Japan is quietly sending a macro signal 🚨
Japan’s gold reserves hit a record ~$120B in 2025, up +60% YoY
Gold now makes up ~9% of total reserves, more than 2× vs 2022.
Context matters:
- FX reserves: ~$1.17T
- Total reserves: ~$1.37T
This is classic central bank diversification
reducing reliance on fiat-heavy reserves.
If gold is the traditional hedge,
$BTC fits naturally as the digital reserve trade in the next phase of this shift.
