BTQ Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: BTQ) shares started Wednesday higher, as the global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks announced that Delphi Digital, a leading independent digital asset research and advisory firm, has published an in-depth research report titled "BTQ Technologies: Securing Crypto's Future Against the Quantum Threat."
The report provides a comprehensive overview of BTQ's Bitcoin Quantum initiative, positioning it as a "quantum canary" network designed to protect Bitcoin and the broader digital asset ecosystem from the accelerating threat of cryptographically relevant quantum computers.
It highlights the growing urgency around quantum risk, the limitations of upgrading Bitcoin's base layer directly, and the role of Bitcoin Quantum as a live, production-grade testbed for post-quantum cryptography, quantum-native proof-of-work, and quantum-safe migration playbooks for institutions.
Delphi Digital's coverage follows BTQ's recently announced Bitcoin Quantum Core 0.2 milestone, which demonstrated a quantum-safe Bitcoin implementation that replaces Bitcoin's quantum-vulnerable ECDSA signatures with NIST-standardized ML-DSA, completing the full flow of wallet creation, transaction signing, and signature verification.
The report frames quantum computing as an imminent, not hypothetical, risk to ECDSA-secured systems, citing the potential for Shor's algorithm to recover private keys from exposed public keys and enable "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks against Bitcoin, Ethereum, exchanges, and DeFi infrastructure.
BTQ shares opened Wednesday with a gain of 18 cents, or 2.9%, to $6.30.
