The Wyoming Reserve

What The Wyoming Reserve does

The Wyoming Reserve is a high-security precious metals vaulting and custody facility headquartered in Casper, Wyoming. Founded in 2021 as a Qualified Opportunity Zone Business, the company operates a planned 70,000-square-foot facility featuring UL-certified Class 3 vaults (the highest UL security classification), hardened steel and two-foot concrete flooring anchored to bedrock, man traps, 24/7 monitoring by contracted security and the Casper Police Department, and an activated U.S. Foreign Trade Zone designation. It also leverages Wyoming's natural high-altitude, low-humidity climate to slow metal oxidation. The company serves institutional clients including banks (Wells Fargo), government entities (State of Wyoming), international precious metals dealers (BullionStar), and public-company treasuries (Ault Global Commodities), storing nine figures of customer-owned gold, silver, platinum-group metals, rare earth elements, rare coins, and DAO physical assets.

The company's service portfolio spans five revenue streams: recurring vaulting and allocated (segregated) storage with blockchain-tracked ownership; transactional precious metals buying and selling with spreads and markups; outsourced fulfillment services with daily inventory reconciliation; dedicated supply sourcing through global distribution relationships; and Metals Availability Agreements providing financial flexibility on stored inventory. Independent audits are performed quarterly by Alfred H. Knight and annually by FORVIS. Transportation infrastructure includes armored carriers (Brinks, IBI Armored), private on-site rail, and daily commercial flights from Natrona County International Airport, while co-location with Scottsdale Mint enables convertibility and contract manufacturing.

Commercially, The Wyoming Reserve pursues an enterprise field-sales motion targeting institutional investors, banks, corporations, and government entities. The company is privately held (legally The Wyoming Reserve Opportunity Zone Fund Corporation), has raised approximately $26.1M through SEC-registered securities offerings toward a $50M planned raise, and operates with a 1-10 person team. Recent partnership wins in 2026—including Wells Fargo, the State of Wyoming, BullionStar, and Ault Global Commodities—signal rapid institutional adoption, while the Foreign Trade Zone status enables tariff-deferred and tariff-exempt storage for international clients. The company also accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Solana as payment for precious metals.
