BlackRock, Coinbase, Strategy in group pledging $15 million to prepare Bitcoin for quantum threats
COINDESK ·
Galaxy this week launched a separate $5 million initiative for quantum-resistant signatures, wallet migration tools and security audits. The consortium did not say whether that commitment is included in the $15 million total. Quantum computers capable of breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography do not currently exist. Developers have started working on potential defenses, however, partly as agreeing on and deploying changes across wallets, exchanges, miners and users could take years. Proposals include BIP 360 , which would introduce a new output type designed to limit the exposure of public keys. Other approaches under discussion include post-quantum signature schemes and ways to address coins held in older, already exposed addresses. Roughly 6.9 million bitcoin could be vulnerable if sufficiently powerful quantum computers emerge, according to CryptoQuant research . Any response would require technical changes and coordination across Bitcoin’s decentralized network. Mike Schmidt, executive director of Bitcoin developer funding nonprofit Brink, will coordinate the consortium’s work on a volunteer basis.
