Overview

Gold.com, Inc. director Jeffrey D. Benjamin reported the sale of company shares that produced $2.6 million in proceeds, according to a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The trades took place across two days in mid-February 2026 and were executed in separate transactions at slightly different average prices.


Transaction specifics

On February 17, 2026, Benjamin sold 20,000 shares of Gold.com common stock at a weighted average price of $58.33 per share, yielding $1,166,600. The sale price for those shares ranged between $58.00 and $58.69.

The next day, February 18, 2026, he sold an additional 25,000 shares at a weighted average price of $57.64 per share, producing $1,441,000. That second tranche traded within a price range of $57.50 to $57.90.


Post-transaction holdings

The shares that were sold were held indirectly by Spouse’s 2012 Family Trust. After completing these transactions, Benjamin still holds substantial equity positions in Gold.com: he indirectly retains 766,000 shares through the Jeffrey D. Benjamin 2012 Family Trust and directly owns 685,268 shares.


Market context and valuation signals

Gold.com shares have climbed 119% over the past year and were trading at $58.67 at the time of reporting. InvestingPro analysis cited in the filing places the stock above its Fair Value estimate and lists the company among those classified as Most Overvalued.


Concurrent corporate and analyst activity

Separately, Gold.com entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with TPM, S.A. de C.V., an affiliate of Tether Global Investments Fund, for a $150 million private placement of common stock. Under that agreement, TPM will acquire 3,370,787 shares at $44.50 per share, representing an 11.9% discount to the recent average market price. The placement will be executed in two tranches.

In the equity research arena, DA Davidson raised its price target for Gold.com to $53.00 from $45.00 while maintaining a Buy rating. The firm attributed its adjustment to higher spot prices for gold and silver and heightened market volatility. DA Davidson also adjusted its price target for Barrick Gold Corp., increasing it to $60.00 from $53.00 and maintaining a Buy rating after Barrick exceeded second-quarter revenue and profit estimates.

Risks

  • The InvestingPro assessment that GOLD is overvalued introduces valuation risk for equity investors, affecting the broader financial markets and the equities sector.
  • The private placement is being executed at an 11.9% discount to recent average market price, which may dilute existing shareholders and affect equity supply-demand dynamics in the market and finance sector.
  • Insider selling, even with significant residual holdings, can create uncertainty about executive and director confidence in near-term equity performance, influencing investor sentiment in the equities and precious metals sectors.
