World’s Most Secure Digital IRA
As one of the nation’s leading specialists in Digital IRA setup and management, BitIRA® works with a wide range of customers who wish to reap the benefits of digital currency assets inside their retirement savings portfolio.
At BitIRA, we firmly believe that Americans should have access to more choice of assets available within their tax-advantaged retirement account. Therefore, one of our primary goals is to help our customers understand how digital currencies can serve as a powerful tool to achieve their unique objectives for saving for the future, while offering a simple, straightforward path to use that tool effectively.
The BitIRA® Mission
A few things have changed over the years since BitIRA offered the first fully-insured cold storage solution for digital assets. BitIRA set the industry standard by becoming the first bitcoin IRA company to register as a money services business (MSB) with the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
Despite the changes in the law and in technology, the core BitIRA mission remains the same as it was on day 1:
Prioritize Investor Education
Informed decision making is paramount for growth, profitability and security in your investments for retirement. BitIRA is committed to giving our customers an honest, transparent view of what digital currencies can offer, and how this burgeoning asset class could position your nest egg for long-term benefit.
Provide Tailored Attention
There is no “one size fits all” solution when it comes to your retirement investing strategy. BitIRA works to serve each customer’s unique goals, with respect to the advantages and limitations of their individual situation. Our specialists are well-versed in the benefits of all of the most popular digital currencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and Litecoin, and can share with you why one may serve your objectives more than another.
Demystify the Complex
Given how new this asset class is, the concept of a Digital IRA as well as the cryptocurrencies that they hold can be intimidating to some. This is why BitIRA strives to make the benefits of owning such investments accessible to anyone. From helping you open and fund your new Digital IRA, to explaining the intricacies of digital currencies and their respective markets, we’re always by your side.
Prioritize Investor Education
BitIRA aims to deliver the highest level of customer satisfaction humanly possible. We refuse to settle for anything less. Regardless of your experience level, investment goals, or familiarity with Digital IRAs, we believe that every customer should receive the same degree of integrity and service that our reputation is built on. If you’d like more background on why others like yourself made the move into crypto IRAs and how they describe the experience of owning crypto inside an IRA, click here.
Who Is BitIRA®?
In March 2014, the Internal Revenue Service issued IRS Notice 2014-21, which officially declared that for tax purposes, Bitcoin and other digital currencies are treated as property. Due to the rules governing self-directed IRAs, this notice also meant that digital currencies were eligible assets to be held inside IRA accounts. However, creating and managing an IRA with digital currencies was still complex and difficult.
BitIRA was founded in 2017 to offer average investors a solution to that problem.
BitIRA offers a simple, streamlined process for investors to open IRS-compliant Digital IRAs – where cryptocurrencies can be held and grown under special tax-deferred status.
First-Class Pedigree
BitIRA has been founded by the team from Birch Gold Group, one of the nation’s leaders in helping Americans purchase physical precious metals for placement in an Individual Retirement Account. Together, our team has over 100 years of experience in placing alternative assets into IRAs, plus a fully-staffed, in-house IRA Department to do most of the heavy lifting for setting up your Digital IRA. We’ve worked with all of the large custodians of retirement accounts, like Fidelity, Edward Jones and Merrill Lynch, so we know how to get digital currencies in your retirement quickly, efficiently and safely.
Our Reputation
BitIRA prides itself on keeping a firm reputation for quality and excellence. We know your trust deserves to be earned, never given blindly. That’s why we constantly share our customers’ feedback and reviews, and why we’re A+ Rated by the BBB. We were also recognized by the International Business Times in their latest list of the Hottest Fintech Startups 2021. This list consists of fintech disruptors and innovators who are helping to create a smarter, inclusive world. BitIRA was the first digital asset company to successfully register with the U.S. Department of the Treasury as a money services business
Commitment to Your Security
Your retirement savings may represent several decades of saving, and we don’t take the gravity of this lightly. There’s a reason BitIRA pioneered the world’s first fully-insured cold storage solution for digital assets. More recently, we have partnered with Ledger Enterprise, a world leader in digital asset storage and security and all our customer’s digital assets are protected by multi-signature authentication, which prevents having a single point of vulnerability by requiring authorization from multiple devices before any transaction can be approved. Beyond ensuring the highest of security protocols from the wallet service to hold your digital currency, including protecting your assets with end-to-end insurance (read more here), we have taken the voluntary step of registering with the U.S. government, and subjecting ourselves to their regulations. BitIRA is one of the few Digital IRA companies that has done this.
First-Hand Experience
We don’t just help others take advantage of the opportunities in today’s digital currency markets; we actively pursue those same opportunities ourselves. As a result, we’re able to offer unique support to our customers that only first-hand experience allows.
Strategic Partnerships
Our core strategic partner is Equity Trust Company, which act as the custodians for our customers. Your transactions will be conducted through our exchange partner, Galaxy Digital, with a real-time, over-the-counter trading platform from the most advanced digital asset trading and liquidity company on the planet. When not trading, your assets are further secured through our partnership with Fireblocks, the most trusted web3 security company in the business.
The Digital IRA Specialists
We focus solely on helping investors navigate the often-complex and confusing world of Digital IRAs. Our team helps you every step of the way – from rolling over funds from an existing account, to avoiding penalties, to funding digital currency purchases, to trading inside your new account, and to doing everything possible to advance your personal investment goals.
Dedication to Empowerment through Knowledge
Understanding the concepts behind personal finance, retirement savings, and cryptocurrency need not be difficult or feel beyond anyone’s reach. With our efforts such as keeping Digital Currency Specialists on-hand to assist customers through our BitIRA U Initiative, we strive to provide clarity to all of our customers and to facilitate education for the public wherever possible. We are firm believers that knowledge can overcome fear and empower individuals to make the best decisions for themselves and their loved ones.
