Google's Quantum AI team has found that breaking the Bitcoin blockchain with quantum computers may be easier than previously thought, suggesting that the computing power required to break Bitcoin’s security may be lower than previously assumed. The team found that cracking the cryptography used by Bitcoin and Ethereum could require fewer than 500,000 physical quantum bits, or qubits. This discovery raises questions about how soon quantum threats could become a reality. Google has previously stated that the transition to useful quantum systems would occur before migration, making the finding that attacks may require less computing power more significant. OpenAI has raised a record $122 billion in committed capital at an $852 billion post-money valuation, making it the most valuable startup in history by a wide margin. The company is generating $2 billion in revenue per month, up from $1 billion per quarter at the end of 2024.
