The US is allocating $6 billion for scientific research, including quantum technologies and AI.

Of that amount, $215 million has been allocated to quantum computing. The funding program includes phased rewards for companies that strengthen systems against quantum hacks. These developments are important for BTC, as, according to Coinbase, 7 million coins ($581 billion) are vulnerable to quantum attacks.

At the same time, the US government transferred confiscated 12,300 BTC ($1 billion) after a $770 million BTC transaction to Coinbase Prime. These funds are tied to the 2016 hack of the Bitfinex crypto exchange. The US leads all countries in BTC holdings — 328,400 coins ($27.3 billion), or 1.6% of the supply.
