About Monetary Metals
Monetary Metals helps gold owners earn returns and precious-metals businesses finance inventory. Its marketplace connects them through gold leases. Customers can also earn silver yield and buy gold bonds. Gold owners may store gold at no charge, lease it for 3% to 4% annually or lend it for higher returns.
Economist and entrepreneur Keith Weiner founded Monetary Metals in 2012 and serves as its founder and CEO. The company is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, and serves clients worldwide.

Why Investors Backed Monetary Metals
Monetary Metals runs a marketplace where gold owners seek yield and precious-metals businesses seek financing. Its model puts customer gold to work as business inventory. New equity capital is supporting further development as the company expands the platform.
The problem it targets
Monetary Metals targets the traditional view that gold is an asset without income. Jewelers and refiners also need financing for metal inventory. Monetary Metals argues that its gold-denominated model can serve both groups more efficiently than traditional bank financing. Owners seek yield while businesses obtain metal for operations.
What the product does
Gold owners provide metal through leases. Jewelers and refiners use that gold to finance inventory. The resulting yield is denominated in gold and returned to owners. The marketplace serves owners seeking income and precious-metals businesses seeking financing.
Progress so far
Deployed gold more than doubled year over year. The company has funded more than 80 opportunities and paid clients thousands of ounces. It was named to the top 8% of the 2026 Inc. 5000. In 2025, Monetary Metals partnered with Streamex on gold-bullion yield, with $1 billion in near-term lease capacity. It announced leases for Bhima Group and Kavitha Gold and Diamonds. It also acquired TJS, appointed Burson Buchanan as its global public relations agency and added Jeffrey Rhodes to expand gold leasing. Another partnership with Goldstrom Group covers gold lease financing.
Who backs it
Existing shareholders participated again in the September financing. New investors also joined the round. The financing brought total capital raised to nearly $25 million.
