#ChinaUSTreasuryHoldings18YearLow 📉The Asian giant keeps dumping the dollar
China reduced its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds to $651.1 billion in April, the lowest level since September 2008 (the month of the Lehman Brothers collapse). This marks three consecutive months of reductions.
📊 Key Numbers
Country U.S. Debt Holdings
Japan $1.21 trillion
United Kingdom $937.5 billion
China $651.1 billion (18-year low)
China is now the third-largest foreign holder of U.S. debt.
🔍 Why is China selling?
1. Geopolitical Tension – The U.S.-Iran war and the fragility of the peace agreement raise concerns about global stagflation. China is protecting itself from an asset so tied to the U.S. economy.
2. Crisis of Confidence in the Fed – Kevin Warsh's first meeting was perceived as more hawkish than expected. The market fears that the Fed's independence may be compromised.
3. Diversification Strategy – China has been buying gold relentlessly: it increased its reserves for 19 consecutive months until May 2026, reaching 74.96 million ounces.
🌍 What does this mean for the crypto market?
· Long Term: Dollarization is a tailwind for Bitcoin, which positions itself as a neutral asset amid geopolitical tensions.
· Short Term: A massive bond sell-off elevates yields, making credit more expensive, strengthening the dollar, and reducing liquidity for risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
Gold has already surpassed U.S. Treasury bonds as the leading global reserve asset for the first time in 2025 (increased from 16% to 27% market share). The trend is clear: central banks are diversifying.
Do you think Bitcoin will benefit from de-dollarization, or will the strengthening dollar stall the rally? 👇
