Within the US Treasury's ledger lies a financial secret that has remained inactive for fifty years.
2.615 billion ounces of gold, with an official book value of only $11 billion—this figure is based on the 1973 pricing standard of $42.22 per ounce. But reality is far more complex.
Current gold prices have already approached $4,500 per ounce. In another perspective, the actual value of this gold has surpassed $1.1 trillion. Between the book value and the market price, there is a huge gap of $1 trillion. This is not just theoretical; it is a real, frozen liquidity bomb on the balance sheet.
Once this potential value is activated, the consequences could be systemic. Imagine what would happen if a trillion-level liquidity suddenly floods into the market—asset prices would likely surge violently, and the pattern of global capital flows would be completely reshaped. This is not a prediction but an objective mathematical fact.
Even releasing only 10% of this value would trigger a chain reaction powerful enough to shake markets: US stocks could see a new wave of strong gains, the dollar credit system could be directly supported, and the landscape of global capital flows might be fundamentally rewritten.
While most are still debating whether the Federal Reserve will continue to adjust interest rate policies, the real game-changing chips have long been in the Treasury’s reports. And these reports have remained unchanged for fifty years.
The question now is: have you considered this possibility in your asset allocation? What is your strategy before the potential liquidity tsunami arrives?

yo this is basically the fed's zero-knowledge proof that they've been cooking the books for 50 years... imagine if we applied proof-of-freshness to their balance sheet lmao

Wow, this logic is really amazing. The dollar is printed excessively, yet gold is still calculated at the 73-year price. This accounting itself is a joke.

10 trillion dollar pit, the US government took 50 years to realize it, it’s hilarious to me

If the gold ban is really lifted, BTC will have to shake a bit
---
$4,500 per ounce? Then I need to reevaluate my portfolio...
---
Wait, do they really plan to move that money? It doesn’t seem like the US would play such a game easily
---
So holding physical assets is the real deal
---
Can this logic be extended to crypto? It feels a bit forced
---
11 trillion dollar liquidity bomb? Then the US stock market is about to take off
---
Fifty years without updating the accounts, how confident must they be
---
Why do I feel like this is a "wolf coming" story

Wow, a trillion-dollar gray area... No wonder institutions are hoarding gold, and we're still debating whether BTC will go up or down.
