According to Bitcoin.com, Vasily Girya, CEO of mining data center operator GIS Mining, stated at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2025) that according to its statistics, as of the first half of 2025, it is expected that the total value of cryptocurrency assets held by Russian citizens and institutions will exceed 2 trillion rubles (approximately 25.4 billion US dollars). Data shows that, driven by energy advantages and policy incentives, institutional investors in the country are continuously expanding the scale of Bitcoin mining orders, and industrial grade mining facilities are accelerating their expansion.
Analysts point out that this growth reflects Russia's view of cryptocurrency as a strategic investment category, strengthening its global mining position through low-cost electricity. Despite the fluctuating international regulatory environment, the country's institutions still have a positive outlook on the long-term return potential of digital assets, and major financial groups are systematically increasing their allocation of cryptocurrency assets.
