Russia Faces Challenges in Selling Seized Bitcoin
2025-04-02 20:03:00 Primitive Reading

　The country is in the process of establishing legal frameworks for managing confiscated digital assets. The focus is on a high-profile case involving Marat Tambiev, a former official who was convicted of accepting cryptocurrency bribes. Tambiev, who previously served as the head of the Investigative Committee for the Tverskoy District, received 1,032.1 BTC in 2023, which was valued at around $28 million at the time. Despite facing difficulties in legally selling the seized Bitcoin, the government is working with other entities to develop a process for converting confiscated crypto into revenue. While Russia is progressing with its plans, it remains cautious, with Deputy Finance Minister Vladimir Kolychev stating that the country has no plans to include cryptocurrency in its national reserves due to concerns about Bitcoin's volatility and unpredictable market movements.
