According to Costco Chief Financial Officer Richard Galanti, the corporation had to restrict the quantity of bars released in one hand to two units since the demand for gold bars is so high that each fresh batch is sold out quickly.
Jonathan Rose, co-founder of the Genesis Gold Group fund, said that individuals are looking for safe assets like gold and silver due to ongoing high inflation and impending issues in the commercial real estate market.

According to Rose, selling bullion is an excellent method to promote the Costco brand and garner positive reviews.
