ARK Invest report: Quantum computing could target ~35% of Bitcoin supply.
Current quantum tech isn't a threat, but a gradual emergence of risks is outlined.
~65.4% of BTC supply (13M coins) is in non-vulnerable addresses.
~8.6% (1.7M coins) are in lost, quantum-vulnerable P2PK addresses.
~35% of supply in reusable/P2TR addresses could be migrated, posing a potential attack surface.
A "crypto-quantum computer" needs thousands of logical qubits & millions/billions of gates.
Advancements likely to be accompanied by global internet infrastructure developments before impacting Bitcoin security directly.
