What is a Crypto IRA?

A Crypto IRA (Individual Retirement Account) is a self-directed retirement account that allows you to invest in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets while enjoying the same tax advantages as traditional IRAs. With iTrustCapital, you can buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies 24/7 with low fees and tax-free growth potential.

Traditional retirement accounts limit your investment options to stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. A Crypto IRA expands your investment horizon to include the rapidly growing digital asset class, providing diversification and exposure to innovative technologies that are shaping the future of finance.

Why Invest in Gold Through an IRA?

Gold has been a store of value for thousands of years and remains a crucial component of a well-diversified investment portfolio. By holding physical gold in a Gold IRA, you can protect your retirement savings against inflation, currency devaluation, and economic uncertainty while enjoying tax advantages.

iTrustCapital makes it easy to add physical gold to your retirement portfolio. Our platform allows you to buy and sell IRS-approved gold coins and bars with transparent pricing and secure storage in accredited depositories. Unlike paper gold investments, you actually own the physical metal, providing tangible security for your retirement.

Security & Storage

At iTrustCapital, security is our top priority. We employ industry-leading security measures to protect your assets and personal information.

Cryptocurrency Storage: We partner with leading institutional custodians who store digital assets in cold storage with multi-signature technology and insurance coverage.

Gold Storage: All physical gold is stored in IRS-approved, fully insured depositories with allocated storage, meaning your specific assets are segregated and identified as yours.

Account Security: We implement two-factor authentication, biometric login options, and advanced encryption to secure your account access.

Tax Advantages of Crypto & Gold IRAs

iTrustCapital offers both Traditional and Roth IRA options, each with distinct tax benefits:

Traditional IRA: Contributions may be tax-deductible, and your investments grow tax-deferred until withdrawal during retirement.

Roth IRA: Contributions are made with after-tax dollars, but qualified withdrawals in retirement are completely tax-free, including all investment gains.

Both account types allow you to avoid capital gains taxes on trades within your IRA, providing significant advantages for active investors compared to taxable brokerage accounts.
