THE DIRECT ANSWER
Both reviewed trusts ended June 2026 with fewer gold ounces and fewer quarter-end shares
From March to June 2026, GLD ending gold ounces changed by -3.9%, quarter-end shares by -3.9% and reported gold fair value by -16.1%. IAU ending gold ounces changed by -2.6%, quarter-end shares by -2.5% and fair value by -14.9%. These are differences between quarterly stock facts—not daily fund flows, not investor cash flows and not a global ETF total.

The bars use one unit within each panel. The evidence table retains filing date, report date, direct-versus-derived ounce mapping and source-document hash.
What changed from 2026-03-31 to 2026-06-30
These are differences between two quarterly stock observations. They combine market-price effects, trust activity, expenses and timing; they are not ETF cash-flow measurements.

HOW TO READ THE EVIDENCE
Four clocks and four meanings must remain separate
Fair value and shares describe the trust at the reporting date.
The SEC submission arrived after quarter end; it is not a live signal.
GLD ounces are directly reported; IAU ounces are derived from issuer-reported shares and ounces per share.
Corrections are compared by accession and document hash before any baseline replacement.
AMENDMENT POLICY
A later amended accession wins only after its facts are separately mapped
The maintenance proof has accessed amended GLD and IAU filings and records their accession identity and SHA-256. Older amended formats do not expose the same inline-XBRL facts, so they are retained as version evidence but excluded from this normalized four-row baseline. A new amendment never silently overwrites a reviewed record.
