From 2km underground
to the digital age of
gold.
Troygold was founded by brothers who grew up in the gold mining industry and set out to solve a simple problem: gold is the world's most trusted store of value, but you can't do anything useful with it. We built a platform that changes that — real vaulted gold you can buy from R10, borrow against, and redeem.
Give everyone access to gold-standard finance.
For millennia, gold was the foundation of money. Then in 1971, Nixon ended the gold standard — and fiat currencies began their inexorable slide. Over 50 years later, gold has appreciated by over 8,000% while every major currency has lost 97%+ of its value. The mechanism is always the same: a government, facing debts it cannot repay, prints its way out. The citizen pays.
We believe everyone — regardless of where they live, what passport they hold, or which government is mismanaging their currency — deserves savings that hold their value. So we built Troygold: Real gold, in your pocket.
Built by people who
understand gold.
Troygold’s story began with two brothers from Africa, who got the chance to study finance in the Big Apple.
Around the time of the Great Financial Crisis, they witnessed firsthand the public riots against Wall Street’s bank bailouts and the many televised debates on government stimulus packages (read: wholesale money printing).
Growing up, however, they were instilled with the principles of free-market economics and the virtues of sound money - reading the likes of Mises, Hayek, and Rothbard.
These experiences and having seen both the wealth erosion and societal ills that money printing brought to their native surroundings, set them on a mission to change it.
After brief stints in investment banking, they set out on a journey into gold.
They created a successful gold mining business in the goldfields of South Africa; learning about the metal from rock face to market.
In 2019, they launched Troygold - to bring back the power of gold for all.
