"Strategy's ($MSTR) Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said on the company's fourth-quarter 2025 earnings call that Strategy will initiate a Bitcoin Security Program. The effort is meant to coordinate with the global cyber, crypto, and Bitcoin security community. In the call, Saylor framed quantum computing as a long-term engineering challenge rather than an immediate danger. He said the technology is likely more than a decade away from posing a serious risk to Bitcoin's cryptography."
"endured. The company outlined its position that many industries, including financial services and defense, still depend on traditional cryptography. It noted that global investment is already flowing into quantum-resistant security research. Saylor said the Bitcoin community is already engaged in work on quantum-resistant protocols. He added that if Bitcoin ever requires an upgrade, it would come through broad global consensus."
MicroStrategy will initiate a Bitcoin Security Program to coordinate with the global cyber, crypto, and Bitcoin security community. Quantum computing is characterized as a long-term engineering challenge more than a decade away from posing a serious risk to Bitcoin cryptography. A slide titled "Quantum and our Commitment to Bitcoin Security" presented quantum concerns as the latest form of Bitcoin "FUD." Many industries, including financial services and defense, still depend on traditional cryptography while global investment flows into quantum-resistant research. The Bitcoin community works on quantum-resistant protocols and any upgrade would require broad global consensus. MicroStrategy reported a roughly $12.4 billion quarterly net loss driven by mark-to-market bitcoin declines, experienced sharp share volatility, and holds over 713,000 BTC. Researchers warn that advanced quantum machines could eventually challenge encryption across finance, communications, and blockchain networks, and Bitcoin is expected to emerge stronger after any future upgrade.
