Kinda confused myself. Either "hoarding" or "holding" would work in this instance, no?

Of course either works - but IMO, hoarding isn`t appropriate for Nazis gold, since Nazis don`t exist anymore. Hence, the Swiss hold gold (bars, scrap) which was obtained from any source - Nazis, Inca, African, Klondike, etc.
Unless of course we find that this gold is indeed Nazis memorabilia - gold swastikas, gold SS rings, etc. - that hasn`t been melted down, not put in a museum, etc. - then hoarded.
I have a brother who hoards gold – he worships it, pulls it out and admires it, polishes it, dreams of it, buries it and digs it back up (honest), etc. He hoards gold, but does not hold gold (except when it is physically in his hands).
