Rapid progress in quantum computing has intensified debate over the long-term security of digital assets, as quantum machines can tackle specific problems at dramatically faster rates. Accordingly, one of the most important questions raised by the advancements in the sector is: Will quantum computers break Bitcoin (BTC)?
In theory, a sufficiently advanced quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm, which solves the prime factorization problem in polynomial time, could undermine elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) by deriving private keys from public keys within hours.
Last year, experts estimated that such a scenario could become reality within the next decade. Earlier this year, Jefferies eliminated its Bitcoin position due to quantum computing threats in early 2026, showing just how weighty the discussion had become.
To assess the situation from another angle, Finbold turned to OpenAI’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) model, ChatGPT-5.5, asking when Bitcoin quan
