The United States Treasury holds roughly 25% of all the gold ever mined in the world - but I think it's only 8,600 tonnes, and all the gold in the world is about 125,000-130,000 tonnes.

You are right on the US - I just checked and it is 8135 tonnes. But it can't be 25% of all gold ever mined as about 2000-2500 tonnes is mined each year currently. and 25% of your 125 Gg (:)) is 30000 tonnes.
