$BTC China Eyes Bitcoin and Gold Over U.S. Treasuries in Bold Economic Shift

China is making a major move by reducing its U.S. Treasury holdings and increasing its positions in Bitcoin and gold, aiming to protect itself from growing global tensions. As of early 2025, China holds $784.3 billion in U.S. Treasuries, $229.6 billion in gold, and 194,000 BTC worth $18 billion. Experts say this shift could destabilize U.S. mortgage rates and shake global markets. According to BlackRock’s Jay Jacobs, Bitcoin thrives in uncertainty, unlike traditional assets that rely on stability making it a strategic hedge in today’s fragmented geopolitical landscape.
