CNBC personality Jim Cramer says he plans to sell his Bitcoin holdings, pointing to concerns about potential future quantum computing capabilities. In comments reported by Cointelegraph and Decrypt, Cramer discusses his decision in the context of rising Bitcoin prices, with both outlets noting that the move is drawing attention online and is tied to the “inverse Cramer” meme.
According to Decrypt, Cramer raises the issue after interviewing IBM CEO Arvind Krishna, asking whether quantum computers could eventually break the cryptography used to secure cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Cointelegraph similarly reports that Cramer links his planned sale to “quantum fears,” presenting the decision as directly connected to worries that advances in quantum computing could undermine the security assumptions behind current cryptographic protections.
Both sources frame the announcement as a personal investment decision rather than a change in network operations or protocol. The articles also highlight how crypto social media reacts to Cramer’s stance as Bitcoin continues to trade higher at the time of the reporting.
