Doubts About Fort Knox Gold Reserves

America claims to securely store over half of its 8,000-tonne gold reserve behind Fort Knox’s 22-ton doors — but the last full audit was in 1953. FOIA-obtained records show that audits since 1974 have been plagued by destroyed assay reports, unverified bars, and mysteriously reopened vaults, leading to much speculation.

Germany’s Repatriation and Lack of Transparency

In 2012, Germany requested 300 tonnes of its gold from the NY Fed. It took four years to deliver — after the Fed initially said it would take seven years to return the gold. When the gold finally did arrive in Germany, much of it had been recast and returned without the original serial numbers, making verification impossible. Similar concerns arose with gold repatriations by other countries from both the U.S. and the London gold centers — all of which lacked transparency or independent audits. Many suspect the repatriated gold was not the original metal — or worse, that U.S. Fort Knox reserves were used to replace the repatriated gold. Why? Because the original bars may have already been sold into the markets.

Origin of the Gold and Currency Manipulation

The Fort Knox gold originated from confiscations under FDR’s Executive Order 6102 (1933) and was later placed under the control of the U.S. Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) via the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, which specifically empowers the Treasury to sell gold to manipulate currency exchange rates. For decades, gold appears to have been sold or leased into markets to prop up the value of fiat currency.

Trump and Musk Call for a Full Audit

Now, figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk are demanding a full audit of Fort Knox. They aim to weaken the dollar, stimulate U.S. manufacturing, decrease trade deficits, and inflate the real cost of government debt — thus making interest payments more manageable. If all the gold isn’t at Fort Knox — or even if just a small portion is missing — the entire fiat system could collapse and restructure overnight. As history teaches, in a trust-based fiat currency system, trust can shatter suddenly. Trump and Musk may even welcome a scenario in which the dollar loses over half its current exchange rate.

Repricing Gold and the U.S. Balance Sheet

If the gold is still at Fort Knox, then repricing it from the official price of $42/oz to something closer to the market price, or even much higher, would strengthen the asset side of the U.S. balance sheet. This would enable Trump to expand debt further and make debt interest payments more sustainable.

Monetary Shift Appears Imminent

With gold recently flowing from London and Switzerland into the U.S., and with trade wars escalating, it seems all but certain that a major monetary shift lies ahead.

A Call to Japanese Investors

Our founder suggests that before a Fort Knox audit sparks panic buying of gold and silver, Japanese investors should have a higher percentage of their assets in physical silver and gold — and a lower percentage in paper promises, securities, and fiat currencies. Of course, we could be biased. The founder also believes that, whether or not a Fort Knox audit causes panic, a shortage in physical gold and silver is likely.
