Over $500B in Bitcoin is at risk as 31.2% of BTC supply has exposed public keys amid AI cryptography fears.

Glassnode reports that 6.26 million BTC, or 31.2% of total Bitcoin supply, now sits in addresses with exposed public keys, up from 24.8% in early 2021. This exposure mainly results from address reuse and older script types, including significant holdings by exchanges and early Bitcoin addresses linked to Satoshi Nakamoto. The concern arises from AI advancements potentially breaking Bitcoin's cryptographic security faster than expected, though experts like Vitalik Buterin advise against panic moves to new wallets due to risks of losing funds in rushed migrations. The situation highlights growing security challenges as AI accelerates cryptographic threats, but immediate action is cautioned against by key figures.

Bitcoin security concerns are highlighted by Glassnode's report on exposed keys. For readers following major cryptocurrencies, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Oct 09, 2026 16:21 WIB: out of 50 major cryptocurrencies, 12 rose and 37 fell.
