Here is what the page “Over 6 Million Bitcoin Behind Exposed Public Keys as AI Threats to Wallet Security Grow” contains. More than 6 million bitcoin now sit behind public keys that are exposed on-chain, according to recent data from Glassnode co-founder Rafael Schultze-Kraft. This growing exposure comes as Ethereum researcher Justin Drake warns that the crypto industry must prepare for potential AI-driven attacks on wallet cryptography. The concerns center on the possibility that advanced artificial intelligence could eventually break the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) used by Bitcoin and other blockchains, potentially putting funds at risk if public keys are known.
Schultze-Kraft's figures highlight the scale of the issue: millions of coins are held in addresses where the public key has been revealed, often due to spending transactions or signature messages. While current AI is far from breaking ECDSA, experts argue that long-term holders should consider migrating to unused addresses to reduce exposure.
