Glassnode maps Bitcoin’s quantum-exposed supply at 35.4%
A Glassnode estimate puts 7.12 million BTC in the path of a future quantum threat, as Bitcoin trades lower in a broadly weak crypto market.
A Glassnode estimate puts 7.12 million BTC in the path of a future quantum threat, as Bitcoin trades lower in a broadly weak crypto market. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $73,705.00, down 0.1% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by Crypto.news, with live market data added, as of Tue, 10 Nov 2026 22:45:02 UTC.
The estimate highlights the scale of Bitcoin holdings whose public keys are already visible, but it does not establish that those coins face an immediate quantum risk. It may inform future technical planning around cryptography and custody.
- Glassnode estimates 7.12 million BTC have publicly exposed keys.
- The figure equals 35.4% of Bitcoin’s issued supply.
- Bitcoin trades at $73,806, down 1.46% over 24 hours.
- Crypto’s Fear & Greed Index stands at 32, indicating fear.
Glassnode estimates that 
Bitcoin’s publicly exposed supply has reached 7.12 million BTC, representing 35.4% of all issued coins. The on-chain research firm disclosed the figure in a Nov. 10 post on X, according to Crypto.news, which is the only outlet supplied with coverage of the development.
The estimate has renewed discussion about the potential quantum-computing threat to Bitcoin holdings. The central issue is which exposed coins could ultimately become targets; the available coverage does not provide a timeline for a working quantum attack or indicate that an immediate quantum compromise is underway.
Crypto.news characterized the finding as part of the continuing quantum debate. Reporting remained limited to the single Glassnode estimate, with no second outlet supplied to independently corroborate the 7.12 million BTC and 35.4% figures or to challenge their interpretation. The metric concerns public-key exposure rather than proof that the associated private keys have been compromised.
Live market data show Bitcoin at $73,806, down 1.46% over 24 hours and 5.16% over seven days. Its market capitalization is $1.48 trillion, while the total crypto market stands at $2.52 trillion amid broadly negative conditions. The Fear & Greed Index is at 32, placing sentiment in the “Fear” category; the supplied data does not connect the price decline or market sentiment directly to the quantum-exposure report.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, Bitcoin (BTC) has moved from $73,806.00 to $73,705.00 — -0.14%.

Will Bitcoin dip to $65,000 by December 31, 2026?
Crowd-implied probability on Polymarket, $92.84K 24h volume, resolves Jan 1 — snapshotted when this brief published (Nov 10 22:05 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 ≈ ₦102.41M (about $73,705.00), down 2.0% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 3.0% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.

How much Bitcoin does Glassnode consider publicly exposed?
Glassnode estimates that 7.12 million BTC have publicly exposed keys, equal to 35.4% of issued Bitcoin supply.
Does the estimate mean those Bitcoin coins are already compromised?
No. The supplied coverage describes public-key exposure and a potential future quantum-computing target, not an existing quantum attack or demonstrated loss of funds.
