NASA plans to send a rocketship and collect it for themselves.
But now that the golden asteroid has been found, and its location
known, it will become the property of whoever gets it first.

Getting there is the easy part, getting parts of it back to Earth is probably 50 to 100 years in the future. By then the world fiat money economy will be history anyway.
The European Rosetta mission, that landed a small rover on an asteroid, cost
EUR1.3G. That's 32.5 tons of gold with today's value.
And Rosetta wasn't even designed to return to Earth with it's rover. The cost for that would probably mean that for a decent ROI, they'd have to return 100 tons of pure gold to Earth. As I said, maybe in half a century or more, but not today or tomorrow.
