In the near future, no. Your Bitcoin is not likely a to be hacked through classical computing attacks. However, there is a 15% chance quantum computing will render bitcoins current encryption methodology vulnerable. So if you are looking at a time frame of 7-15 years, then yes. That is when the risk of loss in Bitcoin may increase. Financial and governmental institutions are already making preparations because of the infrastructural necessities of post quantum security.
