Bitcoin Quantum Security Consortium Forms
BlackRock and Strategy Form Bitcoin Security Consortium to Address Quantum Computing Risk
Growing quantum computing capabilities are forcing Bitcoin and the broader crypto industry to urgently plan and implement post-quantum cryptographic defenses.
BlackRock and Michael Saylor's Strategy formally established the Bitcoin Security Consortium to fund development of quantum-resistant Bitcoin cryptography. The consortium, previously reported as a 15-institution alliance pledging $15 million over three years, expands the post-quantum development effort documented in prior periods that also included Coinbase building post-quantum custody infrastructure.
