Interesting listing for Canada.
I’m surprised, I figured it was China.
No gold in Israel?
They mine gold in Canada...
Now do Frankincense and Myrrh.
The number for Russia is outdated. Russia has run her reserves to prosecute the war with Ukraine.
The nation with the most gold reserves is, unsurprisingly, the USA. Their total is by far the largest of all the nations on our list, holding 4,000 tonnes more than second-place Germany, but this total is subject to concerns and criticism.
The first problem is accuracy. Documents pertaining to the authenticity of gold bullion held in both New York and at Fort Knox has either gone missing or been destroyed. Rules introduced in 1974 were supposed to mean a one-time check of all America’s bullion, but gold has been found to have been accessed and potentially tampered with since that inspection.
The second is the consideration of foreign gold holdings. The US, like Britain, France and Switzerland, has often been a safe haven for gold bullion reserves in times of civil or national conflict. There are those who believe that America’s reserve total also includes Germany’s national gold reserves (amongst others) which, until repatriation in 2013, were held in New York.
The final part is purity. With much of the US gold reserves from older acquisitions, some experts believe the United States holdings are not fine quality bullion and that, were they melted down and remade into 24-carat bars, the total holding would come down dramatically.
UK long ton [tonne] = 1.12 US short ton
8133 tonnes = 9108.96 tons or 265,378,000 troy ounces X $4031.08 [ gold spot] = $1,069,759,945,240 [ value of gold held by the US ].
It’s in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills, in somebody else’s name.

“Gold Holdings: Official vs. Private
As of late 2025 (end-Q3 data, with estimates for October), the total above-ground gold stock—representing all gold ever mined that remains in existence—is approximately 219,000 tonnes. This figure accounts for cumulative mining output through September 2025, plus an estimated addition for October based on annual production trends.
• Government (official reserves): Central banks and governments hold about 38,400 tonnes (roughly 17.5% of total above-ground stocks). This includes net purchases of 634 tonnes year-to-date through Q3 2025, building on 37,755 tonnes at end-2024.
• Private holdings: The remaining 180,600 tonnes (about 82.5% of total above-ground stocks). This encompasses jewelry (~45% of total), physical investment bars/coins/ETFs (~22%), industrial uses, and other non-official categories.
In direct comparison, privately held gold is approximately 4.7 times the amount held by all governments combined. Official reserves represent a minority of the global gold supply, with private demand (especially in jewelry and investment) dominating the market.”
It would be interesting to get a sense of how much gold the average person holds, and where. I bet India and China would blow the US (and the west in general) away with their individual holdings.
It doesn’t help when our government confiscates the stuff.
“I Cubic Foot of Gold would weigh 548.18 Kilograms or 1206 pounds”

When they spell ‘tons’ the American way, perhaps I’ll bother reading their stupid article.
Thanks
