Russia proposes to create a Bitcoin reserve

State Duma deputy from the New People faction Anton Tkachev proposed that the Russian Ministry of Finance create a strategic reserve of Bitcoin (BTC).

According to Tkachev, the strategic bitcoin reserve will help Russia to strengthen financial stability in the face of sanctions.

Geopolitical situation and the need for innovation

State Duma deputy Anton Tkachev from the New People party sent an official appeal to the head of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, Anton Siluanov. The official proposes to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

“I ask you, dear Anton Germanovich, to evaluate the feasibility of creating a strategic bitcoin reserve in Russia by analogy with state reserves in traditional currencies. If this initiative is approved, I ask you to submit it to the government of the Russian Federation for further implementation,” the letter says.

Tkachev noted that such traditional currency reserves as the US dollar, euro and yuan can no longer guarantee Russia’s financial security. With the global economy facing rising inflation risks, currencies used in international trade have become vulnerable.

In the face of threats, the deputy proposes that the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation look for more reliable and independent instruments for storing state reserves. In his opinion, Bitcoin (BTC) could be an excellent option.

“Modern challenges entail the need to introduce not only new payment systems, but also alternative instruments for storing reserves that do not depend on individual countries,” the official noted.

Tkachev emphasized the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency – the asset is not subordinate to any one country or government. Unlike traditional currencies, which can be subject to sanctions or devaluation, Bitcoin offers benefits to protect financial stability, the official said.

“In January 2020, its cost was 10 thousand dollars. Despite attempts to discredit and devalue the cryptocurrency, its value is steadily growing. In January 2022, about 40 thousand dollars. In December 2024, its cost was already 100 thousand dollars. This makes Bitcoin not only a store of value, but also an opportunity for significant profit,” he added.

US President-elect Donald Trump previously announced the creation of a Bitcoin reserve. Later they thought about the same initiative in Brazil.
