IS THIS SAFE?

Yes. Our digital wallet provider is BitGo, the leader in multi-signature encryption. BitGo generates three unique keys for your protection. The first key stays with the wallet provider, Bitgo. The second key is stored in an air-gapped computer with your custodian, Kingdom Trust. The third key is kept by Keytern.al, a data recovery service. You need to use two of the three keys to access the funds.

WHAT IS BITCOIN / CRYPTOCURRENCY?

Bitcoin is arguably the best known example of cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency is a digital form of currency that uses cryptography to secure transactions and create new units. Transactions occur in a peer-to-peer framework using blockchain technology.

CAN I SPEND THE CURRENCIES FROM MY DIGITAL IRA?

Spending or withdrawing the funds from any IRA account before you reach the retirement age of 59 ½ will result in early withdrawal penalties. Any IRA account is meant to be a fund drawn upon only after you retire. Selling your funds is approved so long as it is used to reinvest in an IRA or is held in your BitGo wallet in a liquid state.

CAN I USE THE CRYPTOCURRENCY THAT I ALREADY OWN TO FUND MY IRA ACCOUNT?

At this time, you cannot roll your current cryptocurrency into an IRA. The IRS requires buying into a cryptocurrency based IRA be done with US dollars.

WILL THERE BE PENALTIES FOR TRANSFERRING MY ASSETS?

We will ensure that your transaction is 100% IRS compliant, which will not result in any fees.

WILL I PAY TAXES ON MY DIGITAL IRA ACCOUNT?

According to an official IRS ruling, digital currencies are legally eligible to be held as an asset for a self-directed IRA account. That means your account will receive tax deferred status, allowing it to appreciate in value without immediate tax liability. After you reach retirement age of 59 ½ and begin withdrawing funds, you will pay taxes at that time.
