Russia’s government and central bank (the Bank of Russia) advocate for two opposite approaches to regulating cryptocurrencies in general and Bitcoin mining in particular.


The Bank of Russia has issued a proposal to prohibit mining in the territory of the Russian Federation, while Russia’s government offers a more moderate strategy regarding taxing and regulating this market.



  • The first major reason for Putin’s adoption of a more moderate view is the desire to rationally utilize the existing surplus of electricity that currently exists in northern regions of the country.Thus, Bitcoin mining is probably being restricted to several northern areas
  • The second reason is Russia’s government’s promotion of innovations and technologies that are consistent with its national interests.President Putin and Russia’s officials implore the country’s competitive advantage in the sphere of Bitcoin mining that may be preserved for the following years
  • The third reason is the potential growth of government revenues in the form of Bitcoin mining taxes that can be collected from mining companies.Despite the presence of indirect evidence on the final decision on mining regulation, the official position of President Putin refers to encouraging the dialogue between Russia’s government and central bank regarding legal and regulatory approaches to Bitcoin mining.


As indicated by Vitaliy Borschenko, one of the corporate heads of Russian mining organization BitCluster, the greater part of Russia's offices is against revolutionary estimates that might bring about Bitcoin mining restriction. Extra legitimate, political, and corporate conversations are normal inside the next weeks to show up at an agreement in regards to the coordination of government and financial matters in this circle. The most probable arrangement alludes to the conservation of mining exercises in Russia however with the developing government control and management in this area. An extensive extent of Russia's labor force is likewise at present utilized in mining firms, along these lines influencing the levels and design of work in the country.


Russia currently ranks third in the world in terms of crypto mining capabilities, trailing only the United States and Kazakhstan. The final political resolution of the Bitcoin mining issue in Russia, as well as official declarations made by Russian authorities, may have a direct impact on the crypto market and Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies prices.
