Jim Cramer plans to sell his Bitcoin over quantum fears as BTC rises 1.6%
Jim Cramer said he plans to sell all his Bitcoin after citing quantum computing risks, echoing IBM CEO Arvind Krishna’s warning that cryptocurrencies could face serious quantum threats within 3–4 years. Bitcoin was still trading above $63,500 but remained down 27% year to date. Crypto traders mocked the move with the “inverse Cramer” meme, joking that his bearish call is a buy signal. Separately, large holders have been reducing exposure as market liquidity weakens. One whale moved 16,400 BTC, worth about $1 billion, after months of inactivity, while trading volume across major spot exchanges fell to its lowest level of 2026. Views on quantum risk remain split: some say Bitcoin has decades before a real threat, while others believe post-quantum security upgrades may be needed within a few years.
