Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor downplays concerns about the impact of quantum computing on Bitcoin, calling it a marketing strategy to pump quantum brand tokens.
Strategy Executive Chairman: “Mainly marketing for people who want to sell you the next Quantum yo-yo token explain In an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on June 6.
The potential impact of quantum computing on Bitcoin has been labeled as a major threat to Bitcoin’s security.
According to the project of Quantum Computing Research Company, there are 10 million Bitcoin addresses Exposed public keys More than 6 million Bitcoins There may be risks If the machine becomes powerful enough, it can be cracked for Bitcoin Elliptic Curve Password (ECC) keys.
But even if the tech giants have a legitimate quantum computing threat, they won’t release it, as doing so could put their business and even the U.S. government at risk.
“Google and Microsoft won’t sell you computers that crack modern cryptography because it will destroy Google and Microsoft, as well as the U.S. government and banking systems.”

Says Bitcoin only needs to be upgraded
Saylor said that if legitimate quantum computers do emerge and threaten Bitcoin’s security, the core developers and hardware manufacturers of the protocol will implement the solution, Saylor said:
“The answer is: Bitcoin network hardware upgrade, Bitcoin network software upgrade, just like Microsoft, Google, the US government upgrade.
“We just need to upgrade the software.”

Saylor added that the possibility of someone losing Bitcoin is Phishing Attacks Not quantum computing.
Saylor added: “This is the hardest thing in the universe, and they will crack your banking system, your Google account, your Microsoft account, and everything else because they are orders of magnitude weak.”
Quantum’s threat to Bitcoin has been tested
Project 11 A match started In April, see who can crack it Bitcoin Key Next year, quantum computers will be used.
The 11th project stated that the purpose of the “Q-Day Award” is to test that the “emergency threat” of quantum coins is against Bitcoin and to find solutions to quantum weight to ensure that Bitcoin is secured in the long term.
IBM, Google’s quantum computers are still threatening Bitcoin
Current estimates suggest that approximately 2,000 logical qubits (error correction) are enough to break the full 256-bit ECC bitcoin key, item 11 notes.
IBM’s Heron chips and Google’s Willow can currently do 156 QUAT and 105 QUAT–far-demand any real threat to Bitcoin, but It’s enough to attract attention, The 11th item said.
