Overview
- Tucker Carlson co-founded Battalion Metals with North Dakota bullion dealer Christopher Olson, who previously worked at family-run Treasure Island Coins.
- Battalion sells gold, silver and platinum for purchase, offers company storage in a branded “Battalion Bunker,” and promotes home storage options.
- The firm markets precious-metals IRAs holding physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium as tools for diversification and crisis hedging.
- In a Wall Street Journal interview, Carlson called the U.S. dollar “doomed” and said the country is seeing “the end of the postwar order.”
- Carlson says he rejected lucrative pitches to endorse other gold sellers and vows not to “scam” buyers, as past reporting has found some firms charge steep markups and lean on conservative endorsements.
