China is relentlessly dumping billions of dollars in US Treasuries while accumulating a massive amount of gold.
New numbers from the Treasury Department show China’s holdings of US Treasury securities fell from $732.7 billion in June to $688.7 billion in October, a reduction of $44 billion in just five months.
This marks the lowest level since 2008, reflecting ongoing diversification efforts amid US-China tensions.
Simultaneously, the People’s Bank of China extended its gold-buying streak to 13 months through November 2025, adding about 26 tonnes year-to-date.
Official reserves have reached 2,305 tonnes, up from 2,279 tonnes at the end of 2024.
China’s confirmed gold stockpile is now worth about $322 billion.
Analysts estimate actual purchases could be significantly higher, potentially exceeding 250 tonnes, as the nation bolsters alternatives to the dollar.
This shift aligns with BRICS goals to reduce reliance on US debt, with rising geopolitical risks and US fiscal deficits driving the move.
Gold prices shattered records above $4,370 per ounce in 2025 and are now trading at about $4,366 at time of publishing.
