Glassnode finds public keys exposed on 35.4% of issued Bitcoin
CoinEdition cites Glassnode data showing 7.12 million BTC in holdings with visible public keys, highlighting a long-term quantum-computing exposure metric.
CoinEdition cites Glassnode data showing 7.12 million BTC in holdings with visible public keys, highlighting a long-term quantum-computing exposure metric. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $73,873.00, up 0.2% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by CoinEdition, with live market data added, as of Wed, 11 Nov 2026 06:00:05 UTC.
The estimate identifies the portion of Bitcoin potentially reachable by a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. Its significance is tied to future cryptographic capability rather than an immediate compromise of the network.
- Glassnode estimates 7.12 million BTC have visible public keys
- Exposed holdings represent 35.4% of issued Bitcoin supply
- Bitcoin trades at $73,748, down 1.07% over 24 hours
- Crypto Fear & Greed stands at 29, indicating Fear
- Glassnode maps Bitcoin’s quantum-exposed supply at 35.4%
- Glassnode finds public keys exposed on 35.4% of issued Bitcoin — this brief
CoinEdition reports that Glassnode estimates 7.12 million BTC are held in wallets with visible public keys. That total accounts for 35.4% of 
Bitcoin’s issued supply, making it a measure of the coins potentially exposed to a future quantum attack if sufficiently powerful quantum computers become available.
The report also cites an earlier Glassnode snapshot of 6.04 million exposed BTC, equal to 30.2% of supply. The difference between the two snapshots is 1.08 million BTC and 5.2 percentage points of supply, although the supplied summary does not specify the date of the earlier measurement. The figures describe holdings with publicly visible keys, not quantum attacks that have occurred or Bitcoin transactions that have been compromised.
Live market data show Bitcoin at $73,748, down 1.07% over 24 hours and 3.27% over seven days. Its market capitalization is $1.48 trillion within a broader crypto market valued at $2.52 trillion, with the overall market broadly lower. The Crypto Fear & Greed index stands at 29, placing sentiment in the Fear zone.
The immediate significance is that Glassnode is tracking how much of the network’s supply has publicly visible cryptographic information. The 7.12 million BTC estimate provides a baseline for future comparisons, while the potential impact remains conditional on quantum computers becoming capable of exploiting the relevant keys. The market data offer the current price backdrop but do not establish a connection between the quantum-risk estimate and Bitcoin’s recent decline.
Since this brief published about 6 hours ago, Bitcoin (BTC) has moved from $73,748.00 to $73,873.00 — +0.17%.

Will Bitcoin dip to $65,000 by December 31, 2026?
Crowd-implied probability on Polymarket, $107.36K 24h volume, resolves Jan 1 — snapshotted when this brief published (Nov 11 04:05 UTC). A market price reflects what traders collectively expect; it is not a forecast by TLT and will have moved since. View the market ↗
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₦102.69M (about $73,873.00), down 1.2% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.9% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.

Glassnode finds public keys exposed on 35.4% of issued Bitco — questions & answers
How much Bitcoin has visible public keys?
Glassnode estimates that 7.12 million BTC, or 35.4% of issued supply, are held with visible public keys, according to CoinEdition.
Does this mean those Bitcoin coins have been hacked?
No. The estimate describes potential long-term quantum-computing exposure and does not indicate that the coins have been stolen or compromised.
How is Bitcoin performing as this estimate is reported?
Bitcoin is at $73,748, down 1.07% over 24 hours and 3.27% over seven days, while the Fear & Greed index reads 29.
How much is 1 Bitcoin worth in naira today?
About ₦102.69M at the live peer-to-peer (P2P) USDT rate, which is what Nigerians typically trade at — equivalent to roughly $73,873.00. The naira price moves with both BTC's US-dollar price and the USDT/NGN rate; use our Bitcoin in naira page for any amount.
