(NYSE: BTGO) (“BitGo” or “Company”), the digital\nasset infrastructure company, today announced new quantum-risk management\ncapabilities for Bitcoin wallets, designed to help institutions assess,\nmanage, and reduce quantum-related exposure across UTXO-based wallets.\n\nThe launch expands BitGo’s long-standing multi-signature security\narchitecture with new operational tools for managing wallet-key exposure,\nimproving UTXO handling, and strengthening institutional wallet operations as\nthe industry prepares for a post-quantum future.\n\nBitGo pioneered multi-signature wallets for Bitcoin and has long advocated for\nsecurity models that reduce single points of failure. Its wallet architecture,\nstrict address hygiene, and use of new addresses for Bitcoin transactions\nalready help reduce unnecessary key exposure. The new capabilities give\ninstitutions additional visibility, controls, and workflows to manage\nquantum-related risk at scale.\n\n“BitGo is investing in the foundation required for a post-quantum future for\nour clients,” said Mike Belshe, CEO and Co-founder of BitGo. “We believe\nthe safest key is one whose public key has never been revealed on-chain. These\ncapabilities give institutions a practical way to understand and reduce\nquantum exposure while continuing to rely on the proven security of\nmulti-signature.”\n\nWhile practical quantum attacks against Bitcoin are not available today,\nfuture advances in quantum computing could create risks for addresses whose\npublic keys have been exposed on-chain. BitGo’s wallet management\ncapabilities are designed to help clients reduce and eliminate that exposure\nbefore it becomes an operational issue.\n\n\"Nobody has a quantum computer that can touch Bitcoin today, but that's\nexactly why the work should start now, while it's calm and optional rather\nthan urgent and forced,\" said Adam Back, Co-Founder and CEO of Blockstream and\nBSTR.\n\nBitGo’s quantum-risk management capabilities for Bitcoin wallets include:\n\n\n * UTXO Selection Method: Our new coin selection method that groups and\nprioritizes UTXOs by address to reduce exposure created by partial spends.\nFunds already held in address types that expose a public key from creation,\nsuch as Taproot or Pay-to-Public-Key, require separate remediation and are\noutside of the scope of this application\n\n * Quantum Risk Score: An in-platform scoring system that helps clients\nunderstand potential quantum-related exposure across supported Bitcoin wallets\n\n * Fix Exposed Addresses Workflow: A guided remediation flow that helps clients\nmove funds away from addresses with elevated exposure and into newly generated\naddresses with improved key hygiene\n\n * Default Address-Type Controls: Updated default wallet behavior designed to\nreduce reliance on Bitcoin address types and transaction patterns that may\nintroduce additional quantum-related considerations\n\nThese controls are not a substitute for future Bitcoin protocol-level\npost-quantum signature upgrades, but are designed to reduce address and\ntransaction-level exposure using tools available today. The new capabilities\napply to supported UTXO-based assets and multi-signature wallet\nconfigurations.\n\n“We believe institutions do not need to wait for a quantum event to begin\nmanaging quantum risk,” added Belshe. “The right approach is to reduce\nexposure now, harden wallet operations, and prepare for the migration from\ntoday’s security models to future post-quantum standards.”\n\nAbout BitGo\n\nBitGo (NYSE: BTGO) is the digital asset infrastructure company delivering\ncustody, wallets, staking, trading, financing, stablecoins, and settlement\nservices from regulated cold storage. Since 2013, BitGo has focused on\naccelerating the transition of the financial system to a digital asset\neconomy. BitGo maintains a global presence and multiple regulated entities,\nincluding BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association, the first federally\nchartered digital asset trust bank owned by a publicly traded company.
