In what is a major surprise for both the country and the asset class, Russia’s central bank has reported that Bitcoin is a top-performing asset in 2025. Specifically, the country recently published a new analysis from its regulators that called BTC the most profitable investment for Moscow over the past year.
According to the published report, Bitcoin officially outperformed traditional investment assets like gold and stocks. That appears to be a trend that could begin to take root in 2025. Specifically, JPMorgan projected that the leading cryptocurrency would outperform gold within the second half of 2025.

Russia Says Bitcoin is Top Investment in 2025 Amid Crypto Shift
Throughout the first few months of the year, cryptocurrencies have catapulted themselves into global finance discourse. The United States has implemented its first pro-crypto regime with the return of President Donald Trump. Moreover, they are expected to implement their very first Bitcoin reserve in their second term in office.
That has led to a push on a global level, with the UK collaborating with the US to boost overall adoption. They aren’t the only nations that have noted increased success and embraced the asset class. Indeed, Russia’s central bank has recently reported that Bitcoin is a top-performing asset in 2025.

The country’s central bank published a new analysis that shows BTC brought a 38% return over the last 12 months. Moreover, that left it boasting a higher return than assets like stocks, bonds, and even gold. Additionally, the Moscow regulator noted that this is a trend that extends over several years.
Within the report, they note that from 2022, Bitcoin’s cumulative return stands at 121.3%. However, they did note that there has been a volatility issue with the leading crypto. Specifically, they made note of Bitcoin’s 18.6% drop that took place in the first four months of 2025.
Yet, Bitcoin has bounced back in a big way. Over the last 30 days, BTC has jumped more than 22%, according to CoinMarketCap. Moreover, it has recently reclaimed the $102,000 level and is maintaining that position. There is no denying that its strength and value as an investment asset should be championed by nations across the globe.
