Please explain to me how a government "reserve" of anything is beneficial to the citizenry? Theoretically, one could say that seeds or maybe even fuels could be distributed to the populace in the case of an emergency, but gold? crypto? Is the expectation that the government will provide gold or crypto to the populace in the case of an emergency? What kind of emergency would be solved by that? A government default on its obligations and/or currency? If that were to happen, would not the creditors demand the holdings of the reserve to satisfy their obligations first? Or does the theory involve a supposition that the citizenry IS the creditor? Does anyone actually believe that a government in peril would actually release anything of value to the citizenry?

A reserve of anything is simply stealing the rewards earned by the citizenry in order to ensure that the government, not the citizenry, will survive some kind of resource shortage/catastrophe. The benefit to the citizenry? Being able to go to sleep at night knowing that no matter how bad things get - food shortages, fuel rationing or confiscation, et cetera - the government will survive and continue to steal what little resources the citizenry may still earn or possess.
