Glassnode: 604 ten thousand Bitcoin public keys exposed, facing quantum computing risks
Blockchain data firm Glassnode released a research report on May 22 confirming that in Bitcoin’s circulating supply there are 6.04 million publicly exposed public keys (over $469 billion in marketcap). In theory, if a sufficiently powerful quantum computer emerges, it could use the Shor algorithm to derive private keys from known public keys, putting the related holdings at risk of being stolen; the remaining 13.99 million BTC have not shown public key exposure. Two types of technical exposure:
