The post Google Quantum Computing Warns 6.9 Million Bitcoin Could Be at Risk appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Google’s latest Quantum AI research has raised concerns about Bitcoin’s long-term security, warning that around 6.9 million BTC could become vulnerable when quantum computers grow powerful enough. The report highlights risks tied to exposed public keys and suggests the timeline for potential attacks may be shorter than previously expected.
