Monetary Metals raises $10.5m to grow gold yield platform

Tue Sep 22 2026

Monetary Metals, the global Gold Yield Marketplace platform that lets gold owners earn a return on their bullion, has closed a $10.5m equity financing round, comfortably beating its original $10m target.

The round drew strong participation from both existing shareholders and new strategic investors, helping push the raise past its initial goal. The fresh capital takes the total amount Monetary Metals has now raised to close to $25m.

The proceeds will go towards further developing the Monetary Metals Gold Yield Marketplace. The firm said it is on a steep growth path, having more than doubled the volume of gold it deploys year on year, and was recently placed in the top 8% of businesses on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list.

Founded in 2012 by economist and entrepreneur Keith Weiner, Monetary Metals was built to challenge the long-held view that gold is an unproductive asset. Its model allows gold owners to lease their metal to precious metals businesses, such as jewellers and refiners, who use it to fund their inventories, in turn generating a yield that is paid back to owners in gold.

Beyond the core marketplace, Monetary Metals describes its offering as unlocking the productivity of gold, giving investors a yield on gold paid in gold, while providing gold-using businesses such as mints, miners, refiners and jewellers with simplified financing.

Monetary Metals founder and CEO Keith Weiner said, “The continued support we receive from investors reflects growing recognition that we have not only created a new category of gold ownership – gold fixed income – but that we are the leader in that category. Because of Monetary Metals, gold is a productive, income-generating asset for clients across the globe.

“We are seeing strong growth across both sides of our marketplace, from gold owners seeking gold-denominated yield to precious metals businesses accessing more efficient financing solutions than those offered by traditional banks. We are grateful to our investors for supporting our vision of unlocking the productivity of gold and for their continued confidence in our mission as we scale the platform and expand its reach.”
