Bitcoin Traders Are Discussing BTC’s Record High, but Quantum Computing Is Threatening the Math Behind It

Bitcoin relies on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to secure wallet addresses and validate ownership. But ECC, like RSA, is vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm — a quantum computing method capable of cracking the discrete logarithm problem, the core math behind Bitcoin's private keys.

Satoshi-Era Bitcoin Whale Moves Final $4.8B to Galaxy Digital, Likely Prepping Sale

The latest tranche brings Galaxy’s wallet balance to 40,288 BTC, with no outbound activity recorded since the final whale transfer.

The dormant Bitcoin address tied to one of the network’s earliest whales has now moved its entire 80,000 BTC stash to trading desks, with the final 40,191 BTC (worth $4.8 billion) sent to Galaxy Digital on Friday — signaling a likely upcoming sale. Sending to exchanges or trading desks does not confirm a sale of crypto to stablecoins or other tokens, but large amounts of crypto are typically held in hard wallets instead of exchanges — which gives the market a reason to believe otherwise. Blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence indicates that the coins were transferred across 15 transactions to a Galaxy-labeled address starting at 5:41 p.m. ET, consolidating from four prior wallets into a single holding address prior to the transfer. pic The OG whale, who first acquired their bitcoin over 14 years ago, began reactivating on July 4, sending eight batches of 10,000 BTC to new addresses in their first movement since April 2011.  On Tuesday, they moved 40,010 BTC to Galaxy Digital, which has since begun routing coins to Coinbase, Gemini, Bitstamp, and several unlabeled addresses, indicating potential offloading via OTC desks. The latest tranche brings Galaxy’s wallet balance to 40,288 BTC, with no outbound activity recorded since the final whale transfer. The move comes as BTC trades just above $118,000 hovering near its recently set all-time high.
