Strategy plans to initiate a Bitcoin (BTC) security program that will coordinate with the global cyber, crypto, and Bitcoin security community to address potential threats from quantum computing, according to Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
Speaking at the company’s fourth-quarter 2025 earnings call on Thursday, Saylor said the initiative is intended to contribute to global consensus-building and responsible planning around emerging security risks, including quantum computing, which he described as a long-term concern rather than an immediate threat.
Quantum Risk Framed As Long-Term, Not Immediate
Saylor said concerns about quantum computing represent the latest in a long history of existential fears surrounding Bitcoin, following earlier worries ranging from protocol bugs to energy usage and regulatory crackdowns.
He argued that most experts view a credible quantum threat as being at least a decade away.
According to Saylor, acting prematurely could introduce new vulnerabilities.
He warned that rushing into upgrades without broad agreement could create additional attack surfaces and complexity, potentially causing more harm than the risk it seeks to mitigate.
He emphasized that any response should follow global consensus rather than unilateral action.
Coordinating With Global Security Communities
Strategy’s planned security program is designed to work alongside the broader cybersecurity, cryptography, and Bitcoin developer communities.
Saylor said the company believes it has a responsibility to participate constructively given the scale of its Bitcoin holdings.

The goal, he said, is not to dictate solutions but to help align research, dialogue, and eventual responses across stakeholders.
He added that many industries beyond crypto, including finance and defense, face similar cryptographic challenges and are already investing heavily in quantum-resistant technologies.
Bitcoin Viewed As Adaptable Infrastructure
Saylor stressed that Bitcoin’s strength lies in its ability to evolve deliberately.
He said the network has historically addressed major challenges through careful upgrades that ultimately made it more resilient.
If and when a quantum-resistant upgrade becomes necessary, Saylor said it would require broad agreement across the ecosystem.
Until then, he argued that restraint is critical to avoid destabilizing a system that currently functions securely.
