The Gift of Gold: Smart Gifting & Tax Considerations for 2025
On this episode of America’s Gold Authority® Podcast, host Mike Barnes welcomes Philip N. Diehl, President of U.S. Money Reserve and former Director of the U.S. Mint, along with Brad Chastain, U.S. Money Reserve’s Director of Education. Together, they explore why gold continues to play a meaningful role during the holiday season—from traditional gifts to strategic IRA decisions.
They discuss how global demand from countries like India and China shapes prices for jewelry and other gold products, and why many families still rely on physical gold to help safeguard wealth during uncertain times. The conversation shifts to IRAs, including how rollovers, contributions, and required minimum distributions work for those looking to strengthen their retirement plans before the year’s end. Diehl and Chastain explain how physical gold inside an IRA can help support diversification at a moment when stocks and bonds are becoming more closely correlated, and why many advisors are rethinking their own allocations.
Looking ahead, the experts highlight how parents and grandparents are using precious metals to help younger generations build a foundation of stability in a rapidly changing economy. With volatility rising and long-term risks building across markets, gold’s resilience and historical performance offer a timely reminder of why it remains a trusted asset.
