PR Web

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 06, 2018

IRA Financial Group, the leading provider of self-directed IRA LLC and Solo 401(k) Plans , has surprisingly seen continued strong demand from retirement account investors seeking to use IRA or 401(k) plan funds to purchase cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin and ethereum.

Bitcoin is down about 67% since that December high, and in the six days of February alone, it has fallen 35%. "We have been surprised with the number of retirement investors who feel so strongly about the cryptocurrency market especially in light of the recent downturn," stated Adam Bergman, a partner with the IRA Financial Group.

IRA Financial Group & IRA Financial Trust Company's Crypto IRA platform with wallet control will allow retirement account holders to buy, sell, or hold Bitcoins and other cryptocurrency assets and generate tax-deferred or tax-free gains, in the case of a Roth IRA. The primary advantage of using a self-directed IRA LLC to make Bitcoin IRA investments is that all income and gains associated with the IRA investment grow tax-deferred or tax-free in the case of a Roth IRA.

IRA Financial Group & IRA Financial Trust Company has partnered to offer a total control private key Bitcoin IRA LLC platform for cryptocurrency investors. With IRA Financial Group's private key crypto solution, the retirement account holder have total control over his or her cryptocurrencies and can hold them through an exchange or via a digital or hardwallet. No need to pay commissions and account value fees to IRA custodians, with IRA Financial Group's "Wallet Control" IRA one can take control of their cryptocurrencies. IRA Financial Group's self-directed IRA LLC is an IRS approved structure that allows one to use their retirement funds to make Bitcoin and other investments tax-free and without custodian consent.

IRA Financial Group is the market's leading provider of self-directed retirement plans. IRA Financial Group has helped thousands of clients take back control over their retirement funds while gaining the ability to invest in almost any type of investment, including real estate without custodian consent.

The IRA Financial Trust Company, a self-directed IRA custodian, was founded by Adam Bergman, a partner with the IRA Financial Group. Mr. Bergman is a leading expert on the taxation of retirement funds and has authored multiples articles on how to use a self-directed IRA to buy cryptocurrencies.

Adam Bergman, IRA Financial Group partner, has written six books the topic of self-directed retirement plans, including, "The Checkbook IRA", "Going Solo," Turning Retirement Funds into Start-Up Dreams, Solo 401(k) Plan in a Nutshell, Self-Directed IRA in a Nutshell, and in God We Trust in Roth We Prosper.
