one rock measuring 3,000ft across that contains $5.4 trillion worth of platinum. Good news for consumers purchasing new catalytic converters.

You don’t even have to ship it.
Just claim it.
Then use it as collateral......................

>>Once that much metal becomes available, the price will drop to cheaper than water !<<
The cost of retrieval and processing, as well as quantity manipulation, will keep that from happening for quite some time.

The costs to mine them and return them to earth may negate the profits.

Costs a HUGE amount to get to space, and a HUGE amount for the fuel to propel the payload. Not worth it.
Plus, that much of a product will have the price plunging. Remember “supply/demand” that they don’t teach in schools any more?
The current quoted price of a commodity doesn’t give you what your holding is “worth.” You have to sell it first. It is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Faulty calculations based on incomplete understanding.

Something I’ve never seen addressed with the talk of space mining is how the material will be brought down to earth. Will there be a fleet of re-entry vehicles like space dump trucks waiting to do the job? Just how is it to be done?

Gold, silver and other precious metals will no longer be precious, if these are available in huge quantities. If this happens, then it is time for Bitcoin.
