Costco’s Gold Bars: A Safe Haven Investment

For savvy shoppers looking to invest in precious metals, Costco has become an unexpected destination. In late 2023, the warehouse giant started selling 1-ounce gold bars, offering customers the choice between the PAMP Suisse Lady Fortuna Veriscan bar and the Rand Refinery bar, priced at $1,979.99 and $1,949.99, respectively. Despite the high price tag, both options quickly became popular with buyers.

According to Business Insider, Costco’s then-CFO Richard Galanti revealed during a September 2023 earnings call that the gold bars were selling out within hours of being listed on the website, with a limit of two bars per member. Fast forward to today, and not much has changed except for the price.

As of June 2, 2025, the Rand Refinery 1-ounce gold bar is listed at $3,369.99, while the PAMP Suisse version is priced at $3,389.99. This marks a significant 73% and 71% increase, respectively, in less than two years. However, this price surge is in line with the broader gold market, which has seen a 72% increase over the same period. What’s even more surprising is the continued demand for these gold bars.

Both the Rand Refinery and PAMP Suisse gold bars are currently out of stock on Costco’s website, with the company implementing stricter purchase limits. Customers are now restricted to one transaction per membership, with a maximum of two units allowed every 24 hours.

Gold has always been seen as a reliable way to preserve purchasing power, especially during times of economic uncertainty. Unlike fiat currencies, gold cannot be printed at will by central banks, making it a popular choice for investors looking for a safe haven asset. In the current volatile market conditions, gold has emerged as a bright spot, with prices continuing to rise.

High-profile investors like Jeffrey Gundlach and Ray Dalio have expressed bullish sentiments on gold, with predictions of further price increases in the future. While Costco’s gold bars may be out of reach for some investors, there are alternative ways to invest in gold, such as opening a gold IRA with the help of Priority Gold. Gold IRAs offer tax advantages and the ability to hold physical gold or gold-related assets within a retirement account, providing a hedge against economic uncertainties.

In addition to gold, real estate has also proven to be a valuable asset for preserving purchasing power. Crowdfunding platforms like Arrived and Homeshares offer investors the opportunity to invest in income-generating properties without the hassle of property management. With the housing market continuing to show strong growth, real estate remains a solid investment option for those looking to diversify their portfolios.

In conclusion, while Costco’s gold bars may be in high demand and out of stock, there are still plenty of opportunities for investors to capitalize on the benefits of precious metals and real estate. Whether you choose to invest in gold bars, gold IRAs, or real estate crowdfunding platforms, it’s essential to consider all options carefully and seek professional advice before making any investment decisions.
