Anthropic says Claude found a serious flaw in HAWK, a post-quantum signature candidate, trimming its security margin but not affecting Bitcoin or Ethereum. The bigger takeaway: AI is becoming a real cryptanalysis tool, and Bitcoin’s post-quantum migration is getting harder to ignore.

Samson Mow says Bitcoin shouldn’t rush into post-quantum signatures, warning that a premature upgrade could create more immediate vulnerabilities than quantum computers ever do. Anthropic’s new AI crypto research adds urgency — and a healthy dose of caution.

Coinbase says quantum computing isn’t an immediate threat to Bitcoin, but it’s pushing the industry to prepare anyway. A new Bitcoin Security Consortium will coordinate post-quantum planning, from protocol research to stronger key management, before the problem stops being theoretical.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says quantum computing is a real long-term threat to Bitcoin’s cryptography, not sci-fi hype, and Coinbase is preparing for post-quantum security now. The risk isn’t an instant network collapse — but waiting until the last minute could be a clown show.

BIP-361 puts Bitcoin’s quantum dilemma on a clock, proposing a staged move to quantum-safe wallet security before today’s signature schemes become a real target. The plan aims to reduce future theft risk, but it also raises ugly questions about coordination, deadlines, and old coins.

Nine Bitcoin-linked firms have formed a $15 million consortium to fund quantum-resistant research, with post-quantum cryptography as the first priority. Bitcoin isn’t broken today, but the group says preparing for a long-term cryptographic threat beats waiting for a nasty surprise.

Bitcoin Faces Quantum Risk as Coinbase Council Warns of 7 Million BTC Exposure Bitcoin’s long-term threat may not be a regulator, a rival chain, or some influencer’s latest moon-boy nonsense. It may be quantum computing — a future machine class that could one day crack today’s cryptography and turn old BTC ownership rules into a […]
