US invests $215M to advance quantum computing, posing future risks to Bitcoin's cryptography.

The US Department of Energy is investing up to $215 million to accelerate the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers capable of hundreds of logical qubits by 2028. While current quantum computers cannot break Bitcoin's cryptography, advances in quantum computing combined with AI-driven mathematical research could eventually threaten Bitcoin's security by exposing private keys. Researchers warn this threat, though still distant, is real and urge Bitcoin holders to adopt safer address types and prepare for post-quantum cryptography upgrades. Several proposals and institutional efforts are underway to enhance Bitcoin's quantum resistance before the technology matures.

Bitcoin's quantum computing threat is the subject, with Pluang market data offering context for readers. As of Oct 09, 2026 20:32 WIB, out of 50 major cryptocurrencies on Pluang, 15 rose and 34 fell.
