Quantum computing is often seen as a risk to bitcoin. Now Trump wants to develop it. - CoinDesk

The Trump administration's push to accelerate US quantum computing development increases policy-driven momentum behind a technology that could eventually break the asymmetric cryptography underpinning Bitcoin (notably ECDSA and exposed on‑chain public keys). Large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers remain uncertain and likely years away, so near‑term risk to Bitcoin is limited, but the announcement raises urgency for the ecosystem to prioritize post‑quantum migration planning, immediate key hygiene, and monitoring of quantum capability advances. Market-sensitive watch: accelerated national investment may compress timelines and increase likelihood of regulatory or funding shifts that affect crypto security roadmaps.
