Does Coinbase Offer an IRA?

Yes, Coinbase offers an IRA. Here’s how it works:

Coinbase allows customers to connect their bank accounts, debit cards, and credit cards to the Coinbase account. This way, when customers want to buy Bitcoin, they can use any of the connected payment methods to do so.

The customer’s Coinbase account will then be credited with the purchased Bitcoin.

Coinbase also offers an IRA service. Customers can use the IRA to invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

NOTE: WARNING: Coinbase does not currently offer IRA services. If you are interested in investing through an IRA, it is recommended that you speak with a financial professional to find an appropriate solution for your individual needs. Additionally, any investments made through Coinbase are not FDIC insured, so please be aware of the risks associated with investing in crypto-currencies.

The IRA is managed by a company called Kingdom Trust. Kingdom Trust is a qualified custodian that is regulated by the South Dakota Division of Banking.

The benefits of using Coinbase’s IRA include:

-The ability to grow your investments tax-deferred
-The ability to make contributions with pretax dollars (up to $5,500 per year for those under age 50 or $6,500 per year for those over age 50)
-The ability to take distributions at any time without penalty
-The ability to choose how your assets are invested (you can choose to invest in just Bitcoin, just Ethereum, or both)

If you’re thinking about investing in cryptocurrency through an IRA, Coinbase is a good option to consider.
