☢️ Is this the end of "Digital Gold"?
#Jefferies liquidates its position at
#bitcoin citing the quantum threat as an existential risk
In a move that has left strategists of
#WallStreet stunned, Christopher Wood, the influential strategist from Jefferies, has completely removed
#BTC from his famous "GREED & fear" model portfolio.
After years of defending cryptocurrency as the safe haven asset of the 21st century, Wood has capitulated, transferring that 10% allocation directly into physical gold and mining stocks, citing that the security of Bitcoin is no longer compatible with long-term pension investments.
Threat to the value storage thesis: Although Wood does not expect an immediate collapse, he argues that quantum computing undermines the technical foundation justifying the ownership of Bitcoin decades into the future. For a pension fund, if security is not eternal, the asset is not a store of value.
Supply vulnerability: Based on a critical study by Chaincode Labs (May 2025), the report warns that between 4 and 10 million BTC (up to 50% of the circulating supply) could be vulnerable to key theft via quantum technology.
Institutional weak point: The analysis highlights an ironic risk: wallets of exchanges and institutions are the most exposed due to address reuse, making it easier for quantum computers to "extract" private keys.
Return to roots: Wood, who was among the first to institutionally validate BTC during the pandemic, has decided that physical gold is, for the time being, the only refuge immune to the advances of advanced computing.
Critical deadline vs. Current price: The strategist separates short-term price action (which could remain bullish) from the structural viability of the protocol towards the year 2140, the date when Bitcoin's fixed supply should be completed.
