A method is provided to produce a metal borohydride other than sodium borohydride and sodium methoxide. In a method for producing a metal borohydride, M(BH4)n, from a slurry of sodium borohydride and a sodium alkoxide in a liquid hydrocarbon, the method comprises the steps of: (a) mixing the slurry of sodium borohydride and a sodium alkoxide with 0.99 to 1.01 equivalents of a metal salt, M(X)n, and methanol, wherein M is Li, K, Rb, Cs, Mg, Ca, Sr or Ba; X is halide, alkoxide or acetate; and n is 1 or 2; (b) filtering the mixture to collect M(BH4)n; and (c) separating oil and methanol liquid phase to obtain a sodium methoxide in a methanol solution.
