Researchers using AI agents have reduced the quantum computing resources needed for a key Bitcoin cryptographic process by 86.1%, focusing on secp256k1 point-addition optimization. This improvement does not mean Bitcoin has been hacked but signals that future fault-tolerant quantum computers could threaten Bitcoin's security. Current estimates suggest a full quantum attack on Bitcoin's private keys would require over 1,400 logical qubits and millions of quantum gates, with about 30% of Bitcoin supply already exposed through public keys. Developers are urged to plan for post-quantum security measures, such as BIP 360, to mitigate these risks before quantum computers become practical.
