Bernstein said the bitcoin market has already priced in a range of risks, including quantum-security worries, pointing to a roughly 50 percent fall from its October 2025 record high.

Bernstein said Bitcoin Core developers still have time to choose a post-quantum upgrade path. Others said the main challenge is social adoption, including moving users to new standards.

Canadian space communications company Kepler Communications has moved to expand the space data processing market by operating what it describes as the largest computing cluster currently in orbit. Kepler equipped 10 satellites launched in January with about 40 Nvidia Orin edge processors and connected them via laser communication links. Kepler has 18 customers and recently added space software startup Sofia Space, which plans to run its operating system on Kepler’s network in space.
