  • Bitcoin Faces Quantum Threat to Ownership, Not Mining - New Math Vulnerability
    April 25, 2026, 8:11 AM EDT. Quantum computing poses a risk to Bitcoin ownership, not the mining process or ledger integrity. Mining relies on hashing, which quantum machines cannot break effectively. Ownership relies on private keys turned into public addresses through one-way math. A quantum algorithm named Shor's could reverse this process, exposing private keys from public addresses visible on the blockchain. About 6.9 million bitcoins, one-third of the total supply, are stored in wallets with vulnerable public keys. The Taproot upgrade, improving efficiency and privacy, unintentionally made keys from spent addresses visible, expanding the attack surface. Bitcoin faces pressure to coordinate a major security upgrade before quantum hardware catches up.
