Michael Saylor Downplays Quantum Threat to Bitcoin, Says Security Upgrade Will Come When Necessary

Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), believes that quantum computing does not represent the greatest security threat to Bitcoin at present. He thinks that the broader cybersecurity community agrees that any meaningful quantum-related risk remains at least a decade away. Saylor also downplayed fears of Bitcoin facing isolated vulnerability, noting that major corporations, financial institutions, and governments worldwide rely on digital systems that would face similar exposure in the event of a credible quantum breakthrough.
