Asteroid mining is still a ways off in the future. Hell mining helium 3 on the moon is more feasible than mining an asteroid right now.

The best we can do with asteroids (right now) is land on one the less dense ones and get a sample off of it and back to Earth. That is still very tricky and prone to failure. Safely moving an asteroid into a stable earth orbit to mine it is still beyond our practical abilities. It is something that could in theory be done in using current technology but theory and real world application are two very different animals.


Also your quadrillion dollar asteroids will no longer be worth a quadrillion dollars once the rare materials from it come to Earth. Certain rare materials are only super expensive because they are rare and hard to find on the Earth in large amounts.
