Proven Offshore Strategies Against Dollar Decline

Written by Brandon Roe

Especially since the beginning of the year, one theme has come up repeatedly in conversations with clients: concern about the decline of the US dollar.

The US government continues to spend as though debt doesn’t matter, and the question many people are now asking is how long the dollar can retain its dominant role in global markets.

Whether or not the dollar loses its reserve status quickly, the pressure is real. Rising debt levels, political gridlock, and shifting trade relationships all point toward an environment where relying exclusively on dollar-denominated assets carries increasing risk.

The goal of this discussion is not alarmism, but preparation. There are practical steps US investors can take to reduce exposure to these risks. We’ll look at four key areas that continue to matter for international diversification today:

• Precious metals,
• Multi-currency bank and brokerage accounts,
• International real estate, and
• Crypto.

Each brings its own advantages and limitations. The point is not to treat them as silver bullets, but to understand how they work—and how they can be combined into a broader, more resilient international strategy.
