Texas continues to build the infrastructure of independence, and this week brought another significant milestone that validates what the Texas Nationalist Movement has been advocating for over a decade. The Texas Bullion Depository announced it is now holding precious metal IRA assets, marking yet another step toward the financial sovereignty that an independent Republic of Texas will require.
This represents the fruition of a vision that the TNM has been pushing since 2010 – building the monetary infrastructure necessary for Texas independence.
“As the only state-authorized storage facility for precious metal assets, the Texas Bullion Depository gives investors a higher level of oversight and protection against counterparty risk than what is offered at other depositories,” Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar stated in announcing this new capability.
While the Federal Government continues its reckless spending spree that has driven the national debt past $35 trillion, and while the Federal Reserve continues to debase the dollar through endless money printing, Texas has built real infrastructure to protect real wealth with real assets.
The numbers tell a story of success that validates everything we’ve been saying about Texas’s capacity for self-governance. As of June 6, the total value of deposits at the Texas Bullion Depository surpassed $400 million. That’s $400 million in tangible wealth that Americans have chosen to store under the protection of the State of Texas rather than trusting it to federal mismanagement.
The Texas Nationalist Movement was active on the legislation that created this depository from the moment it first saw the light of day in 2010. For five years, we advocated not just for repatriating the gold that Texas owns back here, but to incorporate that into a state bank system that can be utilized as a federal reserve once independence is achieved. The passage of HB 483 in 2015 was a victory for the Texas Nationalist Movement, and we said then that we would build on that victory. Today’s announcement proves we were right.
This facility represents exactly what we mean when we talk about building parallel institutions. While Washington politicians play their kabuki theater of fake fiscal responsibility, Texas has been quietly building the infrastructure of independence. The Texas Bullion Depository isn’t just a place to store precious metals – it’s a foundation stone for the monetary system of an independent Republic of Texas.
As we’ve stated repeatedly, our sovereignty depends upon it. Every sovereign nation maintains precious metal reserves. Every independent country needs the ability to back its currency with tangible assets rather than the empty promises of politicians. The Federal Government has demonstrated beyond any doubt that it cannot be trusted with monetary policy. They’ve turned the dollar into a tool for wealth extraction, systematically draining Texas resources through inflation and federal spending that benefits everyone except Texans.
Christopher Speltz, CEO of Lone Star Tangible Assets, captured part of the significance when he said this provides “peace of mind to those looking to protect their wealth for the future.” But it goes much deeper than individual wealth protection. This is about Texas demonstrating that we can manage our own financial infrastructure without federal oversight or federal permission.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect. As confidence in federal institutions continues to collapse, as Americans watch their government systematically destroy the value of their currency while expanding its reach into every aspect of their lives, Texas offers an alternative. The depository accepts gold, silver, palladium, and platinum – real assets with intrinsic value that have protected wealth for thousands of years, not the funny money that flows from Washington’s printing presses.
This development builds on everything the TNM has been saying about Texas’s readiness for independence. We already possess the critical components necessary for launching our own currency. The Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company manages over $125 billion and could serve as our central bank. We have existing banking infrastructure. And now we have a state-of-the-art bullion depository for precious metals backing.
The $400 million milestone represents more than stored wealth – it represents growing confidence in Texas institutions over federal ones. It demonstrates that when Texas builds something, we build it right. The facility operates without a single taxpayer dollar, runs efficiently, and delivers real results for real people.
This is what financial independence looks like in practice. This is how you build toward monetary sovereignty. And this is why the Federal Government fears what we’re doing in Texas. We’re not just talking about independence – we’re building it, piece by piece, institution by institution.
The Texas Nationalist Movement applauds our legislature for its foresight in creating the Texas Bullion Depository and seeing it through to completion. Every milestone like this moves us closer to the day when Texans will have a real choice – continue being systematically robbed by a federal system that treats us like a cash cow, or assert our right to govern ourselves and control our own financial destiny.
That choice is coming sooner than most people think. And when it arrives, Texas will be ready.
