Palantir buys $50M in gold bars

Palantir buys $50M in gold bars

Palantir Technologies Inc., which counts Peter Thiel as its largest shareholder, is investing in gold at a time when more U.S. companies are focusing their efforts on cryptocurrencies.

The Denver-based big data company this month bought $50.7 million worth of 100-ounce gold bars, according to a regulatory filing.


The gold will initially be stored by a third party somewhere in the Northeastern United States. Palantir can take delivery at any time after giving reasonable notice.

Palantir declined to elaborate on the purchase when contacted by FOX Business.

The purchases come as a number of U.S. companies have sought to diversify their cash holdings into other assets, mainly bitcoin.

MicroStrategy Inc., Tesla Inc. and Square Inc. are among those corporations that have in recent quarters added bitcoin to their portfolios.

Tesla said it is considering its own investments in gold bullion.

Gold futures contracts traded at New York’s COMEX have traded between $1,692.60 and $1,831.30 per ounce this month.

The precious metal is down 5.65% this year at $1,785 an ounce. It closed at a record high of $2,051.50 an ounce on Aug. 6, 2020.

Palantir was founded by venture capitalist and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel in 2003. The company went public at $10 per share on Sept. 30, 2020, and closed at $24.50 on Monday.

Some people are waking up that gold and silver are the only real money in the world. The US paper dollar is just a promissory note and even states that on the front of the bill. And crypto is no better as it is not even something you can hold in your hand as it and fiat money are made with just the push of a button on a computer
