  • Glassnode: Nearly $500B Bitcoin at Risk from Future Quantum Computing Attacks
    May 21, 2026, 9:14 PM EDT. Blockchain analytics firm Glassnode reports over $469 billion in Bitcoin-30.2% of issued supply-is vulnerable to future quantum computer attacks due to public key exposure on-chain. This exposure arises from structural designs that inherently reveal public keys and from operational practices like address reuse. Structural exposure accounts for 1.92 million BTC, while operational exposure totals 4.12 million BTC. Exchanges hold roughly 40% of operationally exposed Bitcoin, though risk varies by platform. The threat involves Shor's algorithm, which quantum computers could use to derive private keys from public keys, enabling theft without transactions. Coinbase's holdings show minimal exposure at 5%, illustrating mixed security practices across exchanges. The findings underscore ongoing risks to Bitcoin security as quantum computing advances.
