#9 Buying Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency with your Self-Directed IRA

Tax lawyers Mat Sorensen and Mark Kohler explain how you can own Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies with a self-directed IRA. They outline the legal and tax issues when buying outside an IRA and how a retirement account such as a self-directed Roth IRA can be tax efficient. They outline the process of rolling over funds to a self-directed IRA, investing them into an LLC (IRA/LLC) and linking the LLC bank account to a wallet/exchange, and then using those dollars (fiat currency) for cryptocurrency on an exchange. They also cover the commonly asked storage questions and tax reporting items that commonly are asked.
