| Dear Reader, Switzerland built 370,000 nuclear bunkers during the Cold War. Most sit empty now. Relics. One doesn't. Every week, armed guards haul more than a ton of gold through blast doors thick enough to survive a warhead. The vault behind them holds $24 billion in bullion, and it's growing. The owner isn't a government. It's a cryptocurrency company. While you were reading headlines about AI stocks and interest rates, Tether — the firm behind the world's most-used digital currency — quietly became the largest private gold hoard on earth. Not a fund. Not a bank. A crypto company. Storing physical gold. In a nuclear bunker. In Switzerland. This should sound like a movie plot. It's not. And here's the part that matters to your money: They can't stop buying. Tether's business model generates $10 billion in annual profit. That money needs a home. They've chosen gold. Not paper gold. Not futures. Bars you can touch, stacked behind Cold War concrete. Follow the gold through the blast doors and see where it lands. They bought more last quarter than Brazil's central bank. More than Turkey. More than Hungary, Greece, and Portugal combined. |
