Gold hit a record $4,000/oz in 2025, boosting Russia’s reserves to $302B despite sanctions.
Gold prices hit a record above $4,000 an ounce in 2025, boosting Russia’s gold reserves—now valued at over $302 billion and the sixth-largest globally—despite sanctions.
Russia, which has steadily built its holdings since 2006 and accelerated purchases after 2014, recently sold about three tonnes, likely for coin production.
The surge is driven by geopolitical tensions, weakening U.S. dollar strength, falling interest rate expectations, and increased demand from central banks like China and retail investors via ETFs.
The U.S. holds the world’s largest reserve, worth over $1 trillion, while global economic uncertainty and debt concerns are expected to sustain gold’s appeal.
