A coalition of nine blockchain organizations called the Quantum Alliance has launched to create security standards protecting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from potential future quantum computer attacks. About 6.4 million BTC, including 1.1 million linked to Bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto, could be vulnerable once quantum computers become powerful enough to break current cryptographic protections. Although such quantum computers do not yet exist, recent advances by Google and others suggest the threat could emerge by 2028 or later. The Alliance aims to establish common tests and migration guidelines to safeguard wallets and blockchain infrastructure before the risk becomes real.
