GOLD Hits Record $3,000 

Alright, everyone, let’s talk about gold today. Ever since the U.S. started discussing an audit of its reserves, gold prices have been climbing. Now, with Trump’s trade war in full swing, the world is beginning to turn away from the dollar and U.S. bonds—great news for gold demand. We’ve reached a critical moment: gold has doubled in value over the past five years and now sits at $3,000 an ounce. Prices may see a slight correction after such a strong rally, but history has been made, and the long-term momentum remains intact.

Meanwhile, a U.S. court is looking to seize China’s assets, and the EU is exploring ways to use Russia’s frozen funds. The financial system’s weaponization is far from over. Putin will demand his money back, but do you really think Europe will return it? Highly unlikely. On top of that, with heavy U.S. tariffs on China, Beijing is no longer buying U.S. bonds—in fact, they’re likely offloading their holdings.

According to analysts, gold is expected to hit $3,100 an ounce by the end of 2025, meaning there’s still some room for further gains. It’s remarkable that while U.S. stocks are in freefall, gold bullion remains strong—another sign that the world is shifting toward a neutral asset beyond U.S. government control. Even Trump recognized gold’s value long before becoming president. Why do you think he wanted to audit Fort Knox? He genuinely wanted to know if the gold was still there.

Trump has also leased the 50th floor of 40 Wall Street for 10 years to APMEX (American Precious Metals Exchange) and accepted three 32-ounce gold bars as a security deposit. Meanwhile, we all know what’s happening to the dollar—it’s in decline, driven by poor policies and a lack of sound economic strategy. This situation is an opportunity to wake people up to the dollar’s fragility and push for change.

As gold prices rise and the debt crisis worsens, the U.S. will be forced to make a choice: Will they revalue gold to buy themselves some breathing room? Because whether it’s Trump in office or another president, the debt train isn’t stopping—it’s headed straight for the wall. We’ve long passed the point of no return.

In just the first five months of fiscal year 2025, the deficit hit a staggering $1.15 trillion—38% higher than the same period the year before. If Trump doesn’t bring interest rates down quickly, he’ll be facing a full-blown debt tsunami, one that could drown the U.S. economy as the supply of bonds spirals out of control.

Trump's Trapped The Economy

There’s a lot of speculation about why Trump is steering the economy toward a recession. He continues to deny it’s happening—perhaps he’s genuinely unaware, or maybe he knows that he must bring interest rates down at all costs. And here’s why:

In 2025, over $9 trillion of U.S. debt will need to be refinanced—that’s more than 25% of all U.S. government bonds. Trump has no choice but to push for lower interest rates, but the Federal Reserve isn’t willing to cooperate. Meanwhile, issuing long-term bonds isn’t an option without risking an economic meltdown, so the government will be forced to rely on short-term Treasury bills, which currently carry rates above 4.2%. The national debt simply cannot sustain this burden.

Despite this, Trump can’t stop deficit spending. His aggressive trade policies are already backfiring on the U.S. economy, and his tax cuts will only add to the financial strain. If you think tariff revenue will offset the deficit, think again. To extend Trump’s tax cuts, the U.S. government will need to borrow at least $4.6 trillion over the next decade—some estimates suggest the figure could exceed $10 trillion. Even under the most optimistic trade war scenario, tariff revenue from China, Mexico, and Canada would bring in only $11.3 trillion, leaving a massive $3.3 trillion shortfall over the next 10 years.

Trump cannot afford to borrow that much at today’s interest rates, especially with inflation likely to rebound due to the ongoing trade war. This is where gold revaluation could come into play.

Let’s make a bold assumption: Suppose all the gold in Fort Knox and West Point is still there. I know, that’s a laughable idea to some—but if the gold is intact, revaluing it is one of the few strategic options left for the U.S. Treasury. It’s a powerful financial lever they could pull.

So, how much gold does the U.S. actually have? If there hasn’t been a massive cover-up, the country should still hold about 8,133 tons. However, this significantly underestimates the reserves of China and Russia—who, for now, are keeping their true holdings a secret. If the U.S. moves to revalue its gold, China might just decide to reveal its own reserves in response.

If the U.S. were to unlock the value of its gold, it would result in a sudden windfall for the government’s balance sheet—an enormous financial boost that could be leveraged immediately.

U.S. Gold Revaluation Plan

Among all the central banks in the world, the U.S. stands out by holding 74% of its total reserves in gold. Unlike other countries, it has limited assets to monetize on its balance sheet. That leaves only three options: issuing more bonds, printing more money, or revaluing its gold reserves. The first two come with major risks, making gold revaluation a viable last resort.

How Does a Gold Revaluation Work?

The process is straightforward: the U.S. government revalues its gold reserves to reflect the real market price. Since 1971, the U.S. has refused to mark its gold holdings to market value—but that may be about to change.

Currently, the U.S. holds approximately 261 million ounces of gold, but it is officially valued at just $42 per ounce, giving it a paper worth of only $1 billion—a severely outdated and suppressed valuation. However, because this gold is owned by the U.S. Treasury, the government can simply reprice it to match today’s market value of $3,000 per ounce, just as many other countries—including China, Russia, and those in Europe—already do.

If Trump takes this step, the value of U.S. gold reserves would skyrocket by at least $750 billion, instantly providing Scott Besson and the U.S. government with three-quarters of a trillion dollars in liquidity—a massive financial buffer to address economic challenges.

Why Does This Matter?

This sudden injection of capital would be crucial at a time when Trump is aggressively cutting federal jobs and trying to limit new bond issuance. He understands the severity of the debt crisis, and Doge's rise is just a symptom of the broader economic instability.

By unlocking nearly $1 trillion in liquidity, the Treasury would gain breathing room to slow down bond issuance. This is key because of the delicate relationship between Treasury prices and yields:

• If the government issues too many Treasuries, the excess supply can overwhelm demand, driving down bond prices and pushing yields higher—which, in turn, destabilizes the economy.

• What the U.S. needs right now is for yields to decline naturally. However, current yield collapses indicate the economy is already on the brink of recession.

If Trump and Besson gain this extra liquidity, they have two immediate options:

1. Use the funds to stimulate the economy by covering liabilities, paying salaries, and reducing the need to issue new Treasuries. This would boost demand for existing bonds, drive yields down, and lower borrowing costs.

2. Use the money to reduce the national debt, trimming the $36 trillion burden down to $35 trillion or lower.

Gold revaluation could be one of the most powerful financial moves available to the U.S.—and if executed correctly, it might buy the government much-needed time to navigate the current economic crisis.

Gold Flooding Into the U.S.

This could be one of the last major financial moves the U.S. has left—especially as Trump pushes to restore manufacturing. With interest rates already high and energy and labor costs soaring, the situation is becoming increasingly difficult. But does the U.S. even have the gold reserves to back such a move?

Recent gold inflows suggest something unusual is happening. Thanks to Trump’s tariffs, gold is flowing into the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. In January alone, over $30 billion worth of gold entered the country. The majority of these transactions are private, making it unclear who the buyers are. Could it be the U.S. government itself, quietly restocking its reserves under plausible deniability?

Global central banks have already been aggressively buying gold to reduce their reliance on the U.S. dollar. It’s not impossible that the Federal Reserve is secretly stockpiling gold, preparing for a financial shift. A key indicator of this is the record-high gold inventory at COMEX, which now holds nearly 40 million ounces. Since withdrawals from COMEX are private—only the volume of contracts is disclosed, not the buyers’ names—it’s entirely possible that the U.S. Treasury is rebuilding its reserves in secret.

Why? Because a financial reckoning is on the horizon.

Gold at $3,000: A Warning Sign

Gold hitting $3,000 per ounce isn’t just a milestone—it’s a reflection of geopolitical instability, a weakening dollar, and growing economic fears. The rising price increases the likelihood of a gold revaluation, a move that could inject trillions into the U.S. economy.

Adding to the tension is Trump’s 100% tariff threat against BRICS nations. If this happens, the economic impact could be devastating:

• China’s GDP could shrink by over 1.5% in a worst-case scenario.

• India, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa would also face severe economic blows.

Faced with these threats, BRICS nations are unlikely to expose themselves to the weaponized U.S. financial system. Do you really think they’ll continue buying U.S. Treasuries today, only to be punished tomorrow?

Scott Besson Exposes the Truth

Even Scott Besson, the current Treasury Secretary, understands the weaponization of the U.S. financial system. Before taking office, Besson was a hedge fund manager for George Soros—someone deeply familiar with financial power plays. He also recognizes the importance of gold, especially at a time when global trust in the U.S. is eroding.

One wake-up call came during a conversation with a veteran French consultant. The consultant pointed out that while the U.S. had sanctioned Venezuela, Russia, and Iran, it had now extended its financial influence to France itself through the dollar. The massive fines on BNP Paribas forced even U.S. allies to reconsider their reliance on the American financial system.

And then there’s Russia’s frozen reserves—which Besson openly admitted might never be returned. This is a massive red flag for the rest of the world. If even a major power like Russia can have its assets seized, who’s next?

Gold’s Future: $5,000? $10,000?

In the long run, whether the U.S. officially revalues gold or not, its price will continue to climb. When we zoom out, gold has already outperformed the S&P 500 over the past 20 years—a clear sign that the U.S. economy is no longer as dominant as it once was.

The productive capacity of the United States is losing to a simple yellow metal. Over the next decade or two, we could see gold hit $5,000 or even $10,000 per ounce—something that once seemed impossible but is now within reach.

So what do you think? Will the U.S. revalue its gold holdings? How soon before gold hits $4,000 an ounce? Let me know in the comments below!
