The gold reserves of the United States are 8 133.5 tons, ranking first in the world. This reserve accounts for 77.6% of the US foreign exchange reserves and 22% of the global gold reserves. The reason why the United States has such a high gold reserve is mainly related to the status of the US dollar as a global reserve currency. Gold is considered as a stable asset with the characteristics of hedging and preserving value, so the state will regard a certain proportion of gold reserves as a part of financial security.
