Is it possible to create a PGP public key of an Bitcoin Adress?

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

This is entirely possible, as all a Bitcoin address is is a string of numbers. I'm not sure why you would want to do this though.

Yes but the key length of a bitcoin public/private key pair is relatively short, so it may not provide as much security.

Definitely, but the actual size of a bitcoin public and private key pair is not long at all, so i struggle to see how this will provide the security that your looking for
