As of October 2026, over 6.26 million BTC (31.2% of circulating supply) are held in addresses with exposed public keys, up 222,000 BTC since May. This growth outpaces Bitcoin's new supply increase, indicating more coins are moving into publicly visible states rather than just new coins being created. Exchanges are the main contributors, adding 123,000 BTC to exposed balances, with Binance and Robinhood showing particularly high exposure rates. This trend raises security concerns amid growing quantum computing threats, as exposed public keys could be vulnerable to future attacks. Exchanges can reduce risk by migrating reserves to new addresses, but the rising exposure highlights the need for improved security practices.
