I don't know, what would they do with a kg of gold in space? I think the only raw materials that would be worth anything in space today is like water, rocket fuel, oxygen, hydrogen etc. We generally only send finished goods into space, like satellites. Raw metals would only be valuable to keep in space if you had some manufacturing capability there. Also I think we are really really far away from doing something like manufacturing a satellite in space. So in general, I don't think that "2 kg of anything" in space is worth 1kg of gold on earth.
