Quantum Computing Threat to Bitcoin (BTC): Charles Edwards Flags China Lead, 3–5-Year Break Risk — Actionable Trading Playbook
According to @caprioleio, a cited report claims China may be concealing more advanced quantum-computing capabilities than the U.S., and that U.S. firms could break Bitcoin cryptography within 3–5 years, elevating tail-risk for BTC security and price. Source: Charles Edwards post on X dated Jan 5, 2026. Bitcoin relies on ECDSA (secp256k1) for transaction signatures, which is theoretically vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm if a cryptographically relevant quantum computer emerges, creating key-theft risk once public keys are revealed on-chain. Source: NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography program overview and Bitcoin.org Developer Guide. U.S. authorities publicly state there is no known cryptanalytically relevant quantum computer as of the latest published guidance, while migration to post-quantum standards has begun via NIST selections such as Kyber and Dilithium. Source: NSA CNSA 2.0 guidance (2022) and NIST PQC standardization updates (2022–2024). Trading takeaways: monitor credible quantum milestones from national labs and major vendors, track Bitcoin Core community discussions on post-quantum signatures, and watch on-chain movement of UTXOs with exposed public keys as early signals of rising quantum risk premia.
