==The Texas Bullion Depository
The Only State-Run Depository Prepares to Go Global==
In summer 2018, Texas began operating the nation’s only state-run bullion depository, a highly secure, government-backed storage facility comparable to the U.S. Bullion Depository in Fort Knox, Kentucky, which holds federal gold reserves. Now the Texas Bullion Depository (TxBD), which experienced a surge of deposits during the earlier phases of the global coronavirus pandemic, aims to provide its services to a wider range of clientele and make lasting impacts that extend well beyond the Texas border.
A 40,000-square-foot facility for TxBD was constructed on 10 acres in Leander, Texas, just north of Austin. The new purpose-built facility, which was completed in January 2020, replaced TxBD’s temporary location in north Austin.
The new facility has two storage options: a Class III vaultExternal Link (the highest security level) that can hold up to 12 million ounces of gold, platinum or palladium, and a highly secure storage area that can hold more than 17.5 million ounces of silver.
