Wyoming must hold precious metal investments
Beginning January 1, 2026, Wyoming's treasurer must hold at least $10 million in gold and silver assets in the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund. The treasurer may invest in precious metal leases or bonds payable in precious metals when market conditions warrant. The treasurer may also hire established precious metals firms or industry experts. Contractors must provide financial disclosures and meet any other requirements the treasurer sets before signing a contract. These changes affect state investments, not direct household payments. The law also requires the Department of Revenue to study how the state can accept gold and silver payments. Results and any legislative recommendations are due October 1, 2025, to the Joint Revenue Interim Committee and Select Committee on Capital Financing and Investments.
