US gold reserves stay strong

Gold’s importance as a strategic asset contributes to its overall lustre — particularly in the US, where the government maintains the largest gold reserves of any country in the world, with 8,113.5 tonnes as of July 2021. That’s more than double the reserves of second-placed Germany, which holds 3,359.1 tonnes.

The size of US reserves underscores that gold continues to be an integral part of the nation’s economic arsenal.
