Ark Invest Warns 35% Of Bitcoin Supply Could Face Future Quantum Risks, But There Is Time To Adapt

A new report from Ark Invest and Unchained says advances in quantum computing could eventually challenge Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO: BTC), cryptography, though the threat remains distant for now.

Quantum Computing Could Challenge Bitcoin’s Security

A report titled “Bitcoin and Quantum Computing” by ARK Invest and Unchained said current quantum machines remain far from powerful enough to break Bitcoin’s security.

Today’s systems operate in the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era, meaning they have limited computational power and high error rates, preventing them from compromising Bitcoin’s cryptographic protections.

Bitcoin’s security mainly relies on cryptographic hash functions and elliptic…

Policy Group Calls For Bitcoin Inclusion In Tax Exemptions

The Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) is urging Congress to broaden proposed de minimis tax relief for digital assets beyond payment stablecoins to include bitcoin and other major network tokens.

Under current law, bitcoin is treated as property, which means every purchase with the asset triggers a capital gains calculation, regardless of transaction size. 

BPI argues that this framework discourages routine payments, such as buying coffee or sending small remittances, because users must track cost basis and report minor gains and losses.

Lawmakers have worked on several approaches in the 119th Congress. Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced a standalone bill that would create a 300 dollar…

Corporate Bitcoin Holdings Hit Record High: Report

Corporate ownership of bitcoin has reached a new high in early 2026 as exchange-traded funds, multinational corporations, and private firms expand their exposure to the asset, according to the latest corporate adoption report from BitcoinTreasuries.net.

The data shows that institutional demand now forms a central pillar of the bitcoin market. Public companies, private firms, ETFs, and government-linked entities collectively hold a growing share of the circulating supply, with a small number of large buyers responsible for most accumulation.

The findings illustrate a shift in bitcoin’s ownership structure. Early adoption was driven by retail investors and technology…

New research from Binance suggests the upcoming 2026 United States midterm elections could set the stage for a recovery in both Bitcoin and equities, even as markets face pressure from geopolitical tensions and rising energy prices.

Samourai Letter #5: The Skinwalker

Dear Reader,

It has been a while since we last spoke. My last letter was written on the anniversary of my first month of incarceration at FPC Morgantown, the second month of being here has now come and gone. Truth be told I have struggled to think of what I could write to you all.

Is Bitcoin Heading To $40,000? Analyst Warns Potential Weakness Into April

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has been trading in a range for months, with observers searching for short-term price patterns that could signal where the market may head in the longer run.

Bitcoin Often Rises Before Sharp Bear Market Drops

Prominent analyst Benjamin Cowen said in a March 11 podcast that bear markets in Bitcoin often behave counterintuitively, with prices spending more time drifting upward than falling.

These rallies can last weeks or months, creating optimism that a new bull market has begun before a rapid capitulation pushes prices to a lower low.

According to Cowen, this structure makes bear markets difficult to identify in real time because temporary rebounds often convince…
