Strategy Estimates Bitcoin Quantum-Resistant Upgrade Could Take 90 Days With Global Consensus

According to Strategy, a quantum-resistant upgrade to Bitcoin could be completed in approximately 90 days if global consensus forms behind the transition, Michael Saylor, the company's co-founder, said at a World Bank event in Washington in October. Strategy emphasized that no code changes are pending and no deployment timeline is set; the statement frames the position as readiness. In July, Strategy joined the Bitcoin Security Consortium, a group including BlackRock and Coinbase, which has budgeted $15 million over three years to research post-quantum cryptography solutions. The consortium is evaluating Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 360 (BIP 360), which proposes a new transaction output type called Pay to Merkle Root to address quantum-resistant security needs.
