A new report from CoinShares confirms that the "quantum threat" to Bitcoin is largely sensationalized. Research shows that only about 10,200 BTC—less than 0.05% of the total supplyis realistically vulnerable, and even that would require quantum hardware roughly 100,000 times more powerful than anything currently in existence.
While headlines often predict a cryptographic apocalypse, experts believe practical attacks are at least a decade away, giving developers ample time to integrate post-quantum security layers.
This clarity arrives at a wild time; the extreme market volatility of 2025-2026 has some comparing current fluctuations to the 1929 Great Depression, yet Bitcoin remains the ultimate high-speed lifeboat. Even if the ride feels like a circus, the math says the network is a fortress.
