Bitcoin Faces Urgent Quantum Risk as 25% of Supply Exposed
Bitcoin’s long-assumed 20-year safety window against quantum computing is collapsing. Roughly 4 million BTC, around 25% of all usable supply, are held in wallets that expose public keys to quantum attacks, according to Deloitte’s January 2026 report. If attackers use Shor’s algorithm on a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, private keys could be derived instantly, putting dormant wallets at risk and threatening market stability. Technologica…
