- The Russian government is exploring the creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve to enhance the country’s financial stability amid economic sanctions and global financial unpredictability.
- Russia argues a Bitcoin reserve is immune to international sanctions and offers an alternative to traditional currency reserves that are subject to inflation and geopolitical pressures.
- Russia’s leadership has shown increasing openness toward cryptocurrencies. The country has legalized Bitcoin mining and cryptocurrency usage, and is experimenting with cross-border crypto payments.
- The proposal comes with risks, including Bitcoin’s price volatility and the decentralized nature of the cryptocurrency, which limits government control.
- If realized, Russia’s Bitcoin reserve could signal a shift away from traditional financial systems towards a decentralized future, potentially influencing other countries to consider incorporating cryptocurrencies into their financial strategies.
(Natural News)—In a move that could reshape the global financial landscape, Russia is considering creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
The proposal was put forward by State Duma Deputy Anton Tkachev of the opposition New People party. This initiative aims to bolster Russia’s financial stability in the face of an increasingly hostile economic environment, particularly in light of international sanctions.
Tkachev has submitted a proposal to Russian Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov proposing the creation of a national Bitcoin reserve that acts similarly to other traditional currency reserves. Tkachev argues that traditional reserves, such as the dollar, euro and yuan, are subject to inflation and the whims of international sanctions.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a decentralized, digital currency that operates outside the control of any single nation, offering a new and independent alternative. (Related: Plunder capitalism: Is the Bitcoin strategic reserve trial balloon the next step in the great American land grab?)
Kremlin’s interest in Bitcoin has been growing amid sanctions
The Russian government’s interest in Bitcoin is not new. In recent years, Russia has shown increasing openness toward cryptocurrencies.
President Vladimir Putin, who once expressed skepticism about Bitcoin, now views it as an “unstoppable technology” with significant potential. Last year, Putin even signed a law that legalizes Bitcoin mining and the use of cryptocurrencies within the country.
The Central Bank of Russia is already experimenting with cross-border payments in cryptocurrencies, reflecting a growing interest in blockchain-based financial systems. A strategic Bitcoin reserve would build on this trend, allowing Russia to participate more fully in the global cryptocurrency economy.
By including Bitcoin in its reserves, Russia can diversify its economic portfolio and reduce its dependence on traditional financial systems. This move could position Russia as a leader in the emerging blockchain economy.
However, the proposal also comes with risks. Bitcoin’s price can be highly volatile, and its decentralized nature means that no government or central bank can control its value. For a country like Russia, which has a history of financial instability, the idea of relying on a cryptocurrency known for its volatility might seem counterintuitive.
If Russia proceeds with its plan to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve, the implications could be far-reaching. For Russia, it could be a bold step towards financial independence and stability. For the global economy, it could signal a shift away from traditional financial systems and towards a more decentralized, blockchain-based future.
However, this move also risks drawing attention from international bodies like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, which may view it as a challenge to the existing global financial order. Russia’s experiment with Bitcoin reserves could set a precedent that others may follow, potentially reshaping the way countries manage their finances.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
