  • Bitcoin proposal allows Satoshi Nakamoto to prove control without moving coins
    May 2, 2026, 7:50 PM EDT. Bitcoin's quantum computing risks threaten millions of bitcoins in old wallets, including the 1.1 million coins linked to creator Satoshi Nakamoto, worth about $84 billion. A proposed soft fork that phases out vulnerable addresses could force holders to move funds to safer types but risks exposing dormant wallets. Dan Robinson from Paradigm suggested Provable Address-Control Timestamps (PACTs), allowing owners to prove wallet control via cryptographic commitments without spending coins or revealing identity. PACTs use BIP-322 signing and OpenTimestamps for secure proof, enabling a future rescue mechanism through STARK zero-knowledge proofs resistant to quantum attacks. This system requires new Bitcoin protocol upgrades and consensus, offering a path to protect dormant funds without public exposure until spending is necessary.
