Common questions from United States buyers
Is buying gold with crypto legal for U.S. residents?+
Yes. Both gold ownership and cryptocurrency are legal at the federal level. The BTC-to-bullion exchange is treated as a barter, and you incur a BTC disposal event for tax purposes (consult a CPA).
Will my U.S. delivery be reported to the IRS?+
Only if it crosses FinCEN Form 8300 thresholds ($10,000+). Below that, no automatic reporting. Note FinCEN aggregates linked transactions — see our AML policy.
How long does FedEx take to reach the U.S.?+
1 business day from EU/Switzerland to the U.S. East Coast, 2 business days to the West Coast.
