US Gold Reserves Primarily Stored at Fort Knox

Fort Knox in Kentucky holds about 147.3 million troy ounces of gold, roughly 60% of the United States’ total reserves managed by the Treasury. The New York West Point facility stores around 54.1 million ounces, while the Denver site in Colorado holds about 43.9 million ounces. Both locations also serve as active minting centers for the U.S. Mint. By contrast, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York keeps only about 13.4 million ounces, roughly 9% of Fort Knox’s holdings.
