China has reduced its U.S. Treasury holdings to their lowest point in 18 years, now sitting near $682.6B, far below previous peak levels. Beijing has also slipped to third place among top holders, behind Japan and the UK. 🤔
At the same time, the People’s Bank of China is aggressively accumulating gold, pushing reserves past 2,300 tonnes and extending a buying streak that’s lasted over a year. 🟡📈
This isn’t random portfolio adjustment — it’s strategic de-dollarization in motion.
For decades, China recycled trade surpluses into U.S. debt because it was liquid, stable, and dollar-based. That model is now shifting. Geopolitics has changed the risk equation: holding foreign sovereign debt increasingly looks like exposure, not safety. ⚡️
Gold changes the rules.
It can’t be frozen, sanctioned, or digitally blocked — physical bullion in domestic vaults carries no external control risk. 🏦✨
For the U.S., this trend signals weakening structural demand for Treasuries while deficits keep expanding.
For gold, consistent central-bank buying creates a long-term support base under prices.
And for the crypto narrative, it strengthens the global hard-asset thesis — though Bitcoin still needs sovereign-level trust adoption before that vision fully materializes.
⚠️ Note: Official Treasury data may not fully reflect China’s exposure due to holdings routed through foreign custodial accounts.
