Costco makes 9 figures a month selling gold; Now it is offering platinum bars


Full story

In times when markets may prove volatile, many move away from the trading and move toward the tried and true method of collecting precious metals. Lately, some have questioned the efficacy of keeping their funds digitally, and are moving back to these valuable commodities.

Many turn to metals like gold and silver, hoping they’ll retain their value, and one retail giant is even capitalizing on this growing interest.

After the massive success of its gold bars in 2023, Costco has expanded its collection, and it’ll now be including platinum.

With a Costco membership, customers can pick up a one-ounce Swiss-made platinum bar for $1,089.99.

Earlier this year, Wells Fargo estimated that Costco may be selling up to $200 million a month in gold alone.

Meanwhile, gold spot prices have risen by 45% in the past year and platinum is up 14%.
