BitIRA | The Essential Guide to Digital IRAs

The World’s Most Secure Digital Currency IRA

Your retirement savings are critical to your future. That’s why we’re obsessed with the security of the assets that you place into your Digital Currency IRA.

With BitIRA’s revolutionary solution, we can confidently lay claim to offering our customers “The World’s Most Secure Digital Currency IRA”.

Other companies may offer some of these security measures, but NO ONE ELSE offers this combination of protocols that we’ve put into place. If you demand the highest level of security for your retirement savings, there is no better solution on the market. Here’s why…

Fully Insured

Insurance can be confusing, so we’ll keep this simple: “end-to-end” means your digital currency is insured, from transit to storage.

Whether your digital currency is in transit or in storage, it’s insured against:

    • Hacking or theft
    • Embezzlement or internal theft
    • Physical loss
    • Damage
    • Destruction

During transactions, your assets are 100% covered by insurance from Canopius (a Lloyd’s of London syndicate). While in storage, a $150 million insurance policy covers losses from third party and internal collusion. Put simply, it’s the best insurance we could find, at any price. 

 In case you were wondering, any cash that happens to be in your account with Equity Trust Company is FDIC insured up to $3.75 million.

Multi-Encryption & Multi-Factor Authentication

Encryption makes transactions more secure – but encryption can be broken. That’s why we use multi-encryption encoding for your transactions. Each additional layer of encryption makes the underlying information an order of magnitude more difficult for an adversary to overcome thus making your savings even more secure.

There’s No Device or Keys to Lose

You’ve probably heard scare-stories about bitcoin billionaires who accidentally flushed their crypto wallet down the toilet or misplaced their private keys and lost everything. That’s the exact opposite of how retirement savings should work. 

So we developed a bulletproof system. It works like this:

    1. We receive and validate incoming transactions. 
    2. As soon as the transaction is complete, we move funds into cold storage (see below), completely disappearing from the internet.

The benefits to you? You have no pocket gizmo to keep track of. You don’t have to worry about memorizing your private keys. And as far as hackers are concerned, your cryptocurrency has vanished. 

True Cold Storage

The easiest way to protect digital assets from hackers? Make them invisible. By storing your cryptocurrencies in a secure device completely disconnected from the internet, they simply vanish from cyberspace – until you need them. 

While offline, your funds are locked down in grade-5 nuclear bunkers, monitored and guarded 24/7 by specialist staff. Hackers? James Bond couldn’t get into this place. 

As far as we know, no other digital currency IRA company offers all these benefits.

 CCSS Compliant

With BitIRA, the entire process to create your Digital Currency IRA is compliant with Level 2 CryptoCurrency Security Standards (CCSS). This is the industrial group that defines global standards of security techniques and methodologies for cryptocurrency systems. Few Digital Currency IRA providers can meet the CCSS’s stringent and demanding requirements and earn Level 2 compliance.

Have you been looking for a Digital Currency IRA even more obsessed with keeping your money safe than you are? You’ve come to the right place. 

“For those who are concerned about the security of holding cryptocurrencies over the longterm… BitIRA has come to the market with the world’s first fully-insured cold storage solution for Digital Currency IRAs, or ‘end-to-end’ insurance.”

BitIRA customers range from novices to the crypto-savvy

Before you reached out to BitIRA, what was your level of interest in crypto? Had you bought cryptocurrencies before?

Customers said...

 “I’ve been really interested with the philosophy and fundamentals of [Bitcoin]. I felt that [Bitcoin] was going to be future for financing, investing, pretty much every aspect of life.”

— Samir B.

“When I decided to invest, I called several companies to evaluate fees for various scenarios including set-up and selling of crypto. BitIRA had the best deal under a variety of scenarios. I also talked to Jay who impressed me with his knowledge. In fact, I have talked with him a couple of other times and he was always very helpful in answering my questions.”

—Richard E.

Deciding on a crypto IRA

Take me through why you decided to invest in crypto within your IRA.

Customers said...

“I saw the way digital photography changed the world of photography. It was just better faster, smarter and so even the most hardcore old school photographer gave up on film and went digital. I think of money in the same way.”

— Dennis K.

“I chose BitIRA because I wanted to find a way to hold bitcoin itself in a Roth IRA, and after searching the web and asking around it was the only company I could find that looked legitimate. Once I reached out, I found that BitIRA’s salespeople were professional, prompt, responsive, transparent, knowledgeable, patient with my questions, and eager to help. I knew I had found the right company to handle this transaction for me. My experience working with BitIRA was great. Jeremy explained every step of the process to me, sometimes multiple times, and made sure I was comfortable each step of the way. There were no surprises or curve balls thrown. The process and fees were all explained well ahead of time and executed exactly as they had been explained.”

Daniel C.

Deciding on a crypto IRA

Why did you choose BitIRA over other bitcoin IRA options?

Customers said...

“There was no hard sell on sell on it. No pressure, [the sales representative] explained everything to me and followed up on my questions.”

— Gerard Q.

“The most dangerous thing about crypto assets, specifically BTC, is having none. I predict the term ‘1-coiner’ will be a meme sooner than later. Additionally, BTC is a necessary hedge, considering how irresponsible our central banks are being right now.”

David N.

Deciding on a crypto IRA

Which cryptocurrency is your favorite, and why?

Customers said...

“I don’t have a favorite really. They are just different things and they all do different things and you need to treat them as what they are …  Use them for what they are designed to do. Bitcoin’s the most important one, bitcoin can succeed on its own, all the other coins need bitcoin.”

— Tony S.

“I wanted a hedge against fiat currency. I wanted it to be with a full-service organization and I wanted it to be in a self-directed IRA.”

Bryan M.

Deciding on a crypto IRA

If you could tell the world one thing about crypto, what would it be?

Customers said...

“It’s irresponsible for someone not to hold at least some bitcoin.”

— Dennis K.

“Crypto is definitely worth including as a part of your investing strategy as a separate category. At this point, it’s still speculative (albeit no more so than any other startup/venture capital investment) but the potential is very high.”

—Keat L.
