Founded in 2012 by Keith Weiner, PhD, Monetary Metals aims to "unlock the productivity of gold" by creating a yield-generating gold standard. The company's core business model connects gold owners (investors) with gold-using businesses (lessees). Investors deposit their precious metals into an account and can choose to lease them to qualified businesses, such as jewelers and manufacturers, earning a yield paid in more gold. This system is designed to transform gold from a static, defensive asset into a productive investment that generates a return, distinct from relying solely on price appreciation.
