Standard Gold Coin Officially Launches
On May 19, 2026, Blue Gold Limited (NASDAQ: BGL) announced the public launch of its Standard Gold Coin(“SGC”) and STANDARD wallet through the company’s newly launched corporate website.
SGC is Blue Gold’s proprietary digital gold instrument, which is designed to provide direct ownership of physical gold within a modern digital framework. Through the STANDARD wallet, eligible users can buy, hold, send, receive, and redeem SGC through a self-custody digital wallet experience built around transparency, accessibility, and physical backing of real gold.
The company’s new website serves as the public access point for the STANDARD wallet. Users can download the wallet directly from the site and access functionality designed for purchasing, holding, transferring, and redeeming digitally represented physical gold.
The company believes SGC is differentiated from existing gold-backed digital products through Blue Gold’s strategy to vertically integrate physical gold production with tokenized distribution infrastructure. While the initial launch of SGC is backed by sourced third-party gold bullion held in institutional custody, Blue Gold ultimately intends to tokenize gold sourced directly from its own and partner mining operations as they come online.
This could be one of the first gold mining companies capable of delivering their production directly to end users in digital form. The company intends for each SGC token to maintain a 1:1 direct relationship to allocated physical gold, with an infrastructure designed around transparency, custody integrity, and redemption functionality.
The company also announced that mobile applications for STANDARD Wallet are currently in development and are expected to become available through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in the coming weeks.
Anecdotally, we believe that thousands of SGC tokens have been purchased and issued already.
Valuation
We primarily use a long-term Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) to create a two-tiered target price for BGL stock. We also add a scenario analysis to create a range of values for the Bogoso Prestea mine.
Our Discounted Cash Flow process based on conservative growth and profitability estimates creates a near-term DCF-based valuation target of approximately $10.00 per share. Our target price may be conservative as it incorporates a high discount rate of 12.5% due to the unpredictability of earnings, new business model, prevailing interest rates, and the timeline for reaching net profitability.
However, we also add the value of the disputed Bogoso Prestea mine to create a long-term price target.
The scenario analysis below is based on the Life of Mine model underpinning the 2024 S-K 13000 Technical Report Summary prepared by Wardell Armstong and adjusted for different gold prices and discount rates. At any gold price above $3,000, the NPV of the mine exceeds the current market cap of Blue Gold. Under the $4,000 price scenario and an elevated Discount Rate of 20%, (to reflect the development stage of the project), that would add approximately $20.00 to the target price per share.
We also add our own In-Situ valuation calculation which discounts the gold price by 97.5% and is based on Measured & Indicated Resources. This creates a value of approximately $10.00 per share.
We apply the more conservative mine valuation to our short-term price target to arrive at a long-term price target of $20.00 per share for BGL. As the overall ecosystem model proves itself after the 1st full year of operations, there appears to be substantial upside above that price target.
It’s worth noting the value of the potential arbitration award of $1.0 billion is equal to approximately $19.00 per share. After accounting for legal fees, other costs, and a time value discount rate, an arbitration NPV value could be about $10.00 per share, still multitudes higher than the current stock price.
Summary
We believe the going forward Blue Gold Limited is poised for rapid revenue growth over the next 5-10 years due to successful execution of its digital ecosystem and the creation of a dynamic gold backed stablecoin. The technologically advanced platform that is being developed is essentially occurring now with the Standard Gold Coin having been launched in the 2nd quarter of 2026 and the STANDARD wallet platform expected to be rolled out in the 3rd quarter of 2026.
The whole operation will be fed by gold acquired through the company’s own and partner mines as well as supplemented by trading sources..
The company’s current stock price does not likely reflect that potential level of profitable growth going forward when these platforms generate positive cash flow and net earnings.
Our Discounted Cash Flow process based on conservative growth and profitability estimates creates a near-term DCF-based valuation target of approximately $10.00 per share. We also have a long-term price target of $20.00 per share which assumes the Bogoso Prestea mine is restarted.
BGL stock appears to be significantly undervalued at this time and represents material upside for investors going forward.
