Blockstream CEO Adam Back has asserted that Bitcoin can adapt to future quantum computing threats through soft-forks, ensuring its long-term security. Speaking on November 15, 2025, Back highlighted that while quantum threats are not anticipated for another 20 to 40 years, Bitcoin's existing upgrade mechanisms, such as NIST's SLH-DSA, can enhance cryptographic signatures without network disruption. Back emphasized Bitcoin's robust infrastructure, citing past upgrades like Taproot, which demonstrate the network's capacity for modular and secure evolution. This adaptability, he noted, positions Bitcoin to effectively integrate quantum-resistant cryptography when necessary.
