Background

SD Bullion grew out of SilverDoctors.com, a precious-metals blog launched in January 2011 by two pharmacy students who became avid bullion investors. After SilverDoctors gained an audience, the pair launched SD Bullion as a retail storefront in 2012, promising the lowest prices in the online bullion market. The company is headquartered in Ottawa Lake, Michigan, and Tyler Wall serves as co-founder and president. SD Bullion grew rapidly, appearing on Inc. magazine's list of 5,000 fastest-growing U.S. companies five separate times, and has reported shipping more than 1.5 million orders and generating over $4 billion in cumulative revenue. By 2025 the company ranked second in U.S. online bullion e-commerce behind APMEX. Its content — articles, videos, and a podcast — consistently frames precious metals as protection against currency debasement, government debt, and Federal Reserve policy, a perspective that aligns with the libertarian and 'sound money' tradition popularized by figures such as Ron Paul. Coverage of the Trump administration has leaned supportive: the site published enthusiastic articles about Trump's 2025 calls for a Fort Knox gold audit and Elon Musk's involvement through DOGE, and it has covered Trump-era tariff developments primarily through the lens of their effects on gold and silver prices. No significant editorial controversies or corrections have been widely reported, though a 2025 finance-watchdog site raised fraud-and-deception allegations against the company's business practices.
