Evidence

Alex Gladstein, Chief Strategy Officer of the Human Rights Foundation, published a comprehensive report titled "The Quantum Threat to Bitcoin" on October 31, 2025:

  1. Threat assessment: Warns 6.51M BTC are vulnerable to quantum attack within 5 years, including 1.72M BTC in early Pay-to-Public-Key addresses
  2. BIP-360 support: Endorses BIP-360 as a signature-scheme-agnostic quantum-resistant framework
  3. Institutional funding: HRF Bitcoin Development Fund will sponsor PQ research, testnets, and migration tooling
  4. Policy contribution: Addressed the burn-or-steal dilemma for quantum-vulnerable coins

Score Justification

Score 3 (Cautious): "Acknowledges risk, not yet acting."

Gladstein is funding and advocating for PQ preparation through HRF, not building code or proposing specific opcodes. His role is institutional awareness and research funding -- active concern with resource commitment, but not hands-on solution building.
