Russia mining FAQ
Is Bitcoin mining legal in Russia?+
Yes at federal level, and it was formally regulated in 2024, but several regions apply seasonal restrictions during peak power demand. Separately, sanctions and export controls make importing mining hardware into Russia substantially harder than into other markets, a logistics and compliance question rather than an economic one.
