Michael Saylor downplays worries that quantum computing threatens Bitcoin, labeling it a market distraction.

Quantum Threat View

Saylor calls the quantum threat a market distraction. He says it is a psychological fear appearing without stronger narratives. MicroStrategy holds ~226k BTC, reinforcing his confidence.

Past Fear Cycles

Past scares—Chinese mining dominance, hardware backdoors, 2021 ban—spiked anxiety but Bitcoin adapted. Mining shifted globally and transparency grew. These cycles show Bitcoin’s resilience.

Technical Outlook

Today’s quantum computers have only hundreds of noisy qubits, far short of the millions required to break ECDSA. Experts see a break 10‑15 years away, giving upgrade time. Post‑quantum signature research and NIST standards are underway.

Market Psychology

Investors overreact to vivid headlines, driven by availability bias and narratives. Saylor sees them as short‑term volatility, not core risk. MicroStrategy treats quantum risk as manageable, emphasizing long‑term holding and secure custody.
