Central banks and precious metals: Why the biggest players keep buying gold...
When it comes to stacking, most of us think about our own coins, bars, and the comfort ofhaving something real and tangible. But it’s worth zooming out and asking: why are central banks the biggest financial players in the world, quietly stacking gold at record levels?
Over the last decade, central banks from China, Russia, Turkey, and even Poland have been adding tonnes of gold to their reserves. They don’t do this because it’s prety or nostalgic, they do it because gold represents stability outside the fragile paper-money system. Gold can’t be printed, defaulted on, or sanctioned in the same way currencies and bonds can. It’s a neutral, apolitical asset that has been trusted for thousands of years.

What makes this trend even more interesting is that it’s happening while many governments continue running up debts they can’t realistically repay. By holding gold, central banks ar e essentially admitting what we as stacker already know: fiat currency loses value, but gold preserves it.
When central banks buy gold, it’s not about short-term gains. It’s about long-term survival. And in that way, we’re not so different from them after all.
