Quantum Resistance And Coding For A Post Quantum Bitcoin Although the scale and fault tolerance of quantum computers make such achievements not yet available, research is progressing rapidly enough that the future of bitcoin is sooner, not later, post quantum. A september 2025 preprint (“hybrid post quantum signatures for bitcoin and ethereum”) proposes signing transactions with both ecdsa and a pqc scheme during a transitional period.
Quantum Computing Risks To Cryptocurrencies Bitcoin Ethereum And Beyond As long as this progression is followed and is possible to publicly track, it’s likely bitcoin can continue using its currently highly space efficient cryptography while it remains safe, and then upgrade to post quantum cryptography when it looks like it’ll soon become necessary. Toward protocol level quantum safety in bitcoin a formal, adversarial, and invariant driven treatment of what it actually takes to make bitcoin quantum safe at the consensus level — not at the wallet level, not at the "just use a post quantum signature" level, but at the level where it matters: the state machine. A comprehensive technical and political analysis of bitcoin's post quantum cryptography transition — the proposals, the algorithms, the threat model, and the explosive question of what happens to satoshi's coins. Bitcoin’s signatures are broken if a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (crqc) were to appear tomorrow. bitcoin requires changes both to its code and to everyone’s wallets (at least a soft fork and many users moving coins to different types of addresses) to be secure in the presence of a crqc.
Bitcoin Quantum Testnet Validates 70b Institutional Quantum Risk Concerns A comprehensive technical and political analysis of bitcoin's post quantum cryptography transition — the proposals, the algorithms, the threat model, and the explosive question of what happens to satoshi's coins.

The bitcoin network took its first step towards quantum computing resistance with the addition of bip 360 to its repository. In a latest attempt to save bitcoin from quantum threat, avihu levy, chief product officer at starkware and co author of the recently merged bip 360 quantum resistant address proposal, published a research paper and open source code for quantum safe bitcoin (qsb). Btq technologies announced the demonstration of a quantum resistant bitcoin implementation using nist standardized pqc. The most significant quantum threat to bitcoin, as an attacker can use a quantum derived private key to steal bitcoin by creating and broadcasting a valid transaction that spends the victim’s utxos to an address they control.
