**May 2nd Update** Concerns over Bitcoin’s vulnerability to quantum computing have long revolved around a "Satoshi-related dilemma": If a sufficiently powerful quantum computer emerges, hundreds of millions of bitcoins stored in old wallets with exposed public keys could face theft risk—including ~1.1 million BTC (valued at ~$84 billion) allegedly belonging to anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto.

The firm also has tapped public bond market loans and bonds for additional liquidity in recent years. Jane Street representatives declined to comment.
