A new paper from Google Quantum AI has sharply reduced the estimated hardware required to crack elliptic-curve cryptography used by Bitcoin and much of Ethereum, moving a long-running security debate closer to market terms.At current market prices, the quantum computing risks could affect more than $600 billion in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins.The paper, co-authored by Google researchers, Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake, and Stanford cryptographer Dan Boneh, says Shor’s algorithm for the 256-bit elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem can run with either no more than 1,200 logical qubits and 90 million Toffoli gates or no more than 1,450 logical qubits…
Bitcoin enters April with a price carrying the weight of macro conditions, corporate balance sheets, and the credibility of the public wrappers built around it.CryptoSlate has already laid out the broad structure: public equities created a new channel for balance-sheet demand, the premium on that demand opened the door to further issuance, and the cycle began feeding itself.Later coverage on slowing purchase volumes and the economics of being underwater on treasury holdings narrowed the focus to which companies could keep financing the trade once price and sentiment turned less forgiving.New disclosures around the Bitcoin treasury company, Nakamoto, sharpen that focus.Bitcoin…

American Bitcoin Corp holds 7,000 BTC valued at approximately US$474 million, ranking it 16th among publicly traded companies globally by Bitcoin treasury size. The company’s stock trades around US$0.84, down roughly 88% from its post-listing peak of approximately US$9.

Senators Cynthia Lummis and Bill Cassidy introduced the Mined in America Act on March 30, 2026, directing the Commerce Department to create a voluntary certification program for US-based Bitcoin mining facilities and pools. The Satoshi Action Fund flagged that the US controls 38% of global Bitcoin hash rate yet sources 87% of its mining hardware from China. Certified miners could sell newly mined Bitcoin directly to the US government in exchange for a capital gains tax exemption. A bill introduced in the US Senate seeks to formalise a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and tie it to domestic Bitcoin mining, using existing…
The first Form 1099-DA season is arriving for US crypto investors with a basic problem: many people are getting the new IRS form before they understand what it actually tells them.A Coinbase and CoinTracker survey of 3,000 US crypto users found that 61% were unaware of the new 2025 reporting rules, even though 74% said they knew crypto activity can be taxable and 56% rated their own knowledge of crypto tax rules as good or excellent.That gap comes as the IRS begins receiving more standardized data on digital-asset sales handled by brokers. Treasury and the IRS require brokers to report…

FTX will begin its fourth creditor distribution on March 31, with about $2.2 billion set to reach eligible customers through BitGo, Kraken, and Payoneer within 1 to 3 business days.On paper, this might look like just another routine bankruptcy milestone.
