A new discussion is growing after Charles Hoskinson pointed out that up to 2 million $BTC ‌ could be at risk in the future due to quantum computing.



The concern focuses on early wallets, including those linked to Satoshi Nakamoto, where public keys are already exposed.

If quantum technology becomes powerful enough, these older addresses could be easier to break, putting a large amount of long-unused BTC in focus.

This is not an immediate threat, but it is pushing developers to think ahead. Work is already ongoing to upgrade Bitcoin's security with quantum-resistant solutions and safer address formats. Some ideas even include dealing with inactive coins to avoid future risks.
