My understanding is that bitcoin addresses are quantum safe as long as you do not reuse an address after spending funds sent to it [0]. Per the linked article, this is standard practice, so I would assume the majority of addresses are actually quantum safe.
And for more context: with p2pkh addresses, you are sending to the hash of the address, and hashes are quantum safe.
