  • A Bitcoin IRA is an IRA with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies in its portfolio.
  • To the IRS, bitcoins are considered and are taxed as property.
  • A few advantages of bitcoins are that they diversity portfolios, are expected to grow in popularity and availability, and may benefit investors with favorable tax treatment.
  • A few disadvantages include hefty fees, extreme volatility, and limited global use in business.

When investors refer to a “Bitcoin IRA,” they are referring to an IRA that has Bitcoin or other digital currencies within its portfolio of holdings.

Since Y 2014, the IRS has considered Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in retirement accounts as property, meaning coins are taxed in the same fashion as stocks and bonds.

IRA holders looking to include digital tokens in their retirement accounts must enlist the help of a custodian.

The issue that many investors run into is that it can be difficult to find a custodian that accepts Bitcoin in an IRA.

Fortunately for those individuals committed to including Bitcoin in their IRAs, self-directed IRAs (SDIRAs) more frequently allow for alternative assets like cryptocurrencies.

Recently, custodians and other companies designed to help investors include Bitcoin in their IRAs have become popular.

Individuals may find that including Bitcoin or altcoin holdings may add diversification to retirement portfolios. This may help to protect those retirement accounts in the event of a major market downturn or Black Swan activity in the future.

Perhaps more than diversification, investors inclined to add Bitcoin holdings to their IRAs believe that cryptocurrencies will continue to grow in popularity and accessibility into the future.

With their long-term outlook, IRAs are an excellent vehicle for investments that hold major potential on the scale of decades.

For those determined to invest in Bitcoin, it may be possible to avoid hefty capital gains taxes by including digital currencies in certain types of retirement accounts.

Now, service providers are offering incentives for individuals to get into cryptocurrencies.

Have a prosperous day, Keep the Faith!
