BitGo CEO: About 30% of Bitcoin UTXOs Exposed to Quantum Risk

  • —About 30% of Bitcoin UTXOs are held on addresses with exposed public keys
  • —BitGo CEO Mike Belshe called it Bitcoin's key quantum vulnerability
  • —Belshe said the issue can be mitigated today
  • —The warning concerns protecting funds before powerful quantum computers emerge
Why it matters: If the quantum threat is real, wallets and custodians may need to move to post-quantum schemes, or a large share of BTC supply could be at risk.
