Good morning. This is a Breaking Intelligence Report from ABOVETOPSECRETXXL. Central banks around the world are accumulating gold at a pace more than four times the pre-2022 average, and a growing share of that metal is being relocated out of the United States. The figures come from a Goldman Sachs research note cited by Fortune and confirmed across multiple market outlets, and they are corroborated by the World Gold Council’s own reserve data. The movement is quiet, deliberate, and structural.

THE BUYING: 79 TONNES IN AUGUST, 85 ON A THREE-MONTH BASIS
Status: CONFIRMED â GOLDMAN SACHS ESTIMATE
Goldman Sachs estimates that central banks globally purchased 79 tonnes of gold in August 2026 . The pre-2022 monthly average was approximately 17 tonnes . That is roughly 4.6 times the historical pace .
Key Figures:
· August 2026: 79 tonnes purchased
· Pre-2022 average: 17 tonnes per month
· Three-month seasonally adjusted rate: 85 tonnes per month
· Goldman Sachs 2026 full-year forecast: approximately 50 tonnes per month
· China (largest identifiable buyer): approximately 25 tonnes in August
· Q2 2026 reported net purchases: approximately 289 tonnes, up from around 178 tonnes in Q2 2025
The World Gold Council’s 2026 survey, based on a record 76 responses, found that 89 percent of reserve managers expect global central bank gold holdings to increase over the next 12 months .

THE RELOCATION: OUT OF NEW YORK, INTO LONDON
Status: CONFIRMED
The buying is only part of the story. The storage question is now a strategic one.
Key Movements:
· New York Fed: foreign central bank gold holdings declined by 40 tonnes in August .
· Bank of England: holdings rose by 46 tonnes over the same period .
· De Nederlandsche Bank (Netherlands): confirmed in September that it spent the previous six months moving 86 tonnes of gold out of New York and Ottawa into London, citing “increasing geopolitical unrest” and the desire to be “better prepared for serious crises” .
· Banque de France: sold 129 tonnes of gold held in New York and replaced it with gold acquired in Europe, according to reports on its reserve programme .
Why London:
De Nederlandsche Bank stated that “gold stored in London at the Bank of England ⊠is considered the most easily tradable gold in the world,” making it “the fastest way for DNB to deploy in a crisis situation” . The portion of the stock held in New York and Ottawa is “less directly deployable” .
—
THE SECRECY: FEWER CENTRAL BANKS WILL SAY WHERE THE GOLD IS
Status: CONFIRMED
The survey data shows a rising share of central banks declining to disclose future storage locations.
· The share of central banks that declined to state a storage location rose to 12 percent in 2026, from 10 percent the year before .
· This suggests further custody moves may already be planned but not announced .
—
THE DRIVERS: SANCTIONS, TRUST, AND THE DOLLAR
Status: ASSESSMENT
Goldman Sachs cites diversification away from G7 reserve currencies, above all the US dollar, as a key motivation, and says those incentives are “likely to remain in place” amid wars, tariff fights, and the memory of frozen Russian assets .
The 2022 Catalyst:
The freezing of Russian central bank assets following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was a turning point in how reserve managers assess counterparty risk . Gold, unlike a government bond, is a physical asset that does not depend on another government fulfilling a payment promise .
The Broader Shift:
· Gold held in central bank reserves surpassed the value of US Treasury holdings for the first time in 30 years in early 2026, reaching approximately **$4 trillion** against $3.9 trillion in US sovereign debt .
· Central banks have added an average of roughly 1,000 tonnes of gold per year over the past four years, about double the 500-tonne average of the preceding decade .
· However, IMF COFER data shows the dollar’s share of reserves actually rose to 57.13 percent in Q1 2026, and the headline gold-over-Treasuries milestone was driven substantially by gold’s price rally rather than purely by selling dollars .

WHAT TO WATCH
· Whether the New York Fed’s foreign gold custody continues to decline in September and October data
· Whether additional European central banks announce repatriation or relocation of gold from the US
· Whether the World Gold Council’s full-year 2026 data confirms the 50-tonne monthly pace
· Whether gold prices, which hit a record $5,589.38 an ounce on January 28, 2026, resume their climb
· Whether the rising share of undisclosed storage locations precedes further announced moves

INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENT â THE BIG PICTURE
First: The buying is real, and it is sustained. 79 tonnes in August against a 17-tonne pre-war baseline is not a monthly fluctuation. The three-month adjusted rate of 85 tonnes annualises to roughly 1,000 tonnes, against about 200 tonnes before 2022 . This is a structural bid under the metal.
Second: The storage question is the sharper signal. Buying gold and leaving it in New York is one decision. Buying gold and moving it to London, or declining to say where it is held, is a different one. The Dutch and French moves make the custody dimension explicit: the metal is being positioned for deployability in a crisis, not simply accumulated.
Third: The dollar’s reserve share has not collapsed â yet. The IMF’s own data shows the dollar at 57.13 percent, up slightly . The gold-over-Treasuries milestone is partly a price effect. The honest assessment is that central banks are diversifying at the margin while the dollar remains dominant. But the direction of travel in physical gold custody is unmistakable.
Fourth: The 2022 precedent is the frame. The freezing of Russian reserves taught every reserve manager that foreign-held financial assets carry a geopolitical option written against them. Gold does not carry that option in the same way. The question is not whether central banks trust the dollar â but whether they trust the custody arrangement.

CLOSING REMARK
This is your ABOVETOPSECRETXXL Breaking Intelligence Report. Central banks bought 79 tonnes of gold in August, more than four times the pre-2022 pace. The New York Fed lost 40 tonnes of foreign central bank gold in the same month; the Bank of England gained 46. The Netherlands moved 86 tonnes out of New York and Ottawa. France sold 129 tonnes held in New York. The buying is quiet, the relocation is deliberate, and an increasing number of central banks will no longer say where the metal is kept.
