About 1.7 million Bitcoin are estimated to be at risk due to exposure of public keys in an older Bitcoin format called pay-to-public-key (P2PK), which could be vulnerable if future quantum computers can derive private keys from those public keys. Currently, no quantum computer can perform this attack, but the risk highlights the need for quantum-resistant security measures. Wallet provider BitGo has introduced controls to help users manage exposed Bitcoin, and a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal aims to phase out vulnerable signatures, though it is still in draft form.
