Is quantum computing threatening Bitcoin sooner than expected? On Wednesday, Microsoft unveiled its first quantum computing chip, dubbed “Majorana 1.” While the tech community has long speculated about Google’s next-generation quantum effort—often referred to as “Willow”—Microsoft’s announcement places renewed focus on the looming question: Can Bitcoin survive the accelerated push toward million-qubit machines? Microsoft claims […]
Quantum computing might be closer than we thought, thanks to a series of newly developed scientific methods. Furthermore, a new implementation of Shor’s algorithm increases the urgency of getting Bitcoin ready for the advent of quantum computing. Quantum Computing Breakthroughs. At present, Bitcoin is obviously resistant to all known types of....
Google’s quantum team says its Willow processor ran a new algorithm called Quantum Echoes that solved a molecular-simulation task roughly 13,000× faster than the best classical methods on top supercomputers. Based on reports, the run is being presented as a verifiable quantum advantage and was published alongside technical notes from Google. Related Reading: Diddy Strikes […]
Quantum risk has become a recurring stress point in Bitcoin discourse, often framed as an existential threat. The claim usually follows a familiar arc: quantum computing is advancing quickly, cryptography is vulnerable, and Bitcoin isn’t adapting fast enough. Marty Bent doesn’t buy that framing. In his Dec. 14 episode, Bent acknowledged that quantum computing represents […]
Quantum risk has been getting louder in the Bitcoin conversation over the past few months. The question is whether that noise translates into price pressure in 2026. Grayscale’s answer, in its updated 2026 Digital Asset Outlook: “Dawn of the Institutional Era” (last updated Dec. 15), is essentially no. Quantum belongs on the risk register and […]
