Quantum Computers Unlikely to Target Bitcoin, Taurus Report Finds

A report from Swiss custody firm Taurus suggests that a quantum computer capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography would not be used to steal it, as the price would collapse before any theft could settle on-chain. According to BeInCrypto, the report challenges the typical quantum doomsday narrative, indicating that the real threat lies elsewhere. While a quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm could theoretically recover private keys, the market reaction would deter such attacks. The report emphasizes the importance of crypto-agility and highlights the need for action rather than panic.
