The Bitcoin Office Office of President Nayib Bukele divided 6,284 bitcoin with a value of around 682 million dollars to 14 new separate portfolios, each containing less than 500 currencies, to replace a single public key known for several sleeve keys for the addresses notified all transactions, in anticipation of the possibility of a premature quantum threat.
In a new stage to protect its digital treasure, El Salvador – The first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as a legal currency – has announced the improvement of the security of its national currency reserves in the midst of growing fears of rapid developments in the field of quantum computers. The Bitcoin National Currency Office reported on Friday that the country had redistributed its reservations of 6,284 currencies, with a value of more than $ 682 million, at 14 separate portfolios.
The government previously retained all of its balance of currencies in an address, which exposed it to numerous criticisms of safety experts, since public keys are generally vulnerable to long -term risks.

The office – who works under the supervision of President Bokili, known for his support in Bitcoin (Bitcoin) – explained that this step is in a wider strategy to improve the security of the national strategic reserve quantum.
Unlike traditional computers that process the data using the bilateral system (0 and 1) or the “bit”, quantum computers depend on quantum units (qubits) which can be present in several cases at the same time, which gives them the possibility of processing enormous amounts of data at unprecedented speed.
The danger is for Bitcoin in the Shor algorithm, which was shown in 1999, which can break ECDSA -based encryption – which is used to protect the general and private Bitcoin keys – if it is executed on a strong quantum computer with sufficiently.
This threat is increased compared to addresses whose general keys were revealed during the realization of transactions; The title becomes visible during the display of the transaction on the blockchain, which gives – in theory – that is to say that the quantum deduction is the possibility of calculating the private key and transferring the sales before confirming the transaction.
By redistributing the reserves to new unused portfolios, each of which includes less than 500 currencies, Al Salvador has reduced the volume of potential risks of any future quantum attack, because the general keys of unused titles remain hidden, which makes them less vulnerable to the attack.
The government has also confirmed that it would maintain transparency thanks to a new public monitoring plaque that displays all the titles associated with reserves, allowing the community to monitor the sales without relying on a portfolio.
Research: Bitcoin represents around 7 million bitcoin currencies
The last stage of Al Salvador reflects the escalation of anxiety in the digital currency sector concerning threats resulting from quantum IT, because cybersecurity experts estimate that around 30% of the Bitcoin currency – that is to say between 6 and 7 million currencies – is always vulnerable at the risk of being reserved in the old addresses which directly show public keys. Deloitte Research said that up to a quarter of the total currency supply can be at risk if quantum computers would develop at an expected haste.
Warnings of veterans in the sector have increased in recent months. In July, David Carvalho – CEO of Naoris Protocol and the former moral pirate – warned that malicious parties have already started collecting blockchain data for the strategy “collected now and deciphering encryption later” by storing the data from the blockchin currently encrypted in the hope of dismantling it. In the future, with the development of quantum tools, Carvalio indicated that these capacities could develop in the years, and not the decades, in contradiction with conservative estimates which expect quantum day (Q-Day) between 2027 and in the mid-thirteen of the current century.

These concerns arise at a time when quantum research is accelerating in the world; Giant technical companies such as IBM, Google and Microsoft seek to develop silent treatments containing millions of quantum houses, which can reduce the time necessary to penetrate current encryption standards; Federal organizations in the United States, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), have also called for the adoption of resistant algorithms of quantum attacks since 2022 to calculate the approach that approaches, and even financial institutions have started to recognize the dangers, because Blackrock indicated these risks as part of its request to create a Boast negotiation box (ETF) Bitans. (Bitcoin), while Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, warned the possibility of inactive pirates in the future.
The International Review of the Monetary Fund (IMF) reveals contradictions in Bokili’s comments on the purchase of Bitcoin (Bitcoin)
Although El Salvador continues to improve its presence in the world of bitcoin, recent reports indicate a more conservative approach than what appears in the declarations of President Nayeb Bokili; On July 15, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) issued the first official review of the Bitcoin program in El Salvador since the approval of a loan of $ 1.4 billion in December 2024, and the examination revealed that no new purchase of Bokili has been recorded since February 2025.

Douglas Pablo Rodríguez Fuentes – President of the Central Bank of Salvador – and Jerson Rogelio Posada Molein – Minister of Finance – in an official letter signed that “the balance of government agencies of the Bitcoin play (Bitcoin) has not witnessed the change. Portfolio (connected to the Internet) and cold (not connected to the Internet), not new purchases; The acquired assets have also been excluded by the confiscations or the redistribution of government accounts.
The International Monetary Fund has congratulated the change from government to a more cautious approach, considering that this has significant progress in reducing financial risks and improving transparency. Among these reforms, there is a gradual withdrawal from the Bitcoin Services Department (Bitcoin) in a government in a government in a government, and the CHEVO portfolio – which has been previously promoted as a major tool to adopt the Bitcoin currency – will be privatized and deleted from the supervision of the government by July 20, and the officials say that this change will reduce the pressure of the public work with continuous work Special management.
Despite these changes, El Salvador still seeks to consolidate his position as a leading country in the field of Bitcoin Bitcoin adoption; In August, the government launched a financial education program under the title “What is money?” For children from the age of seven.
The government has also announced the organization of the World Summit “Bitcoin Histórico”, which aims to celebrate monetary sovereignty and with an important way in digital transformation.
