#Strategy加仓BTC 🔥 Russian pension holders ignite a crypto craze—why are 37 million retirees suddenly paying attention to digital assets?



This year, Russia’s social security department received an unexpected wave of applications: over 37 million retirees proactively inquiring about managing their retirement funds through cryptocurrency channels. Even more interesting, many of them are using their spare time to mine themselves, treating $BTC as an additional source of passive income.

📊 What does this signify?

Traditional pension funds face inflationary pressure—this is no secret. As savings shrink and digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum gain institutional recognition worldwide, the elderly naturally become curious. They are no longer labeled as "tech-averse," but instead are actively learning about mining logic, wallet management, and on-chain yields.

Staking rewards on $ETH, diversified opportunities within the $BNB ecosystem—these terms, once only circulated among young retail investors, have now become everyday topics for retirees. When grandparents start calculating whether mining income will affect their pension amounts, you realize: the crypto world is no longer a fringe culture but has permeated the most traditional and conservative financial systems.

💡 Key observations:

From intergenerational divides to nationwide participation, from speculation to inflation hedging, this shift reflects profound changes in the global economic landscape. The collision between pension systems and decentralized finance is rewriting the definition of "who is suitable for crypto." The next adoption cycle may very well start here.
BTC-0,85%
ETH-1,04%
BNB-1,5%
