1. Gold.com Reports Fiscal Q2 2026 Results

Gold.com, Inc. delivered robust financial performance for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, with revenues surging 136% year-over-year to $6.48 billion and gross profit more than doubling to $93.4 million. Net income attributable to the company rose 77% to $11.6 million, translating into diluted earnings per share of $0.46, up from $0.27 in Q2 FY 2025. Non-GAAP EBITDA climbed 109% to $33.9 million, while adjusted net income before tax surged 74% to $23.2 million. Despite a slight compression in gross profit margin to 1.44%, results benefited from higher sales volumes—545,000 ounces of gold sold versus 466,000 ounces a year earlier—and strengthened operational leverage following the integration of Monex Deposit Company. The quarter also saw the company complete its rebrand to Gold.com, transfer its listing to the NYSE under the symbol GOLD, relocate its headquarters to Costa Mesa and announce a quarterly cash dividend, underscoring management’s confidence in sustained growth and shareholder returns.

In a landmark transaction, Gold.com entered into a definitive agreement with Tether to sell 3.371 million common shares at $44.50 per share, raising $150 million in gross proceeds. Of this, $125 million was funded at signing and the balance will be drawn upon regulatory approval. The investment price reflected an 11.9% discount to the 10-day volume-weighted average price as of February 4, 2026. Under the agreement, Tether will gain the right to nominate one board member and both parties will pursue commercial collaborations, including a minimum $100 million gold leasing facility provided by Tether, acceptance of Tether’s stablecoins as payment on Gold.com’s platforms, and mutual promotional activities. Gold.com will reinvest $20 million of the proceeds into Tether’s XAU₮ gold-backed stablecoin, aiming to blend its physical bullion infrastructure with digital finance to expand global distribution and enhance the credibility of digital gold solutions.
