Quantum computers could eventually break Bitcoin's elliptic-curve cryptography, risking wallet theft—a scenario called "Q-Day." While no such quantum computer exists yet, the threat timeline is shrinking, prompting advances in three defense areas: quantum-safe transactions under current rules, protocol upgrades like soft forks, and custody-layer protections.

Although Q-Day remains hypothetical and years away, the industry is actively preparing by reducing defense costs and assessing the threat's pace.
