$PAXG The United States remains comfortably in the lead when it comes to gold.
About 8,133 tons held at Fort Knox and other reserves 🏰
This figure hasn't really changed for decades. Some call it stability, others might call it stagnation.
Let's now look at China.
By the end of 2025, China's gold reserves will reach about 2,306 tons, according to official data.
What stands out is the pace:
China bought gold for 14 consecutive months in 2025, officially adding about 27 tons last year 🔥
A few years ago, reserves were closer to 1,900 tons. The acceleration is hard to ignore.
And there is more. $XAU
At the same time that China is reducing its holdings of US Treasury bonds, now close to their lowest levels since 2008 (around 680 billion dollars),
she has gradually increased her physical gold holdings.
This combination sends a fairly clear message about de-dollarization.
So here is the big question:
Are we witnessing the early stages of a long-term shift in the power of global reserves? $BTC
Or is the US lead, with a gap of over 5,800 tons, still too great to be seriously challenged?
Curious to know how you see it.
Is China closing the gap faster than expected, or is the advantage of US gold still untouchable? 📈💭
