April 16th – Bitcoin Core developer Jameson Lopp recently argued that freezing long-dormant bitcoins would be preferable to letting quantum computing attackers potentially steal them in the future. Roughly 5.6 million BTC (about 28% of the total supply) has been inactive for over a decade, likely permanently lost, with a current value of around $420 billion. If these dormant coins were cracked by a quantum computer and entered circulation, it could spark severe price swings, market panic, and erode confidence in the Bitcoin network. Lopp stressed this is not an outcome he wants, but rather a contingency plan to counter a potential existential threat. He’s more focused on rendering these “lost” coins unusable to attackers. The BIP-361 proposal, which Lopp contributed to, aims to phase out the current quantum-vulnerable signature scheme and push users to upgrade their wallets by invalidating transactions from non-upgraded ones.

**April 15 –** EmberCN monitoring data shows Tether’s Bitcoin (BTC) reserve address withdrew 951 BTC (valued at $70.47 million) from Bitfinex 15 minutes ago. The withdrawn tokens are reportedly among those Tether purchased in the first quarter of this year. Tether has accumulated BTC in this address since 2023 using 15% of its quarterly profits, and typically moves holdings from Bitfinex a few days after each quarter concludes. The address currently holds 97,141 BTC (worth ~$7.2 billion) — ranking as the fifth-largest Bitcoin wallet globally. Based on the withdrawal price from Bitfinex, the average purchase cost for these BTC is approximately $51,312, resulting in an unrealized gain of roughly $2.175 billion as of now.
