New York, January 5, 2026, 17:10 EST — After-hours
- Gold.com shares were up 4.5% in after-hours trading after the company said it closed its Monex acquisition.
- Gold.com said Monex generated $835 million of total revenue in 2024 and held $630 million in assets under custody as of Sept. 30, 2025.
- Spot gold climbed to a one-week high amid a flight to safety, with traders eyeing the U.S. jobs report due Jan. 9.
Gold.com shares rose 4.5% to $36.33 in after-hours trading on Monday after the precious-metals dealer said it closed its acquisition of Monex Deposit Company.
The deal matters now because the company is expanding into a bigger retail-and-storage platform just as investors rush into bullion and related products. Gold.com makes money by selling and servicing precious metals and collectibles, businesses that can see activity spike when prices swing.
Gold prices jumped after U.S. strikes in Venezuela revived safe-haven demand, pushing spot gold up 2.7% to $4,444.52 an ounce by early afternoon in New York. “The situation around Venezuela has clearly reactivated safe-haven demand,” said Alexander Zumpfe, a precious metals trader at Heraeus Metals Germany.

Gold.com said it closed the previously announced Monex acquisition on Jan. 2. Monex, founded in 1987, generated total revenue of $835 million in 2024 and held $630 million in assets under custody — metals stored for clients — as of Sept. 30, 2025, the company said.
The company also said it bought an additional 24.5% equity stake in U.K.-based Atkinsons Bullion & Coins, lifting its ownership to 49.5%. Atkinsons reported revenue of more than $370 million in calendar 2025, Gold.com said, and the company holds an option beginning in December 2027 to raise its stake to 75%.
Gold.com’s update also flagged a collectibles windfall: it said its Stack’s Bowers Galleries business sold the final “Omega” pennies for about $16.76 million in an auction conducted for the U.S. Mint. Gold.com, Inc.
Gold-linked equities moved higher alongside bullion. Newmont rose 2.3% on the day and Royal Gold gained 3.7%, underscoring the sector bid as investors bought protection against geopolitical risk.
Gold.com, formerly A-Mark Precious Metals, shifted its listing from Nasdaq to the NYSE in December and changed its trading symbol to “GOLD,” a filing showed. SEC+1
But the upside case rests on execution. Gold.com’s own filings warn that integration difficulties and unanticipated costs can weigh on results, and a reversal in gold prices — often tied to shifts in U.S. rate expectations — can cool demand after a surge.
Next up, traders are focused on the U.S. Employment Situation report for December 2025 due on Friday, Jan. 9, a key data point that can reset rate-cut bets and, in turn, the gold price.
