Trump Quantum Executive Orders Heighten Bitcoin Security Risks at $62K
President Trump’s simultaneous signing of executive orders EO 14411 and EO 14409 on June 23 has shifted focus to long-term Bitcoin vulnerabilities after an initial June 22 tease of a quantum push. The orders accelerate quantum computing while mandating nationwide post-quantum cryptography migration by 2030-2031, spotlighting roughly 7 million BTC still held in legacy addresses. Earlier in the period, Bank of America’s hawkish pivot to three Fed hikes pressured risk assets, yet Bitcoin stabilized near $64,000-$65,000 as the Clarity Act advanced in the Senate and quantum-related security debates resurfaced over 34% of exposed supply.
