New York, Feb 8, 2026, 04:57 EST — The market has closed.
Gold.com, Inc. popped 9.9% to finish Friday at $55.32 after a flurry of company headlines put the stock under the microscope for next week. Volume surged to 1.37 million shares, more than double its three-month average, Investing.com data show. 1
U.S. markets are closed for the weekend, and that puts focus on Gold.com, where business depends on flow and financing—think ongoing demand for coins and bars, slim spreads, relentless hedging against swings in metal prices. When funding, distribution, or payment systems shift, the company can feel the impact almost immediately.
New headlines shove the company into unfamiliar territory. A bullion dealer jumping into crypto infrastructure—this isn’t your usual capital raise. Investors want to see how regulators and clients react when trading gets going again.
Gold.com announced it reached a definitive agreement with TPM, S.A. de C.V.—the entity better known as Tether—to sell 3.371 million shares at $44.50 apiece, totaling $150 million. That price represents an 11.9% discount to the stock’s 10-day VWAP, according to the company, which highlighted the volume-weighted metric as a standard for such placements. Out of the total, $125 million is slated to close up front. The remaining $25 million hinges on regulatory signoff. The deal isn’t just about equity: it comes with a board seat, a gold leasing facility commitment of at least $100 million, and the possibility for future stablecoin-based payments. “Tether’s investment validates our strategy,” CEO Greg Roberts said. Juan Sartori of Tether called the move a next step as “real-world assets” connect with blockchain infrastructure. 2
Gold.com’s website spells it out: the company isn’t tied to Barrick Mining Corp (NYSE:B), nor does it have any connection to the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSEArca: GLD), the ETF tracking gold prices. 3
The company’s quarterly results announcement showed up in a Form 8-K filing dated Feb. 6, which also put its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange as GOLD. 4
But here’s the risk: that second tranche still hinges on getting approvals. If they decide to take stablecoins for payment, expect regulators to dig deeper into controls and customer vetting. All this while their core business remains vulnerable to metal price volatility and changing retail appetite.
Gold.com turned in $6.48 billion in revenue for its fiscal second quarter ended Dec. 31, with net income attributable to the company coming in at $11.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted share. The company wrapped up its purchase of Monex Deposit Company, a direct-to-consumer dealer, in January. Premium spreads — the markup over spot metals — remained compressed, Roberts noted, while silver’s “backwardation,” where near-term prices top those further out, pressured results with trading losses and higher interest expenses driven by rising financing and metal lease rates. The board is paying out a 20-cent quarterly dividend on March 4 to shareholders of record as of Feb. 20. 5
