Treasure Investments Corporation (TIC), the parent company of Foundry Michelangelo, will present at The MoneyShow Las Vegas, inviting potential investors to explore an emerging alternative asset class that combines tangible fine art with intrinsic precious metal value. The company will exhibit at Booth #301 throughout the conference and deliver three educational sessions on investing in this unique asset class.

Why it matters

As investors seek diversification beyond traditional assets, TIC's model of pairing fine art with precious metals could provide a new avenue for alternative investments. The company's exclusive casting rights and expansive master mold collection represent a differentiated offering in the fine art and collectibles space.

The details

TIC specializes in bronze and precious metal sculptures and holds the exclusive rights to cast 72 original masterpieces from the Vatican collections in gold and silver through the historic Marinelli Foundry in Florence, Italy. This includes 28 works by Michelangelo, such as the Pietà, David, and the Battle of the Centaurs. The company is currently working on casting Michelangelo's 17-foot David in 43,000 oz. of pure silver, which is projected to become the largest and heaviest pure silver sculpture ever created.

  • The MoneyShow Las Vegas will take place from February 23-25, 2026.
  • Michael Sheppard, Partner and Director of Investor Relations for TIC, will deliver three educational sessions during the event on February 23 and 24.
