New research from quantum computing firm Alice & Bob estimates that a quantum computer with about 29,588 physical qubits could break Bitcoin's elliptic-curve cryptography in roughly one hour. This cryptography secures Bitcoin transactions, so such a breakthrough could expose millions of BTC to theft if quantum-resistant protections aren't developed soon. The study also shows significant reductions in resources needed for breaking RSA-2048 encryption, highlighting faster progress in quantum computing capabilities. While practical quantum attacks remain a future challenge, the findings increase urgency for Bitcoin developers to adopt quantum-resistant security measures before powerful quantum computers become available.
