The Bureau of the Fiscal Service records 147,341,858.382 fine troy ounces of gold in deep storage at Fort Knox for 31 July 2026 in the U.S. Treasury-Owned Gold dataset, the figure it also carries for June 2026 and for July 2025. That record was published on 6 August 2026 and is still the most recent; the dataset gives 10 September 2026 as the date the next one is due. No category in the July table differs from its value a year earlier.
The table, in the document’s own headings, in fine troy ounces at 31 July 2026:
- Mint-held gold, deep storage — Denver 43,853,707.279 · Fort Knox 147,341,858.382 · West Point 54,067,331.379
- Mint-held Treasury gold, working stock — all locations, coins, blanks and miscellaneous 2,783,218.656
- Federal Reserve Bank-held gold bullion — New York vault 13,376,987.724 · on display 1,993.321
- Federal Reserve Bank-held gold coins — New York vault 73,452.066 · on display 377.434
The report is bounded by ownership rather than by location: its subject is Treasury-owned gold, so gold a Federal Reserve Bank holds on another party’s account falls outside these lines even where it is held at the same facility as the 13,376,987.724 ounces of bullion that fall inside them. It identifies metal by facility, form and location and states it as weight; it carries no serial numbers, so it answers where and how much, and which bars is the question an allocation record answers by naming a holder against numbered bars. Deep storage and working stock divide by use and not by owner: deep storage is the portion the Mint secures in sealed vaults examined annually by the Treasury’s Office of Inspector General and consists primarily of bars, while working stock is the bars, blanks, unsold coins and condemned coins the Mint consumes as raw material for congressionally authorised coins. Working stock is booked as raw material and turns over; segregation is the recorded condition that a holding will not be used or pledged, which is why the 2,783,218.656-ounce working-stock line and the three deep-storage lines sit on one report under separate headings. Book value across all of it is recorded at the statutory rate of $42.2222 per fine troy ounce under 31 U.S.C. §§ 5116–5117, set in 1973, and the Treasury states that this book value is not the market value.
The report states Treasury-owned holdings by facility, form and location at a month end. Custody terms for gold held at a Federal Reserve Bank on any other party’s account are set by that Bank, and the book-value rate is set by 31 U.S.C. §§ 5116–5117.
