Quantum tech company BTQ Technologies released a new paper stating that the short-term real threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin isn’t mining, but the security of elliptic curve digital signatures. According to the paper’s calculations, under Bitcoin’s mainnet difficulty as of January 2025, quantum mining would theoretically require about 10^23 physical qubits and 10^25 watts of power—equivalent to stellar-level energy output, making it physically and economically unfeasible in reality. https://(wublock123.com)/news/btq-quantum-mining-impractical-real-world-signature-layer-risk-59138
