Is D-Wave the Latest Threat to Bitcoin?Author: Nathan Reiff. Date Posted: 4/7/2026. 
Key Points
- A new report from Google suggests that quantum computers may be able to render critical aspects of the security cryptography used in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies obsolete in just a few more years.
- The development could have major implications for pure-play quantum computing tech firms like D-Wave Quantum.
- Although D-Wave remains a risky play with massive short interest and a sharply declining share price, it could be positioned well to benefit from disruption to the blockchain and crypto spaces.

As Bitcoin has traded sideways for two months and remains well below its 2025 all-time high, quantum computing firms like D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) may represent a new source of downward pressure on the cryptocurrency market. A recent whitepaper from Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) warns that a so-called "Q-Day"—when quantum computers can break the cryptography underpinning cryptocurrencies—might be approaching faster than many expect. To be sure, D-Wave has faced its own challenges A Move From Crypto to Quantum?
For a moment…
Forget about Trump’s ties to Israel.
Forget about reports of Iran’s nuclear program.
Because my research has led me to believe we’re risking World War 3 with Iran for a completely different reason. Click here to find out what it is.
The reason quantum computing threatens Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is simple: cryptocurrencies rely on public‑key cryptography to secure wallets and transactions. Because of the unique capabilities of quantum computers, it is conceivable that future systems could derive private keys—effectively breaking the security that protects a cryptocurrency wallet—in minutes. That possibility could drive a shift in investor behavior. If crypto holders lose confidence in token security, some may exit positions in Bitcoin and other tokens and instead speculate on companies developing quantum technologies. D-Wave, as one of the few pure‑play quantum firms with visible operational growth, would be a natural recipient of that capital rotation. What Could Follow After a Quantum-Led Bitcoin DisruptionEven if quantum computers were to compromise the cryptography behind Bitcoin or other tokens, that wouldn't necessarily spell the end of cryptocurrencies. In fact, D-Wave is already positioning itself in post‑quantum security: its Advantage2 system is being used in projects at Postquant Labs. Combined with D-Wave's unusual positioning—working across both quantum annealing and gate‑model technologies—the company could gain an edge if quantum firms compete to rebuild or harden blockchain infrastructure in the years ahead. That dual focus has already attracted significant customer interest, producing surging backlogs and a lucrative contract with a Fortune 100 company this year. Threats to encryption extend beyond cryptocurrencies: cryptography is critical to national security, so government agencies are closely monitoring quantum developments. D-Wave may have an advantage here as well, given its longstanding government engagements—including partnerships with Davidson Technologies Inc. and Anduril Industries Inc. on defense applications. Fundamental Momentum, But Real Risks RemainDespite a near‑tripling in full‑year revenue year over year in 2025 and growing customer traction from new contracts, D-Wave remains a risky investment. Several positive points in its latest earnings report did not prevent a post‑report selloff, as investors remain wary while the company is still pre‑profit. As a highly speculative stock with elevated valuation multiples, the idea of a dramatic turnaround that sends QBTS shares higher may be tempting to some investors. Analysts still project D-Wave's stock could rise above $36—about a 170% increase from current levels. Substantial short interest also raises the possibility of a short squeeze if a strong positive catalyst emerges. A breakthrough in which D-Wave's technology could crack the encryption used by leading cryptocurrencies would be exactly the kind of catalyst that might trigger such a move. |
