The Sticky Inflation Era: Three U.S. Stocks That Protect and Grow Your Wealth

From 2024 to 2025, the global economy is entering an entirely new phase. Interest rates are falling, but inflation refuses to come down—a structure known as “sticky inflation.” The U.S. CPI remains stuck in the 3% range, and considering inflation and income tax, real returns on bank deposits are close to negative, meaning your assets naturally melt away over time.

Amid this uncertainty, many people are accumulating dollars. However, from the second half of 2025, the U.S. fiscal deficit and intensifying global trade conflicts could shake the dollar’s dominance. This means we must move beyond simply “protecting assets” and adopt a strategy that uses inflation to grow wealth.

Hidden Gems for an Inflationary Era: 3 U.S. Stocks the Wealthy Are Buying

The three U.S. stocks introduced today are not for short-term trading. They are companies structurally designed to protect and grow assets even during sticky inflation or stagflation. These are stocks that wealthy and long-term investors are quietly accumulating.

1) First Asset: Gold Streaming Company WPM

Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM) is not a simple gold mining company. Instead of operating mines, it provides funding to mining companies and receives the right to purchase gold/silver at extremely low fixed prices through a “streaming” model.

For example, if the company secures gold at $400 per ounce, and the market price is $2,600, most of the difference becomes pure profit. Because WPM doesn’t operate mines, it is free from rising labor, equipment, and energy costs—its greatest strength.

Key Strengths of WPM

Absorbs gold price increases almost 100% with no cost pressure
40% production growth expected over the next 5 years
Extremely low debt and strong financial health
Stable dividends linked to gold prices

It’s not “physical gold,” but a more efficient way to track gold prices while minimizing cost risk—making WPM a true ultimate inflation hedge.

2) Second Asset: Inflation-Linked Infrastructure Company BIPC

Electricity, water, telecommunications, ports, and railroads are essential services used even during economic crises. And as the AI era rapidly expands, the value of power grids and data-center infrastructure is increasing even more.

Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (BIPC) owns essential infrastructure across major global locations. It is structured to offer tax advantages to individual investors compared to BIP.

Key Strengths of BIPC

85% of contracts automatically increase fees according to inflation
Explosive growth in AI and data-center infrastructure demand
Hybrid portfolio: old economy (ports/railroads) + new economy (data centers)
Stable 3–4% dividend yield

Companies whose revenues automatically rise with inflation are extremely rare. With BIPC, “inflation becomes revenue.”

3) Third Asset: South American Agriculture & Food Company AGRO

Warren Buffett once said, “Gold doesn’t produce anything, but farmland grows crops every year.” When the dollar weakens, the true power lies in food and land.

AGROMAPU S.A. (Ticker: AGRO) owns vast farmland across Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay—some of the world’s richest agricultural zones—producing grains, sugar, milk, ethanol, and other essential food products.

Key Points of AGRO

Geopolitical risk has strengthened the price floor of food commodities
Vast South American land = strong hedge against dollar volatility
Backed by Tether (USDT) operators
Trading below book value, PER at historical lows

AGRO is the most undervalued among the three, a true value stock to accumulate quietly while everyone else is chasing AI and semiconductor trends.

Shiny tech stocks aren’t the only answer. In times of crisis, “real-asset-backed companies” always show their true strength.

Conclusion: What These Crisis-Resistant Assets Have in Common

The three stocks—WPM, BIPC, AGRO—share one core trait: they are all real-asset-based companies whose value remains even if currencies fluctuate.

WPM → Gold, the eternal asset
BIPC → Electricity, data centers, railroads—core infrastructure
AGRO → Food and land, humanity’s essential resources

You can’t predict short-term price volatility, but looking 1 or 5 years ahead, the person holding these companies is more likely to be wealthier than someone just holding dollars.

Review your portfolio. Now is the time to reduce meaningless cash holdings and add inflation-hedging assets rather than concentrating solely on growth stocks.

You don’t need to buy immediately. But if you add them to your watchlist and observe, opportunities always go to those who are prepared.
