With general use quantum computers (likely) coming in the next couple of decades, will bitcoin remain viable if quantum computing can crack sha256 encryption?

I'm relatively new to bitcoin, roughly a couple of years. Been buying to hodl with a 10 to 15 year time horizon. But recently I've been thinking about whether or not sha256 encryption will be able to withstand quantum computing. I think it's doubtful. I am a former software engineer and used sha256 encryption in projects, but by no means would consider myself an expert in encryption. That said I'm starting to get a little concerned about the viability of bitcoin if the entire computational paradigm changes with quantum computers.

Any of you have any insight on this?
