๐จ SHOCKING UPDATE: Russiaโs Gold Sell-Off! ๐ท๐บ๐ฐ
Russian media reveals a harsh truth: Over the past 3 years, Putin has sold nearly 71% of Russiaโs gold in the National Wealth Fund.
May 2022: 554.9 tons of gold
Jan 1, 2026: just 160.2 tons leftโkept in anonymous Central Bank accounts ๐ณ
The fundโs total liquid assets (gold + yuan) now stand at 4.1 trillion rubles. Analysts warn: if oil prices & the ruble remain steady, another 60% of the remaining fund (~2.5 trillion rubles) could be withdrawn this year, leaving dangerously thin reserves. โ ๏ธ
๐ฅ Why it matters:
Russiaโs financial safety net is shrinking fast
Potential impact on infrastructure, social programs & military operations
The big question: how long can Moscow sustain spending before reserves run dry?
Verified facts:
โ Russiaโs National Wealth Fund has seen a large decrease in gold holdings (e.g., from ~554.9 tons to ~160+ tons reported by some outlets). ๏ฟฝ
โ The Russian Central Bank has begun direct sales of physical gold from reserves to help plug budget gaps, which marks a policy shift. ๏ฟฝ
โ Analysts and reporting show that foreign currency and gold sales from the fund have increased sharply as energy revenues fell. ๏ฟฝ
