El Salvador Takes Precaution with $678M Bitcoin, Splitting Funds into 14 Wallets

El Salvador has proactively divided its Bitcoin holdings into 14 distinct wallets to mitigate the potential threat of quantum computing. The country’s Bitcoin Office explained this strategy as a way to reduce the impact of a hypothetical quantum attack on their funds, stating that smaller amounts spread across wallets make them less vulnerable to such an event. This action follows concerns about the growing power of quantum computers and their ability to crack currently used cryptography keys.
