Gold and silver just posted their strongest week of 2026. Bitcoin (BTC) sat it out.

Gold climbed roughly 7% on the week. Silver did about twice as well. Bitcoin managed 0.7% in a day.

Gold headed for its best week since January, Reuters reported. Spot gold was up about 6% on the week by Friday afternoon in London, then pushed higher into the New York session.

By late Friday, gold traded near $4,323 an ounce and silver near $64. Both marked multi-week highs.

Bitcoin was the laggard. It gained 0.7% over 24 hours, leaving Bitcoin near $65,000 with a market value around $1.31 trillion.

Research account Bull Theory put the combined gain for the two metals at roughly $2.7 trillion. That estimate values all the gold and silver ever mined. Treat it as rough scale, not a hard number.

$2.7 TRILLION has been added to gold and silver this week.

Gold is up +7.3%, adding $2.22 TRILLION.

Silver is up +14%, adding $504 BILLION.
