The Bitcoin Historian claimed Thursday that Russia’s central bank had confirmed people may use self-custodied Bitcoin (BTC) wallets for international payments. The post also said Russians can send BTC abroad while keeping control of their holdings. The claim links cross-border transfers with users retaining their own BTC. The post presented both points as part of the central bank’s position, but did not identify a specific rule or explain how payments would be processed. The account’s statement concerns Bitcoin payments sent beyond Russia and the ability to keep the assets in self-custody.
