- It explicitly says that adversaries may already be collecting encrypted U.
- The fix, according to the order, is a hard post quantum cryptography (PQC) migration timeline.

Key claims in source B
- 30.2% of all issued Bitcoin — roughly 6.04 million BTC worth approximately $469 billion — already has its public key visible on-chain.
- Still, breaking Bitcoin’s elliptic curve cryptography would require approximately 2,330 logical qubits and tens of millions of quantum gates — hardware that doesn’t yet exist, according to an ARK Invest analysis cited i…
- But “not yet” and “never” are very different things, and Glassnode’s report is essentially a clock that’s already running.
- A new Glassnode report published May 20, 2026, gives us the most detailed map yet of where Bitcoin already sits in quantum’s crosshairs.

emotional language
The Bitcoin quantum computing threat, it turns out, isn’t a future problem for all coins equally — roughly 30% of the entire supply is already exposed right now, and the biggest vulnerabili…
Emotionally loaded wording that may amplify audience reaction.
-
evaluative label
There’s a private key — only the owner holds it — and a public key, which sits visible on the blockchain and lets the network verify that a transaction is legitimate.
Evaluative labeling that nudges a normative interpretation.
-
causal claim
Understanding the difference matters because only one of them requires touching Bitcoin’s core protocol to fix.
Cause-effect claim shaping how events are explained.
