Michael Saylor Claims Quantum Computing Will Enhance Bitcoin Security

Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy Inc., believes quantum computing will enhance Bitcoin's security, contrary to popular opinion that it may pose a threat. He argues that the technology will strengthen Bitcoin by increasing network security and reducing supply.

  • Google's introduction of the Willow quantum chip intensified debates about quantum computing's impact on Bitcoin.
  • Craig Gidney from Google Quantum AI suggested that quantum computers could potentially break encryption similar to Bitcoin's.
  • Some experts disagree with this view, believing quantum computers are not yet advanced enough to threaten Bitcoin.
  • Analyst Willy Woo noted some risk to older coins held in pay-to-public-key (P2PK) addresses.

Grayscale Investment supports Saylor's stance, asserting that quantum computing won't affect crypto valuations soon. They expect structural shifts in digital asset investing in 2026, which could drive Bitcoin to a new all-time high with increased demand for alternative value stores and regulatory clarity.
