El Salvador Shifts Bitcoin Holdings to Minimize Quantum Threat

In response to the looming threat of quantum computing, El Salvador has taken a proactive step by fragmenting its 6,274 bitcoins (worth $678 million). This action distributes the funds across 14 distinct wallets with a limit of 500 BTC per wallet. The goal is to minimize the potential damage from a hypothetical quantum attack that could compromise public keys revealed during transactions.
