There is a conspiracy theory which states that some nazi gold and artifacts they stole were seized by American troops, who stole some to enrich themselves. How valid is this?

It’s not a conspiracy theory, it is a well documented fact. And they didn’t just steal from the Germans/nazis, lots of priceless and irreplaceable art from all over Europe ended up being shipped to the US.

To quote one of the articles I linked below: “It has famously been said about World War II soldiers that certain countries fought for certain things. Britain fought for Honor, Russia fought for the Motherland, Americans fought for Souvenirs.”
