China going to reserve with GOLD & BTC

[Scarlett_23]

After grab Huge of btc china start to grow Gold reserve
As of October 8, 2025, China's total gold reserves are 2,298.5 tons. On average, the country is adding 2 to 5 tons of gold per month, although there was a temporary slowdown in September, with only 0.4 tons of gold acquired.

Clear indication of power !!!

When there is uncertainty in the economy, people look for safe investments. And people have long chosen the gold market as a safe investment. The war between Ukraine and Russia, the Israeli invasion of Palestine, all these have had a bad impact on the global economy. As a result, central banks of various countries are trying to stockpile gold for relief. Due to this, the price of gold is increasing overnight. On top of this, China's diplomatic relations with the United States have deteriorated and China is stockpiling a large amount of gold to reduce its dominance over the dollar. As a result, the price of gold has increased even more.

Exactly, if there is an indication of power regarding gold, then it'll be highly possible as well with bitcoin. China has always been smart and deceptive, so we should not easily fall on  their tricks that they're not really into bitcoin. Of course, it would be a shame on their part if they tell the world that they are currently maximizing their bitcoin reserve when all they did in the previous years was to contradict the adoption of bitcoin. I guess not only China, but there are still big countries who are silently storing bitcoin now.

The US is telling everyone they want to be at the forefront of crypto adoption but they’re not even buying bitcoins they are just storing the ones they have seized from their operations. It’s not gonna be surprising to see if other countries are doing the same thing,

But Bitcoin is not captured in your your post, you spoke about about China and Gold. What is the real stand of China about bitcoin. Have they changed their initial stand that made them ban bitcoin mining years ago? I would want to know.
Meanwhile, I suspect that China will return to bitcoin because their rival (US) is seriously into bitcoin. They might not afford to waste more time before joining.
If there's any news of China BTC reserve, please link same to your post.

Whatever other big countries gained, China shouldn't be left behind, that's how I interpret the government ruling in China. They always want to have the biggest slot, and bitcoin is not an exception. They probably have bigger plans about bitcoin, but they don't need to publicize it because their competitors are closely watching them.

While China continue to hoard gold, I wouldn't be surprised one day that they are also doing it with  bitcoin, no one knows really on their real stance on bitcoin accumulation.

China is a big nation from its area in squared kilometers to its economic size but the life quality of the people there is not actually good and at the word class life quality level. There are many poor people in China who don't receive enough wealth fares from their government so with whatever policies do by the Chinese governments about gold and bitcoin, their citizens won't get benefit from it.

Only the leader of the nations and highest governmental staffs and their family companies will enjoy any success and benefit from the coming national policies. The citizens especially the poor in China will continued to be abandoned and live in poor conditions.

Have you ever visited, surveyed or lived in China, how do you know that Chinese people's life is just average and not good? Or do you know those things through US and EU media?
Poverty and economic hardship of a segment of the population exists in every country, including the United States, which is known as a paradise.

I don't know when they will do it with bitcoin, but right now. It's clear they don't need bitcoin and they're not secretly accumulating it like some conspiracy theories suggest. I also believe they will not change their stance anytime soon and there is no need to compete with the US, as the US has not bought any bitcoins, so far.

Also, gold and bitcoin are not the same, so just because they accumulate gold does not mean they will accumulate bitcoin.

China's BTC holding was a seized asset, and not an actual possession like Gold that they deliberately bought and keep buying. But of course, it is an added advantage to the country whether or not they like Bitcoin. As for Gold, expect China and many other countries to buy more, as they are doing that to shift away from the US Dollar dominance in reserves and others. Donald Trump opened the eyes of the world leaders to the danger of empowering the US and the USD more. It's becoming tyrannical.

I wonder what the world's financial shift would be in the next 10 years.

[Swordsoffreedom]

I see a lot of people like to come up with conspiracy theories that China is secretly accumulating bitcoin and doesn't want the world to know. Honestly, I don't find this conspiracy theory convincing at all. So, you and those who believe in this conspiracy theory can explain it to me.

Yes, I have also heard those conspiracy theories and I don't quite believe them either, but let's not forget that theoretically China is the second largest holder of bitcoin due to its confiscated bitcoins, behind the USA. The USA has created a strategic reserve but has not bought bitcoins, and China, although it has not officially created one, has more or less the same amount of bitcoins as the USA. So, just by continuing to hold on to them, it is a major player in the market.

According to the federal constitution, the US does not have an official bitcoin reserve, the US bitcoin reserve is just an executive order signed by Trump, not approved by Congress. That means they can also sell those bitcoins whenever they want and that is also why the Trump administration cannot buy more bitcoins to fill their reserves.

The US still doesn't have a "Bitcoin Act", nor does the Fed own any bitcoin in their reserves. So it cannot be said that the US has bitcoin reserves, and that is why I believe that China does not need to secretly accumulate bitcoin to compete with the US. Because the US has not actively accumulated bitcoin and considers it a strategic card like gold.

[Rustam Meraj]

Steady and huge growth of Chinese gold reserves, currently 2,298.5 tons and growing every month, is clear sign of power and smart plan to move its currency out of US Dollar to protect its economy against political and financial risks like hedging. This gold buying, and China interest in Bitcoin shows that they are using two parts strategy gold as the old safe option and Bitcoin as new digital option main goal of which is to rely less on existing global financial system run by US.

The US is telling everyone they want to be at the forefront of crypto adoption but they’re not even buying bitcoins they are just storing the ones they have seized from their operations. It’s not gonna be surprising to see if other countries are doing the same thing,

They never discussed and proposed purchasing bitcoin the way we would want them to. It was always about finding budget-neutral ways to acquire more BTC. In other words, they won't use taxpayer money to purchase bitcoin and increase national holdings. Confiscating bitcoin and crypto from their subjects is a budget-neutral way of increasing the reserve. I believe it will keep happening. Some senators like Cynthia Lummis have proposed that the US gradually buy 1 million BTC in the next couple of years, and she also claims that Trump agrees with that and is on board. But who knows if that is actually true and what the Orange Man is really thinking.

Maybe she wasn't lying about Trump agreeing with her on the idea because he wasn't the one who had the power to decide on it after all. That power belongs to Congress.
As far as I know, Cynthia Lummis has been presenting the proposal for a bitcoin reserve to the Congress (Senate) since March. But so far there has been no discussion, debate or vote in the Senate. That shows US politicians are not really as interested in bitcoin as many of us think.

As for the idea of ​​increasing bitcoin reserves by confiscating, it's not a good thing in the long run, IMO. What if they and other governments just want to hoard bitcoins through confiscation, and to do that, they will issue more and more unreasonable and strict regulations to confiscate more bitcoins from bitcoin users?

[Victoria01]

Looks like China is quietly shifting gears — reports suggest they’re building up reserves in gold and Bitcoin.
If true, that’s a big move signaling confidence in hard assets over traditional currencies. The question is — are we witnessing the early stages of a global financial reset?

Every country wants to be more prominent and dominate in certain areas, including this one. So it's no surprise that we're now starting to see the US aiming to become a major crypto adopter, even though they may rely solely on confiscations without directly purchasing large amounts. However, countries in the Americas, like El Salvador, are still very happy to buy Bitcoin without any concerns about confiscation or anything like that, as Bitcoin is completely legal there. As for other countries, I'm still not sure, as each country has very different regulations regarding everything.

It should be noted that only the US under Donald Trump is friendly and wants to be a leader in the cryptocurrency field. The US stance on cryptocurrencies could change when his term ends, and if Democrat takes over the White House or the new president is not pro-bitcoin. It can be said that the US stance on crypto is still unclear and there are still many internal disagreements among politicians. That could also be why they claim to be looking for ways buying Bitcoin but have yet to come up with a viable solution, so far.

Overall, the world is becoming more and more friendly towards bitcoin, but they still don't really take it seriously and see it as an important element for the economy. I think we haven’t reached that stage yet.

China is a communist country and they are quite secretive about most of what they do. So we can hypothesize, suspect they might be secretly accumulating bitcoins. But that won't happen with countries like the US or EU. They are capitalist nations with power divided, not concentrated in a single individual. That means any important issue related to national security or the economy needs to be discussed and voted on publicly.

So let's stop making baseless assumptions just to satisfy ourselves bitcoin has potential and the whole world wants it. No, Bitcoin is not so valuable and important the whole world should quietly accumulate it. Don't be so paranoid.

This will illustrate a country's motivation to seize this opportunity. If developments continue to improve, I believe this isn't a fluke, and it carries inherent risks.

The race seems imminent, and I see the trend moving toward buying, storing, and using it as a digital-based backup option. Of course, gold is the primary currency for any country. That's why a major country like China is recognizing this significant opportunity, opting for both gold and digital gold.

[₿itcoin]

China is not very interested in Bitcoin, its true. however it is not fair to call them stupid, LoL,, ! ! They know that Bitcoin is now a means of global influence, which is as important as gold. Although they officially speak out against crypto, as far as I know, they have started accumulating Bitcoin behind the scenes through Hong Kong and state linked institutions. While accumulating gold is an outside part of their strategic plan, they are not dismissing Bitcoin as digital gold

They are keeping quiet to maintain their control &  at the same time preparing themselves for the future. So, yes, this is completely relevant here, because both gold &  Bitcoin are currently the mainstays of financial power

The Chinese government has little interest in Bitcoin, the value of it could evaporate too quickly and be entirely outside of their control - especially if somewhere like the USA or Europe banned it as some sort of counter measure. They will not see gold and bitcoin as in anywhere near the same league. It is much more likely that they will make endeavors towards a central bank currency that would be under their control but could allow digital trading, but it's almost redundant when they have an entire ecosystem already in things like wechat with the virtual currency that it has. You can see proof of China buying gold, but where is your proof that they have bought any sizable amount of bitcoin?

Being inverse to dollar doesnt make BTC and gold soul mates, they are not even close imo.  Both are made for different purposes in the world hence I can believe both do well with varied reasons and timing.  Dollar being self destructive is not good praise for anyone or anything as an attribute.

   China a communist or more accurately military dictatorship wants absolute control of whatever asset remains in their clenched fist.  Mining gold, rare earths, coal and probably many other commodities is completely familiar to them.
  I'm sure they do have control of technology in various ways and will abduct any CEO who would say otherwise but I dont see how Bitcoin suits their needs for absolute control over all parts of a market.   Their involvement for BTC will be incidental, I think similar of all governments unless we discover some idealist actual capitalism based governance somewhere then maybe them, just after we find unicorns.

China is aggressively rolling out the e-CNY, a central bank digital currency (CBDC) designed for total traceability and control
