Founding members include Anchorage Digital, ARK Invest, BlackRock, Block, Blockstream, Coinbase, Fidelity Digital Assets, Galaxy, and Strategy.

The consortium has set two main objectives: 

  • to fund developers and researchers;
  • to inform the community about the state of blockchain security.

“As long-term holders of BTC, we are committed to ensuring Bitcoin remains secure for future generations. Funding and supporting developers is a natural way to contribute,” said Fong Lee, CEO of Strategy.

The group does not intend to directly implement changes to the protocol of the first cryptocurrency or act on behalf of its developers. Each consortium member independently decides how to allocate their funds.

The first focus of the organization will be preparing for the long-term risks posed by quantum computing. Strategy emphasized that there are currently no quantum computers capable of posing a widespread threat to the cryptography of digital gold.

“Nevertheless, preparing post-quantum safeguards is an important long-term priority that the Bitcoin technical community is already actively working on. The consortium aims to support this work and provide a reliable reference point for investors, the public, and the media as this field evolves,” the press release stated. 

The operational activities of the Bitcoin Security Consortium will be coordinated by Mike Schmidt, Executive Director of Brink. He is participating in the initiative as a volunteer, independent of the member companies.

In the coming months, the consortium plans to release educational materials on Bitcoin security and continue funding the relevant developer community.

It’s worth noting that on July 21, Galaxy launched a similar program to prepare Bitcoin for potential threats from quantum computers, with up to $5 million allocated for grants to developers and researchers.
