166 Tons of Truth: Why Central Banks Are Buying Gold Like It’s 1971

EDITOR'S NOTES

Central banks just bought 166 tonnes of gold in Q2 2025—a 41% spike from normal activity—and it’s no accident. This isn’t about portfolio diversification. It’s about power. The BRICS alliance is accelerating its de-dollarization strategy, preparing for a post-dollar world. As the U.S. clings to its crumbling fiat system, the rest of the world is quietly shifting to something more ancient, more stable… and far more disruptive. Gold is no longer a relic—it’s a weapon.

Mr. Anderson Aug 18, 25

Have you ever asked yourself why the world’s central banks—especially those in “enemy” nations—are stacking gold while the average citizen is told to trust the dollar?

Now you have your answer: 166 tonnes of gold. That’s how much central banks hoarded in just three months (Q2 2025), a staggering 41% increase above historical quarterly averages. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s a signal. A warning. A paradigm shift.

The BRICS Blueprint: Burn the Dollar, Build the Future

Behind this surge is BRICS—Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa—and now with BRICS-10 expansion, they've become a geopolitical superforce representing nearly half of the world’s population and over a third of global GDP.

Their strategy? Simple: dismantle the dollar’s hegemony and rewrite the rules of global finance. They're not asking permission—and they’re not bluffing. Gold is their bridge to a new system, and the West is still in denial.

In fact, while mainstream media obsesses over GDP numbers and quarterly earnings, these countries are building parallel financial infrastructure: bilateral trade in local currencies, cross-border payment systems bypassing SWIFT, and—here’s the kicker—a 2026 launch date for a BRICS gold-backed currency.

What’s the U.S. response? More debt, more printing, more distractions.

Central Banks Know: Gold Is the Anti-Dollar

While average investors are chasing meme stocks and inflated tech valuations, central banks are quietly preparing for the collapse they know is coming. They don’t need to read the tea leaves—they control the pot. Gold isn’t just a hedge; it’s monetary insurance.

As Jeff Quartermaine of Perseus Mining put it bluntly:

“Gold isn’t just a hedge. It’s insurance against the fragility of the global monetary system.”

That fragility is now front and center. The dollar isn’t dying from a gunshot—it’s bleeding out from 100 self-inflicted wounds: inflation, weaponized sanctions, reckless monetary policy, and the Federal Reserve’s blind hubris.

And while BRICS member states like China, Russia, Turkey, and India are buying gold at a record pace, Western nations are... debating interest rate tweaks and ESG scores.

Let that sink in.

The 2026 BRICS Currency: Gold-Backed, Digital, and Dangerous (to Fiat)

The 17th BRICS Summit in Brazil wasn't just another diplomatic circle-jerk. It laid the groundwork for a gold-backed digital currency that could dethrone the dollar.

Here’s what they’ve already implemented:

Digital payment infrastructure that avoids SWIFT.
Bilateral trade settlements in local currencies.
Gold reserve transparency to back digital money with real assets.

What they’re building is not just a financial alternative—it’s an economic firewall. And if you're still asking "When will the BRICS currency launch?"—you're asking the wrong question.

The better question is: What will you do when it does?

Gold Producers Are Cashing In—Why Aren’t You?

While investors sleepwalk into the next crisis, BRICS-aligned gold producers are making bank. Why? Because they earn in U.S. dollars but pay costs in weaker local currencies—creating a profit margin explosion as their own currencies collapse.

Mike Hodgson of Serabi Gold didn’t mince words:

“We’re enjoying a very preferable exchange rate, which is very much in our favor… We can do everything out of cash flow, without diluting shareholders.”

That’s the sound of financial sovereignty. No debt. No dilution. Just profit through sound money strategy.

What are American businesses doing? Borrowing more.

The Final Warning: This Is the De-Dollarization Endgame

Make no mistake—this is war. Not with tanks or missiles, but with currencies and reserves. And the U.S. is losing.

You don’t buy 166 tonnes of gold unless you’re planning for a world where the dollar no longer matters.

The BRICS alliance isn’t playing a game. They’re laying the foundation of a parallel system—and for the first time in 80 years, the dollar has real competition.

Take Action Now—Before the Next Financial Shock Hits

Ask yourself: what happens when the dollar loses its “reserve currency” status?

Interest rates spike.
Imports cost more.
America’s debt spiral turns terminal.

And while the elites will pivot to their offshore gold, tokenized assets, and private vaults—you’ll be left holding paper promises.
