Crypto IRA
A self-directed individual retirement account that allows you to hold cryptocurrency with tax-advantaged status.
Explained Simply
A Crypto IRA lets you invest in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies within a tax-advantaged retirement account. Traditional Crypto IRAs offer tax-deferred growth (pay taxes on withdrawal), while Roth Crypto IRAs offer tax-free growth (pay taxes on contribution). Providers like iTrustCapital, Bitcoin IRA, and Alto offer these accounts. Crypto IRAs have unique considerations: higher fees than standard IRAs, custodial requirements, and early withdrawal penalties. They are only available in certain jurisdictions.
