Strategy’s chairman of the board, Michael Saylor, put an end to the “quantum threat” discussions in the Bitcoin ecosystem with his statements in Natalie Brunell’s Coin Stories podcast. Saylor described these security concerns, which occupied the cryptocurrency world as of February 24, 2026, as a “fear trend” and emphasized that the blockchain infrastructure will be immune to possible attacks in the future. The famous name who managed the transformation process of Bitcoin into a corporate reserve asset drew attention to the structural power of the market beyond technological risks.
BIP-360 Shield Against Quantum Threat
Claims that quantum computer attacks, which have been discussed for a long time in the cryptocurrency market, could collapse the Bitcoin network, are among the scenarios that are unlikely to happen for at least ten years, according to Saylor. Supporting the optimistic views shared by CoinShares, Saylor pointed out the critical role of the BIP-360 update, which will take the security of the network one step further. This technological move aims to close possible security vulnerabilities before they occur by turning Bitcoin into a lattice-based infrastructure that is resistant to quantum attacks.
Other prominent figures in the industry, such as Ripple executive David Schwartz and CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju, have made harsh warnings in the past about Bitcoin’s vulnerability to quantum. Schwartz even argued that it was inevitable for the network to enter a radical fork process in order to survive. However, Saylor predicts that such technological pressure will, on the contrary, increase demand for Bitcoin and reinforce the value of the asset by creating “supply hardening.”
Corporate Accumulation and Orange Century Vision
Strategy firm maintains its title as the world’s largest institutional Bitcoin owner with 717,722 BTC in its portfolio, according to data as of February 23, 2026. This huge accumulation of approximately 54.56 billion dollars forms the cornerstone of the new financial era that the company calls “Orange Century”. Saylor continues to aggressively grow its Bitcoin reserves while providing fixed income to its shareholders, using a “perpetual preferred stock” technique that minimizes the risk of stock dilution.
Current data in the market shows that Bitcoin has fallen by approximately 50% from its peak of $ 123,000 to $ 64,208. Despite this sharp price correction, Saylor’s bull market expectation and buying appetite continues unabated. Stating that institutional demand has moved Bitcoin from technical rarity (halving) to a structural scarcity, Saylor believes that a possible hacking attempt or intense demand will trigger prices upward by creating a “supply shock” in the market.
