๐จ SHOCKING UPDATE: Putinโs Gold Sell-Off Is Draining Russiaโs War Chest ๐ท๐บ๐ฐ
Russian media is finally admitting what many suspected for years. Over the last 3 years, Putin has sold nearly 71% of Russiaโs gold reserves held in the National Wealth Fund.
In May 2022, the fund held 554.9 tons of gold.
As of January 1, 2026, that number has collapsed to just 160.2 tons, now parked in anonymous Central Bank accounts. ๐ณ
Today, the National Wealth Fundโs total liquid assets โ gold + yuan โ sit at only 4.1 trillion rubles. Analysts are warning that if oil prices and the ruble stay flat, Russia may be forced to drain another 60% of whatโs left this year โ roughly 2.5 trillion rubles.
This isnโt just accounting data.
This is Russiaโs financial safety net shrinking fast.
Less money for infrastructure.
Less room for social spending.
Less flexibility for military operations.
The real question now isnโt if the pressure builds โ itโs how long Moscow can keep spending before the reserves hit dangerous levels โ ๏ธ๐ฅ
