Published by

Economist Peter Schiff criticized former President Trump’s push for U.S. dominance in Bitcoin and digital assets, calling it misguided as China focuses on building factories and buying gold. While the U.S. holds around 198,000 BTC, China’s holdings from seizures are close to 190,000-194,000 BTC. Meanwhile, China continues expanding its gold reserves, reaching 2,306 tonnes valued at over $319 billion by December 2025, signaling a preference for traditional assets over crypto.
