SchiffGold Now Accepts Bitcoin

We are excited to announce that through a new partnership with BitPay, we now accept bitcoin payments! We are the largest precious metals dealer in the world to do so. Speak with one of our Precious Metals Specialists today for more information. Read the full press release below.

NEW YORK – BitPay, world leader in business solutions for Bitcoin digital currency, announces a partnership with SchiffGold (formerly Euro Pacific Precious Metals). Based in New York City, SchiffGold is a major international gold and silver dealer – and the world’s largest by volume to accept bitcoin to date.

SchiffGold is led by famed investor Peter Schiff and specializes in making high-quality bullion coins and bars part of its customers’ financial portfolio. The company has built a reputation for calling out unsavory practices in the gold dealer industry, and for its honest and competitive pricing across all product categories. Executives at SchiffGold regularly seek out new ways to make transactions easier and cheaper for its customers, which is why BitPay was chosen.

“Bitcoin offers tremendous benefits as a medium of exchange for both our domestic and international customers. A wire transfer of fiat funds can be slow and expensive for the customer, and credit card fees are too high to absorb at the low premiums we offer. Not only does BitPay’s service make business sense, but we are excited about giving owners of bitcoin the opportunity to inexpensively and reliably convert any excess holdings into precious metals rather than back to fiat currency,” said Michael Finger, Director of Marketing at SchiffGold.

This partnership marks another major milestone in the acceptance of bitcoin worldwide, as larger and more global companies embrace the digital currency.

“We are very excited to form a partnership with SchiffGold, especially right on the heels of our collaboration with Toshiba. BitPay is honored to have a role in helping such global and established companies integrate bitcoin into their payment systems, ” said Tony Gallippi, Executive Chairman of BitPay.

BitPay is attracting merchants who sell low-priced goods where credit card fees are expensive and high-ticket items such as gold and silver where chargebacks are common and costly. Accepting bitcoins allows merchants to make these transactions irreversible, while eliminating the risk of fraud and identify theft for the buyer.
