The company discussed the increasing discourse surrounding quantum risk and reiterated its dedication to bitcoin security, characterizing quantum as a future engineering obstacle rather than an urgent threat that the network can prepare for.

Saylor revisited a lengthy history of Bitcoin FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) that the network has previously navigated concerning quantum issues, while recognizing that quantum merits serious long-term planning.

The company highlighted several crucial aspects regarding quantum computing, predicting that advancements in quantum technology are likely over a decade away and noting that the Bitcoin community is already investigating quantum-resistant cryptography.

Shares have risen by 6% in pre-market trading as bitcoin has bounced back to $65,000.
