Mainstream Bitcoin: From Corporate Treasuries to IRAs

Bitcoin has gained mainstream acceptance, now appearing in corporate treasuries and spot ETFs. One way to further integrate it into portfolios is by holding it in a retirement account, specifically an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). This allows tax-deferred or even tax-free growth for long-term investors.

A Bitcoin IRA differs from buying BTC on a regular exchange. Instead, it's typically held through a self-directed IRA (SDIRA) or custodial solutions. However, this comes with rules, costs, and security risks that investors should consider before funding one.
