C3 Fund I
Redefining Gold Investment
C3 Fund I, a pioneering closed-end fund registered and regulated in Bermuda, is now a reality with a launch date for Q2 2026.
As the investment manager, C3 Bullion brings its deep expertise, experienced team, and strategic business plan to deliver the world’s first private credit strategy repaid in physical gold.
This unique fund allows investors to capture mine revenues without the risks or high costs of owning a mine.
With a minimum investment of just $25,000 USD, C3 Fund I makes gold-backed returns accessible to investors worldwide, offering higher yields than physical gold bars, greater security than paper gold, and lower risk than owning a mine. At the end of the 5-year term, investors can choose to receive physical gold or have it liquidated into cash through our trusted partners.
As the first of many investment pools managed by C3 Bullion, C3 Fund I paves the way for larger funds and opportunities with sovereign entities.
