Blue Gold Limited completed the first minting of its Standard Gold Coins (SGC) on January 26 2026, a key milestone that moves the company’s “Mine‑to‑Wallet” strategy from concept to execution.
Each SGC represents one gram of fully allocated physical gold; the inaugural batch of 100 coins was distributed to 100 individual holders, creating the first on‑chain ownership of a physically‑backed gold token.
The minting was performed only after verified custody intake and compliance procedures were satisfied, and the company has secured a supply agreement for over 1 million ounces of gold through a partnership with DL Hudson Dunes, ensuring a reliable reserve for future issuances.
Blue Gold plans to open SGC to public purchase shortly thereafter; the announcement of the minting followed an earlier November 2025 disclosure that had already attracted more than one million pre‑registrations within five days, underscoring strong market demand.
CEO Andrew Cavaghan said the successful minting “brings gold fully into the digital age while preserving true physical ownership and verifiable backing.” Kris Meyer of Black Eagle Partners praised the transparent custody and governance, and former JP Morgan investment head Wesley Paul highlighted the company’s disciplined structure as essential for digital gold at scale. Blue Gold’s “Wallet‑of‑Wallets” platform, featuring biometric authentication, is part of the broader ecosystem that will support SGC holders.
Following the announcement, Blue Gold’s shares rose 6.54 % to $4.43, adding roughly $9 million to the company’s market value, a reaction driven by the successful execution of the minting and the strong pre‑registration numbers that signal robust demand.
