Bitcoin quantum threat response Update 6 of 10
Galaxy Funds Bitcoin Quantum Defense
Galaxy Commits $5 Million in Developer Grants to Bitcoin Quantum Security as Project Eleven Recovery Tool Confirmed Feasible Growing quantum computing capability is forcing Bitcoin and crypto industry players to urgently develop and fund post-quantum cryptographic defenses.
Galaxy Digital announced a Bitcoin quantum computing security initiative with up to $5 million in developer grants, with Galaxy's stock rising 7.4% on the announcement. A separate practical quantum recovery solution for Bitcoin wallets was confirmed feasible, though Satoshi Nakamoto's approximately 1.1 million BTC held in early-format wallets remains outside its protection scope. Claude's AI system separately solved an 87-year-old mathematical problem with reported implications for cryptography relevant to Bitcoin security.
