Buy gold with Bitcoin

Yes — you can pay for physical gold directly with Bitcoin. At MetalReserve you pick a bar or a bullion coin, pay on-chain or over Lightning, and we deliver the metal to your address, insured and neutrally packed.

Every price is based on the LBMA spot price plus a transparently stated premium. The conversion rate is locked for 15 minutes when you pay, so Bitcoin's volatility does not work against you.

Discretion

No bank, no account, no data profile

Pay with Bitcoin and you hand over no IBAN and no card number. Nothing appears on a bank statement, no record is created at a payment provider, and no credit agency is queried. We collect only what the invoice and insured delivery require — and log no IP addresses while doing it.

The process

How buying with Bitcoin works

Five steps from basket to insured delivery. You need no exchange account and no bank transfer.

1

Choose a product

Bars from 1 g to 1 kg, or bullion coins such as the Krugerrand and Maple Leaf. The price shows the spot price and the premium separately.

2

Choose Bitcoin

At checkout, select Bitcoin on-chain or Lightning. We convert the euro amount into BTC at the current rate.

3

Lock the rate

The price lock holds the rate for 15 minutes. Send the amount from your own wallet inside that window — non-custodial stays non-custodial.

4

Confirmations

Two on-chain confirmations, usually around 20 minutes. Over Lightning the payment is final immediately.

5

Insured delivery

Neutral packaging, transit insurance for the full value, delivery against signature within 2–5 working days.

An honest comparison

Physical gold or tokenised gold?

Tokenised gold such as PAXG or XAUT represents gold on a blockchain. The premium is lower and it trades in seconds — but it remains a claim against an issuer and that issuer's vault.

Physical bars and coins cost a 2–5% premium and have to be stored. In return there is no counterparty, no smart-contract risk and no issuer that can fail. If you hold Bitcoin for self-custody reasons, physical gold follows the same logic.

Quality

Where our metal comes from

Bars come exclusively from LBMA-accredited refineries, coins from state mints. Every bar carries its fineness, mint mark and serial number; larger units arrive in a sealed assay card.

Common questions

Buying gold with Bitcoin — your questions
