Fort Knox, Trump & the Great Gold Conspiracy—What If It’s Empty? | The Gold Spot

Fort Knox is the latest focus of the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) auditing spree, with Elon Musk and President Trump hinting at their curiosity about what lies behind its heavily guarded doors. Officially, the stronghold contains over 147.3 million ounces of gold—nearly half of the United States Treasury’s total reserves.

Currently, the U.S. holds nearly more gold bullion than the next three largest gold-holding countries combined. Therefore, a failed Fort Knox audit would have reverberating consequences across the globe, not just here at home.

Despite these massive reserves, skepticism about Fort Knox’s gold has persisted for decades, ever since the abandonment of the gold standard. Conspiracy theories about empty vaults have gained renewed attention, fueled by the fact that no full, independent audit has been conducted since 1953.

While the U.S. Mint performs internal reviews, the secrecy surrounding the facility keeps doubts alive. If an audit were to reveal missing gold bars, the fallout could be enormous. A loss of trust in the U.S. government, a tightening global supply, and a surge in gold demand could send gold prices soaring.

Watch this week’s The Gold Spot to hear Scottsdale Bullion & Coin Precious Metals Advisors Todd Graf and Brian Conneely explore how much gold is officially held within Fort Knox, why the legendary reserve is so secretive, and what would happen if the government fails the DOGE audit.
