Tucker Carlson Says USD is Doomed, Starts Gold Company
Tucker Carlson has entered the precious-metals industry, creating a gold, silver, and platinum company as he warns that the U.S. dollar is weakening and that global financial stability is eroding.
GFN – NEW YORK: Carlson’s move, first detailed in the Wall Street Journal, is framed as a response to what he sees as the decline of trust in central banks and the fading reliability of post-war monetary structures. As one report put it, “the dollar is doomed, collapse is a matter of time,” capturing the tone of Carlson’s argument that traditional currencies are entering a long cycle of debasement. He contends that central banks have abandoned their stabilizing role, turning into institutions that undermine the very confidence they were built to maintain. Gold, in this narrative, regains importance as both symbol and store of value.

Analysts note that Carlson’s entry into the metals business is uniquely amplified by his vast communication reach. After leaving Fox News, he built an independent media platform with millions of viewers. This creates a feedback dynamic in which public commentary and commercial activity reinforce each other. As one observer noted, “his platform transforms opinion into market influence.” Even indirect references to systemic risk can boost retail demand for gold or silver, a mechanism that operates alongside his company’s commercial interests.
Economists view Carlson’s positioning as a textbook expression of flight-to-quality behavior. In periods of monetary uncertainty, investors shift away from risk assets and seek stores of value that operate outside inflationary decay. The difference in Carlson’s case is the communication overlay. His statements, delivered from a highly influential platform, may shape expectations directly and accelerate the very behavior he is describing. That raises questions about conflicts of interest, since he now holds a financial stake in an asset class he is simultaneously encouraging his audience to consider. Analysts warn that such dual roles can distort perception and drive demand that does not originate from neutral analysis.
The broader trend, however, extends beyond Carlson’s audience. Global demand for precious metals is rising as inflation, uncertain policy cycles, and institutional distrust reshape investor psychology. Gold purchases now function as an implicit vote against the existing system rather than a technical trade alone. Investors are increasingly turning to gold, cryptocurrencies, and alternative assets as a hedge against monetary unpredictability.
