with industry-leading wearable bracelet solutions to promote public safety

GPS tracking technology developer SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) continues to expand its operations in Europe, announcing shortly before Christmas that it has successfully launched a new electronic monitoring (“EM”) project in Latvia.

“This project highlights Latvia’s commitment to leveraging advanced monitoring technology to enhance public safety,” SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi stated (https://ibn.fm/d3YGP). “Our PureSecurity EM Suite has become a trusted tool for public safety agencies throughout Europe, empowering them with tailored solutions to meet their goals effectively.”

The PureSecurity platform delivers advanced electronic monitoring solutions and services that criminal justice agencies can use to supervise the movements of legally restricted individuals. Such individuals may include convicted criminals freed on probation or parole, or suspects in domestic violence and substance abuse-related crimes who are awaiting the disposition of their court cases.

By enabling the monitoring of such individuals’ movements, SuperCom makes it possible for government agencies to reduce prison overcrowding and the costs of incarceration. By allowing individuals under arrest to remain at home or to have limited access to activities in their communities, such as employment or educational sites, SuperCom makes it possible to reduce repeat criminal behavior and to promote rehabilitation through positive family, peer and work interactions.

The EM project launched in Latvia to use its GPS tracking devices, secure communications and real-time monitoring capabilities for domestic violence responsiveness, is the third national contract in Latvia and the company’s sixth domestic violence project deployed on a national scale in Europe.

“We won a $32 million project in Romania,” Trabelsi noted in November (https://ibn.fm/6LbIH). “Not only is that a substantial project because Romania’s never done this before — and we’re talking about 15,000 offenders that we would be monitoring at any given point over the course of six years — but it also gives us a strong reference for any other projects around the world of similar size.”

SuperCom won the Latvia contract after a competitive tender process addressing the country’s emerging interest in EM solutions. In November, Latvia’s parliament Saeima approved the final reading of proposed amendments into the Criminal Procedure Law, addressing the use of EM bracelets to monitor an estimated average of domestic violence 400 suspects per year, according to the amendments’ authors (https://ibn.fm/SOTqx).

Latvia’s Ombudsman’s Office announced that there are about a thousand applications for protection against domestic violence every year. The announcement came in a December follow-up report addressing shortcomings in the nation’s response to such crimes, primarily in the lack of cooperation between agencies. “Cooperation must be improved, cooperation between police and courts, cooperation between police, social services, and so on, involving absolutely all cooperation partners, bringing them to the same table,” spokesperson for the State Police Iveta Valaine said (https://ibn.fm/HD5OU).

The use of successful technologies like SuperCom’s EM system is helping to improve the collaboration between government agencies and their ability to effectively serve their citizens in the modern era (https://ibn.fm/qRetV).

• Brera Holdings, an Ireland-based, international holding company with a global portfolio of men’s and women’s sports clubs, announced its initial closing through the successful signing of an SPA, the first step in a three-step process to acquire a majority equity ownership interest in SS Juve Stabia srl
• The SPA, executed on Dec. 31, 2024, secures Brera Holdings’ initial 22% ownership stake and outlines provisions for incremental ownership increases, culminating in a 52% majority stake by March 31, 2025
• This acquisition underscores Brera Holdings’ commitment to scaling its multi-club ownership (“MCO”) model, which includes both football and volleyball teams across Europe, Asia and Africa
• It also highlights the company’s focus on enhancing revenue growth and creating long-term shareholder value

Brera Holdings PLC (NASDAQ: BREA), an Ireland-based, international holding company dedicated to expanding its global portfolio of men’s and women’s sports clubs through a multi-club ownership (“MCO”) approach, announced on Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024, the signing of an SPA as the foundation for acquiring a majority required ownership interest in SS Juve Stabia srl, an Italian Serie B football club, which will be conducted in a three-step process. This follows an earlier-announced binding term sheet on Dec. 9, 2024, which marked a significant expansion of the company’s MCO model (https://ibn.fm/7DWtZ).

“With Serie B’s expanding commercial prospects, Juve Stabia offers a compelling opportunity for growth,” noted Daniel McClory, Brera Holdings’ Executive Chairman. “We are excited to partner with local management and invest in this historic team to capitalize on player trading opportunities, potentially secure a position in the Serie B playoffs, and ultimately pursue promotion to Serie A over the next several seasons, all of which could augment Club revenue and unlock further value for our investors,” he added (https://ibn.fm/7DWtZ).

Juve Stabia has a rich history, particularly given its reputation as “The Second Team of Naples.” Its heritage spans 117 years, and the Club continues to showcase its competitive strength, currently ranked in fifth place in the Serie B table with 29 points. The top six teams in Serie B at the end of the regular season in early May 2025 qualify for the playoffs and potential promotion to Serie A.

The first of the three steps in Brera’s acquisition transaction, which closed on Dec. 31, 2024, involves cash payments and issuances of Brera’s shares, allowing for continuity in Club management. Once the three-step process is concluded over the coming months, Brera Holdings will increase its current 22% equity stake to 38%, and eventually ~52% ownership of the Club, making it the majority shareholder (https://ibn.fm/7DWtZ).

There are also SPA provisions for milestone-based compensation to Mr. Andrea Langella, the current majority owner of the Club. The compensation will be tied to qualification for the Serie B promotion playoffs, and promotion to Serie A. For Brera Holdings, these incentives align with its interests in Juve Stabia’s competitive success, encouraging and reinforcing a focus on sporting excellence.

The last of the three steps, as already agreed in the executed SPA, will cover the transaction’s final closing and Brera’s majority control. This is set to close on March 31, 2025, and enable further integration of Juve Stabia into its multi-club framework. 

For Brera Holdings, this move underscores its commitment to scaling its MCO model. So far, it has football and volleyball teams across Europe, Asia and Africa. Its acquisition of Juve Stabia speaks to the company’s ambitions to become a leading player in the sports-as-an-asset-class investment space, along with its commitment to enhancing revenue growth and creating long-term value for its shareholders.

The upcoming Microcap Conference 2025 promises to be a defining moment for the microcap investment community. Taking place from January 28-30, 2025, at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, this year’s event highlights the growing relevance of the microcap sector in today’s market landscape while showcasing DealFlow Events’ commitment to excellence.

The conference, known as the largest independent event of its kind in the United States, will feature over 100 growth companies and bring together more than 500 investors. Attendees can expect a packed agenda, including keynote speeches from industry luminaries like Tom Gardner, CEO of The Motley Fool, and Jon Ledecky, co-owner of the New York Islanders. Plus, there will be dynamic panels led by financial commentators Ron Insana of CNBC and Charlie Gasparino of FOX Business Network. Beyond the formal sessions, attendees will also enjoy exclusive entertainment, such as a private comedy performance by Tom Papa.

The microcap sector has experienced a surge in interest. According to Financial Times, penny stocks recently accounted for seven of the top ten most-traded U.S. equities, reflecting a speculative appetite among retail investors. This resurgence comes amidst broader market volatility, as investors increasingly seek opportunities for higher returns outside traditional large-cap stocks.

Historically, microcap equities have been strong performers, outpacing large-cap equities over the long term. According to data from Meketa, microcap equities have delivered superior returns since 1926, making them a critical component of diversified investment portfolios. However, these investments come with higher risks, making due diligence and informed decision-making essential—key areas where DealFlow Events’ Microcap Conference can provide value.

Unlike many conferences that rely on pay-to-play admission models, DealFlow Events has emphasized quality over quantity. The Microcap Conference uses a participant-fee structure, ensuring that only companies with substantial value propositions are featured. This approach fosters an environment conducive to meaningful discussions and connections, whether through one-on-one meetings, company presentations, or informal networking opportunities.

In addition to showcasing the latest innovations across industries, the conference will dive into timely topics like navigating inflationary pressures, understanding emerging market trends, and leveraging new technologies in the microcap space.

For investors, executives and analysts alike, the Microcap Conference 2025 represents an unparalleled opportunity to explore the microcap market’s potential and challenges in depth.

As competition in the AI chips segment stiffens, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) is looking to dominate the emerging AI robotics space. This company, currently valued at approximately $3.3 trillion, helped to launch the meteoric rise of AI and it now wants to market compact computers specifically for humanoid robots. The new crop of computers from Nvidia, referred to as Jetson Thor, is planned to hit the market in early 2025.

This new development came to light in a report carried by the Financial Times. Nvidia plans to be the go-to platform when the humanoid robotics race gets underway.

Nvidia’s VP in charge of Robotics, Deepu Talla, revealed to the FT that the market for robotics was close to “a tipping point” and that “a ChatGPT moment” for robotics and physical artificial intelligence was moments away.

Nvidia’s market share has been coming under increasing pressure from other AI chip manufacturers like AMD. Cloud computing giants like Amazon and Google have also thrown their hats in the AI chips ring, which could further undercut Nvidia’s dominance. Consequently, Nvidia is taking the proactive step of investing heavily in its robotics division so that it gets the first-mover advantage there in just the same way that it positioned itself to dominate the AI chips industry long before AI was a big thing.

For example, Nvidia joined OpenAI and Microsoft during a funding round for humanoid robotics company Figure AI, which saw the startup catapult to a $2.6b valuation.

Nvidia didn’t provide any figures for its robotics business, but it is generally understood that the firm currently earns a tiny fraction of its revenue from robotics. In contrast, the company’s revenue from data centers accounted for a whopping 88% of the sales that Nvidia revealed in its third quarter financial earnings reports.

The chip-maker’s focus on humanoid robotics isn’t the only development in this space. Researchers at MIT unveiled a development-stage AI system that would enable warehouse robots to attain an unprecedented deftness in handling odd-shaped items. The system also makes it possible for the robots to maneuver within crowded warehouse spaces without exposing human employees to any risk.

This ground-breaking development comes at a time when the surging growth in e-commerce is placing logistics and retail businesses under immense pressure to automate their operations. MIT’s system, dubbed PRoC3S, promises to provide a scalable solution to the challenge of automating e-commerce package handling.

The emerging field of humanoid AI robots creates yet more demand for AI software and the attendant hardware, such as computer chips. The gold and copper extracted by companies like McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) is set to see increasing demand as these additional AI use-cases gobble up these metals.

• The small Mediterranean island nation of Malta is in the process of joining other governments in launching an electronic monitoring (“EM”) solution for supervising parolees and suspects subject to restraining orders to ensure public safety
• EM offender tracking, when technically advanced and properly applied, is now regarded as an important low-cost alternative to expensive incarceration by many criminal justice systems, with growing use worldwide
• Israel-based SuperCom is an electronic monitoring technology developer working with an increasing number of criminal justice systems to deploy its PureSecurity Suite advanced EM solutions as a means of protecting society and potential victims, such as those subject to threats from domestic violence
• SuperCom’s competitive platform also has the potential to fulfill a rehabilitative purpose by reducing criminal recidivism and helping supervised individuals to return productively to work, school or family interaction

GPS tracking technology developer SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) is helping improve public safety by building and deploying an electronic platform and monitoring service for criminal justice agencies that helps ensure that qualifying offenders and supervised suspects remain under monitored activity without the heavy expense of incarceration.  

SuperCom’s GPS and RFID-enabled electronic monitoring (“EM”) devices represent significant improvements over legacy solutions used by many judicial systems and can provide superior remote supervision of enrolled individuals under house arrest or limited movement. They can monitor not only their physical location on a map grid but also their elevation within a building at a particular grid point. 

The SuperCom “PureOne” bracelet solution is waterproof and has a battery life of up to one year, unlike other companies’ products that require daily recharging to remain functional. Its sleek design as part of SuperCom’s PureSecurity suite is a major improvement over bulky ankle monitors worn in other programs, allowing monitored individuals to better function at work or school. 

The expanding use of EM tracking worldwide is creating a growing market for SuperCom’s technology. The small Mediterranean island nation of Malta (population of half a million people) is one of the latest governments investigating EM — parliamentary action this month has been advancing a bill years in the making, incorporating recommendations from a public review process as the legislation nears the finish line (https://ibn.fm/skCU4).  

Proponents of Malta’s legislation have celebrated its potential for protecting victims of crimes — 250,000 reported during the 17 years since such technology was first considered (https://ibn.fm/8znZO). Recent changes to the bill have provided extra measures to prevent further harm to potential victims, such as in domestic violence or other restraining order situations, by allowing victimized individuals to choose monitoring or an alert system for their personal safety (https://ibn.fm/IA0RX). 

SuperCom’s tech platform provides victim notification alerts through smartphone interactivity, helping individuals to take action to protect themselves from an offender who may be breaching boundaries while also notifying law enforcement authorities about the concern. 

“Our solutions create positive social impact and improve public safety worldwide. That is a fact,” SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi said during a presentation of his company’s achievements last October at the LD Micro 17th Annual invitational micro-cap conference (https://ibn.fm/ksbnV). 

As the company continues to add new contracts to its existing client list, with a focus on domestic violence monitoring and prevention, Trabelsi noted in his report on the Q3 financial statement that SuperCom’s gross profit margin has grown to 50.1% over the same period in the prior year. The company’s EBITDA grew from $3.7 million to $4.6 million YOY in the first 9 months of the year (https://ibn.fm/HcFvx). 

“Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing our strategy by delivering cutting-edge solutions, deepening relationships with existing clients, and entering new markets,” Trabelsi stated.
