Microsoft is doubling down on its quantum computing plans, releasing a new quantum chip called Majorana 2. The company is now targeting 2029 for a useful quantum computer, a year earlier than previously planned. This is due to improved qubits that stay together for an average of 20 seconds, 1,000 times longer than the first-generation chip. Microsoft's topological qubit approach offers hardware-based protection against qubit fragility.
Bitcoin trades below $60,000 for first time since Trump's reelection in late 2024. The drop marks more than half of Bitcoin's all-time peak of $126,000 in October 2025. Geopolitical tensions and quantum computing advances are cited as key factors. The decline signals growing investor skepticism amid strong U.S. executive branch support for crypto.
