If there is ever such a vulnerability in bitcoin that allows you to either - Generate private keys at a rate in which you will be able to produce it in a reasonable time or - Outright reverse engineer the private key from the public key or other metadata Then Bitcoin is broken and that 1bn is worth next to nothing.

If someone discovers such a vulnerability and is able to cash out before it's publicized then they'll make a lot of money anyway. They could also short Bitcoin before intentionally crashing it.
