BTQ Technologies Corp, a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, today announced the first successful demonstration of a quantum-resistant Bitcoin implementation using National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-standardized post-quantum cryptography. Bitcoin Quantum Core Release 0.2 replaces Bitcoin’s quantum-vulnerable ECDSA signatures with NIST-approved ML-DSA (Module-Lattice Digital Signature Algorithm), protecting against the emerging quantum threat that places Bitcoin’s entire $2.4 trillion market capitalization at risk. The announcement comes as leading quantum computing companies accelerate their timelines for cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs). Recent industry roadmaps project reaching one million qubits by 2030, while quantum researchers are demonstrating substantial reductions in required quantum resources for breaking encryption.
