Milestone Marks Further Monetization of Blue Gold’s Business Model through Expansion into the Proprietary Gold Trading Market, in Partnership with Commodity Trader DL Hudson Dunes
NEW YORK, Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blue Gold Limited (Nasdaq: BGL) ("Blue Gold" or the “Company”), today announces that it has expanded its partnership with DL Hudson Dunes (UAE) to include a
The gold trading facility is targeted at acquiring gold from mines and licensed aggregators globally, leveraging Blue Gold’s existing network of relationships in the sector. Blue Gold is targeting 2-3 trades per month with a projected profit margin of between
Andrew Cavaghan, CEO of Blue Gold Limited commented, “Our relationship with DL Hudson Dunes enables us to create two distinct revenue streams and value drivers for our shareholders:
- "Tokenisation of gold creates on-ramp fees of up to
3% every time we create and sell a gold-backed token. Once created Blue Gold then receives transaction fees of circa0.02% every time that token changes hands thereafter. This essentially embeds an annuity income for the Company, similar to having Assets Under Management (AUM) for a fund management business. The 1m oz gold supply agreement with DL Hudson Dunes, announced on December 2, 2025, gives us the capacity to create$4.2b n of tokens in circulation at today’s gold prices.
- "Proprietary trading (announced today), enables Blue Gold to move upstream of the token and capture an additional margin by acquiring gold at a discount to the gold price (targeting
1% -5% net profit). We will do this by working with long-term trusted relationships, who are licensed gold producers. The$15m trading facility announced today gives us the capacity to complete between$30m and$45m worth of gold trades each month with a1% -5% profit margin.
"In the future we plan to move further upstream to capture the larger gold production margins through mining. This will be via the anticipated restart of the Bogoso and Prestea mine (following the resolution of the lease dispute), and through the acquisition and operation of other mines in West Africa and Latin America, where we are actively engaged in various acquisition processes.
"Downstream (of the tokenized gold) we are seeking to capture additional margin through the introduction of our fintech wallet, by Q3 2026, which will enable holders of the Standard Gold Coin to spend their token through the ‘One App’, including via a branded credit or debit card. This will generate additional fees for Blue Gold and make the token more accessible to holders.
"Overall, our business is focused on capturing margin at each stage of the gold production, tokenisation and spending lifecycle, to create a blend of high-quality recurring revenue (tokenisation) and higher margin transactional activities, namely proprietary trading, mining, and fintech services.”
