IBM sells AI software and services directly, and it is placed in AI infrastructure software for that reason; its quantum program, linked to classical high-performance computing through partnerships such as its quantum-centric supercomputing plan with AMD, is why it is also a QTUM ETF holding.

Charges enterprises and governments for software subscriptions and licenses, consulting services, infrastructure hardware such as mainframes, and access to its quantum computers.
