In a recent interview, Bitcoin core developer Adam Back stated that Bitcoin's code may require new signature algorithms in the coming decades. He emphasized this is not because quantum computers are currently breaking the protocol, but rather to ensure the network is ready before that threat materializes.
When asked about Bitcoin's current state, Back deferred to the full interview for his answer. The complete discussion is available in a linked YouTube video.
