On
March 17, 2025, the Company purchased a 3 (three) kilogram gold position for $295,328. Because the Company’s primary purpose for
purchasing gold was for investment purposes, the Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments
– Fair Value Option.” The fair value measure that fits the Company’s investment in gold is Level 1 because there
are quoted prices in active markets for the identical investment position. The Company reports changes in the fair value of its investment
in gold as unrealized investment gains (losses), net of the Company’s cost to sell to a known broker within the dealer market system
including commission.
