CoinTelegraphFeb 9, 2026 • 1:19 AM2 views A recent CoinShares report suggests that while a small fraction of Bitcoin, specifically under 10,000 coins held in smaller wallets, faces theoretical quantum computing vulnerability, the practical risk remains negligible.

The analysis indicates it could take up to a millennium to compromise a single vulnerable wallet with current hypothetical quantum technology, far outweighing the potential gains and justifying the immense cost of such an attack. The report contextualizes the threat, emphasizing that the state of quantum computing is nascent and the Bitcoin network's security is robust. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
