Central banks hold 36,800 tonnes of gold and added 1,037 tonnes last year. Retail holds perhaps 3% of Bitcoin supply that isn't lost or institutionally controlled. When the headline says central banks drive one and retail the other, it's describing two assets with opposite ownership structures facing the same macro environment — and gold is down 23.7% from January while Bitcoin is near all-time highs.
