In these weekly columns, we have frequently discussed the idea that the U.S. is planning to revalue its official gold reserves. Recent news suggests that the revaluation could be coming sooner than most expect and likely in 2026.
Let's start with some background. If you're a regular visitor to Sprott Money, you'll likely recall these posts from February and March of this year. The links below offer a good refresher, regardless:
Buy Silver And Gold For Inflation Hedge
The most recent hubbub came from an unusual report issued two weeks ago by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Unusual in that The Palace of Fiat would even acknowledge the existence of gold as anything other than a barbarous relic. Here's a link to the brief report with the opening paragraph shown below:
Gold Price Revaluation And Bitcoin Reserve
Some have speculated that this official revaluation will be utilized to pay down and retire some of the $37T in U.S. federal debt, and maybe it will. However, far more likely is a revaluation for the purpose of funding President Trump's Sovereign Wealth and/or Bitcoin Reserve funds. Revaluing the official U.S. gold reserves from $42.22/ounce to the current market price of $3400 would "create" nearly $800B in what would be termed "debt neutral" cash, and that $800B would be used to finance Trump's funds.
Think that's crazy? You're sorely mistaken. In fact, pending Congressional legislation regarding the creation of a "National Bitcoin Reserve" openly states that the cash to be utilized for acquiring the Bitcoin will come from a revaluation of the U.S. gold reserves. It's right there in the bills! See for yourself!
How To Buy Gold And Silver Before Revaluation
Both bills will be debated and, if moved forward, will be voted upon, reconciled, voted upon again, and then sent to President Trump for his signature. This is a long process and one that is likely to carry over into 2026 before final passage. But it's what President Trump wants, and as we learned with the debt-laden "Big Beautiful Bill", what the President wants, he often gets.
From where will the funds come in order to buy the national Bitcoin? You can find it right there, plain as day, in the language of the bill. See below:
And just to make sure that all the I’s are dotted and T’s crossed, the bills even codify and redefine the value of gold from the ancient but current $42.22/ounce. See this:
In the end, connecting all the dots for this picture is about as simple as a children's workbook. The politicians are warning you that an official gold revaluation is coming, and the price action since Trump was elected is telling the same story. The only question: What becomes of the market price for gold when this official revaluation happens?
No one knows. Seriously. How could anyone be certain as no one alive today has lived through an official U.S. government revaluation. If the U.S. just simply uses the London PM Fix of, say June 15, 2026, what does that mean for price on June 16? Probably nothing. HOWEVER, it speaks volumes regarding the value of gold as something other than a barbarous relic. Additionally, other central banks and governments around the world may follow suit and issue their own official revaluations.
Beyond that, the simple inflationary impact of the sudden creation via accounting gimmick of maybe $1T in new fiat would be significant. A new form of QE, in a way. And as governments around the world race to devalue their currency toward zero, physical gold shines even brighter.
So we'll keep track of this story as 2025 continues. Nothing is certain, of course, and politics can be an ugly and messy business. The signs are clear, though, for anyone willing to notice. An official revaluation of the U.S. gold reserves is coming. Prepare accordingly.
