Gold Stock Corp: Why We See Gold on a Rocket Path Toward $6,000 At Gold Stock Corp, we’ve long held the view that gold isn't just a safe haven—it’s the cornerstone of a monetary future in flux. That view is gaining major support from industry leaders like Frank Holmes, CEO of U.S. Global Investors and Executive Chairman of Hive Digital Technologies, who believes we could see gold reach $6,000/oz before the end of President Trump’s term. As Holmes recently told Kitco News, the forces at work are monumental: a global financial reset, de-dollarization, and a historic wave of sovereign gold buying, especially from China. And as gold hovers around $3,300—after hitting a record $3,509/oz earlier this week—we believe the runway for upside remains wide open. “If tariffs climb 25%, the dollar has to fall 25%,” Holmes said—highlighting how macroeconomic shifts could supercharge gold demand. China Leading the Charge The People's Bank of China has now topped the list of sovereign gold buyers for five consecutive months, adding over 27 tonnes in Q1 2025 alone. Its official reserves are now above 2,300 tonnes—a modern record—with unofficial estimates pointing to even deeper holdings through state-controlled entities. This isn't just about diversification. It’s a strategic move to reduce U.S. dollar dependency and increase the yuan’s influence in global trade. Holmes linked this monetary move with rising geopolitical tension, stating, “Xi Jinping is building nuclear icebreakers… He believes the Arctic is his.” Whether that plays out or not, it’s clear: China is preparing for a new world order—and gold is at the center of it. The Reset Has Begun In the U.S., political pressure is mounting for the Fed to cut rates as trade friction intensifies. Meanwhile, the IMF has downgraded U.S. GDP growth to just 1.2% for 2025, raising alarms. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called out global institutions like the IMF and World Bank for drifting away from economic stability—and is calling for a full-scale monetary reset. Holmes doesn’t think this is business as usual. “It’s a war with the leader of China,” he said. He also pointed to the rise of the BRICS bloc and how their push to de-dollarize is tilting the global balance, even as short-term dollar strength masks the underlying trend. “Negative real rates and money printing trigger devaluations,” Holmes warned. “That’s when gold regains its shine—as a true asset class.” Gold Stocks Still Undervalued Here at Gold Stock Corp, we echo Holmes’ view that gold equities remain a major opportunity. Despite the surge in bullion, gold miners haven’t caught up. “They went down to 1% of ETF portfolios,” Holmes noted. “Now they’re climbing back toward 2%—but there’s a long way to go.” Take Newmont Corp, for example: they just posted their highest quarterly all-in sustaining costs in nearly 10 years at $1,651/oz—but still beat earnings expectations, thanks to strong gold prices. Miners today aren’t squandering their gains. They’re buying back shares, boosting dividends, and generating serious free cash flow. Holmes compared today’s landscape to the early days of Franco-Nevada’s royalty model—saying if gold had been at $3,500 back then, “streaming economics would’ve exploded.” That’s the kind of upside we're watching now—especially for mid-tier and junior producers. The Bitcoin Parallel Holmes also sees digital gold—Bitcoin—on a similar trajectory, trading near $93,000 and potentially heading toward $250,000. With Bitcoin ETFs gaining momentum and the U.S. emerging as a mining leader, it’s another decentralized hedge against the dollar's decline. “One is tangible, the other virtual,” Holmes said. “But both deserve a spot in a diversified portfolio.”
