Championing precious
metals for over a decade

Building institutional infrastructure for physical precious metals custody, trading, and execution

Our Story

Modernizing the world's oldest asset class.

Gold Bullion International (GBI) operates the GBI Platform, providing institutional infrastructure for physical precious metals to wealth managers, family offices, and financial institutions.
Founded during the 2008 financial crisis by former Goldman Sachs partner and CEO Steven Feldman, GBI was created to give investors a transparent, agency-based platform for owning physical bullion within existing financial accounts.

Today, the GBI Platform combines institutional trading networks, secure global vaulting, and seamless software integration. Serving wirehouses, broker-dealers, RIAs, and private banks, GBI manages $8.5B+ in assets under administration and $2.7B+ in annual trading volume, enabling advisors to offer portfolio diversification and inflation hedging without building proprietary commodities infrastructure.
