the claim

Shor's algorithm on a large quantum computer can derive a Bitcoin private key from its public key.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Shor's algorithm on a large quantum computer can derive a Bitcoin private key from its public key?

Unclear. Several peer-reviewed and reference sources state that Shor's algorithm breaks ECDSA and public-key cryptography, including Bitcoin signatures, once a large fault-tolerant quantum computer exists. None of the retrieved items specifically addresses deriving a Bitcoin private key from its public key, so the evidence covers only the broader cryptographic break, not the exact claim.
