UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output)

A discrete chunk of spendable Bitcoin controlled by a locking script/key condition—the unit of quantum exposure analysis for holders.

Definition

Bitcoin tracks value as unspent outputs. Each UTXO has a script that defines how it can be spent. Quantum risk is easiest to reason about per UTXO: has the public key been revealed? Was the address reused?

Portfolio risk is the aggregate of UTXO exposures plus custody operational design.
