Overview
- The National Bitcoin Office confirmed moving roughly 6,274–6,283 BTC from one address into 14 newly generated, unused wallets, each capped at about 500 BTC.
- The new custody model ends address reuse and keeps public oversight through a dashboard that shows the total reserve across all addresses.
- Officials said the restructuring is a precaution against potential quantum attacks that could target public keys revealed when coins are spent.
- On-chain records and independent observers, including mononaut, verified the redistribution into the 14 addresses.
- Most researchers say practical quantum attacks are not feasible today, and analysts note the split reduces exposure when funds are spent rather than making the holdings fully quantum-proof.
