There is a number that tells you more about a company than anything it says in its own marketing. That number is revenue growth — verified, audited, undeniable.
Ours just put us at No. 1006 on the 2026 Inc. 5000.
That is up 921 places from No. 1927 last year. It is our second consecutive year on the list. And it is one of the most straightforward answers we can give to the question every serious retirement saver eventually asks before choosing who to trust with a decision this important.
Are you growing? Can you prove it?
Yes. And yes.
What the Inc. 5000 Actually Measures
Inc. magazine does not publish this list based on reputation, longevity, or marketing spend. The Inc. 5000 is built from verified revenue figures across a three-year period. Companies either grew or they did not. The numbers either hold up to independent scrutiny or the company does not appear.
We are No. 1006.
We were one of only a handful of precious metals firms in the country to earn a place on the 2026 ranking. Not because we are the oldest company in this space. Not because we spent the most on advertising. Because the Americans who came to us with retirement decisions stayed with us, referred their friends and family, and came back.
That is what audited revenue growth actually measures. Trust, expressed in numbers.
The Clients Behind the Ranking
Every position on this list represents a real person who made a real decision.
A 64-year-old who had been watching inflation eat into the purchasing power of savings built over 35 years of work. A retired teacher trying to understand whether her 403(b) could hold something more tangible than a mutual fund. A business owner who had read enough about the national debt to start asking harder questions about what his retirement was actually built on.
These are the people behind No. 1006.
“This is a milestone for our team and for every client who trusted us with a retirement decision,” said Mike Anderson, Chief Operating Officer at Priority Gold. “More Americans are choosing to hold physical gold and silver, and they are choosing to do it with us. That is what this ranking reflects.”
He is right. The growth we are celebrating did not happen in a vacuum. It happened because a specific set of forces in the American economy have been pushing serious retirement savers to ask a question they had not asked before.
Why This Moment Produced This Growth
The three years measured by the Inc. 5000 ranking were not ordinary years for American retirement savers.
Inflation ran above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target for five consecutive years. The dollar lost approximately 20% of its purchasing power since 2021. The national debt crossed 100% of GDP for the first time since World War II. Social Security’s own trustees projected the program’s trust fund could be depleted as early as 2032. The bond market — the supposed safe half of millions of retirement portfolios — delivered some of its worst multi-year returns in modern history.
Against that backdrop, a question that had once felt abstract became urgently personal. Is a retirement portfolio built entirely on stocks, bonds, and dollar-denominated accounts truly diversified? Or is it fully exposed to the same set of forces simultaneously — inflation, monetary policy, government fiscal decisions — with nothing outside that system to hold its ground?
The Americans coming to Priority Gold in record numbers were answering that question for themselves. And the answer they arrived at was the same one that central banks around the world are currently acting on at the sovereign level: physical gold and silver belong in a serious long-term portfolio.
What We Actually Do
Most clients come to us with a version of the same question. I have money in an old 401(k) or an existing IRA. I want to move some of it into physical gold or silver. How do I do that without triggering taxes or penalties?
The answer is a precious metals IRA. A self-directed retirement account that holds real, physical metal instead of — or alongside — conventional paper assets. When funded through a direct rollover from an eligible 401(k), 403(b), TSP, or traditional IRA, the transfer is completely tax-free and penalty-free.
We handle the paperwork. We coordinate with the custodian. Metals are stored at Delaware Depository, one of the most respected precious metals storage facilities in the country, with Equity Trust Company serving as IRA custodian. Every purchase is backed by a buyback program that carries no fee — so if a client ever needs to sell, they are not charged for it.
The process is designed to be exactly as uncomplicated as the decision to make it is important.
“Our clients are making a long-term decision,” Anderson said, “and they want to know the company behind it will be there for the long term too. Two straight years on a list built from audited revenue is one way we answer that.”
What Our Track Record Says
The Inc. 5000 ranking is one proof point. There are others.
Priority Gold holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, a AAA rating with the Business Consumer Alliance, and a 4.9 rating on Trustpilot — built from the reviews of real clients who worked through real transactions and shared what the experience was like. Forbes Advisor named Priority Gold its Most Popular Gold Company in 2026. Rich Dad recommends Priority Gold. We are a Proud Partner of the Texas Rangers.
Each of these credentials reflects something different. The BBB and BCA ratings measure how we handle disputes and complaints. The Trustpilot score reflects how clients feel about the experience of working with us day to day. The Forbes recognition reflects how a sophisticated financial publication evaluated us against our peers.
Together they describe a company that does not just talk about being trustworthy. One that has built a documented record of it, across multiple independent evaluations, over multiple years.
What Comes Next
A ranking is a moment in time. What it means depends on what you do with it.
For us, No. 1006 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 is not a destination. It is a confirmation. Confirmation that the Americans who are rethinking what their retirement savings are built on are finding their way to us. Confirmation that when they arrive, they are being treated well enough to stay, to refer others, and to deepen their relationship with the company.
The forces that drove this growth — inflation, monetary uncertainty, a national debt with no clear resolution, a bond market that has not provided the stability retirement portfolios were designed around — have not resolved. If anything, they have deepened. The retirement savers who found Priority Gold in the years measured by this ranking were early in a conversation that millions more Americans are only beginning to have.
We intend to be there for that conversation. With the same transparency, the same straightforward process, and the same buyback guarantee that has no fee attached.
That is the story behind No. 1006.
Bonds Just Hit 5% – Your Retirement Should Pay Attention
Most Americans with retirement accounts have been told the same thing for decades. Keep some money in stocks for growth. Keep some in bonds for safety. When stocks go down, bonds go up. That balance is what protects you.
