titleCrypto Investing with Retirement Funds: a How-To Guide for 2018
bodyWith the recent boom market in Bitcoin, ICOs, and other cryptocurrencies, many U.S. investors ask if it is possible to invest in cryptocurrencies with retirement. The good news is that yes, it is but that it is slightly more complicated due to the regulatory rules surrounding retirement accounts. In this article, I will explain the various ways to “unlock” retirement funds so that you can invest them in Bitcoin and Ethereum as well as in ICOs and other alt-coins. My background is that I’m the Founder and CEO of [Maverick Retirement](https://www.maverick401k.com), a company that specializes in helping people unlock retirement funds for investing in alternative assets. We spent a good part of 2017 helping clients get into the crypto-market so what follows comes from that experience and our general expertise in the rules of tax advantaged retirement accounts. But first, why would you want to invest retirement funds in cryptos anyway? ### Why People Use Retirement Funds for Crypto-Investing #### Gains can be Tax-Deferred With a traditional retirement account no taxes are due on investment gains until you retire or otherwise withdraw the funds. So if you hold cryptocurrencies in a retirement account you do not have to pay annual taxes or any other taxes until retirement. For example, if Bitcoin goes to the moon and you can decide to take profits, you can then invest 100% of those profits instead of the much smaller amount that would be left if you had to pay personal income taxes on those gains. #### ...or Gains Can Be Tax Free Alternately, if you use a Roth retirement account to invest in cryptocurrencies, you will never have to pay taxes on your crypto-gains at all. The reason is that with a Roth account you pay income taxes on your capital prior to make investments - i.e. Today - but then you do not pay income taxes on those funds when you withdraw them at retirement. Fun fact: famous venture capitalist Peter Thiel invested in Facebook using Roth funds. So not only did he make billions of dollars on Facebook but the only taxes he will ever pay are the taxes he paid on the initial investment. #### Retirement Investing is the Ultimate HODL Finally, if you are truly long a cryptocurrency, then having some of your holdings in a retirement account is ultimate HODL since you cannot withdraw retirement funds until retirement. Many investors find this focuses them on the long-term and makes HODLI’ing easier. So how do you unlock retirement funds for crypto investing? ### How You Unlock Depends on How You’re Employed Due to how the U.S. tax code is written, the method you use to unlock your retirement funds will depend on whether you have self-employment income or whether all of your income is from an employer. #### If You’re Self-Employed If you’re self-employed - even part-time - then you are most likely eligible for a self-directed Solo 401(k). This is the best option because it has the lowest costs and it gives you the greatest control over your retirement funds. While most retirement accounts have limited investment options, a self-directed Solo 401(k) is more like a bank account in that it holds your funds but it does not limit where you can invest them. The investment process into cryptos looks like this with a self-directed Solo 401(k): - Setup a self-directed Solo 401(k) plan - Rollover existing funds to the self-directed Solo 401(k) or make contributions - Open an account with an exchange in the name of Solo 401(k) - Transfer funds from the Solo 401(k) to the exchange - Trade Overall, I highly recommend this path if you qualify. In addition to the lower costs and easier setup, a self-directed Solo 401(k) also allows enables to you to invest in other alternative assets such as real estate and private companies. It also offers the ability to take loans if ever needed. #### If You’re Not Self-Employed If you are not self-employed, you can still use retirement funds for crypto investing via an IRA. However, this path has numerous disadvantages because it requires an IRA custodian. In simplest terms, an IRA custodian is a company that sits between your retirement funds and wherever you decide to invest them with. They do not provide investment advice or anything else; they just issue the payment. As you likely guessed, an IRA custodian adds both extra costs and delay to every investment you make. In addition, Self-Directed IRAs are a particularly poor choice when it comes to cryptocurrencies, because: - The few Self-Directed IRA companies that sell Bitcoin charge exorbitant fees of 10-15% per transaction - Few Self-Directed IRA companies sell cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin - None of them support ICOs - You have to issue payment instructions to them via phone or email then wait. Good luck timing your orders. #### A Better Way: Checkbook IRA The alternative I recommend is a legal structure called a Checkbook IRA. A checkbook IRA is similar to a self-directed Solo 401(k) in that you as the investor have full control over your funds so you can issue payments for investments without requiring a middleman or per transaction fees. A Checkbook IRA is setup like so: - One sets up an a self-directed IRA with an IRA custodian and funds it - One hires a third party to create an LLC and open a bank account for it - One instructs the self-directed IRA company to buy the LLC and name you as the manager of the LLC - One opens an exchange account in the name of the LLC and funds it from the LLC bank account Frankly, I did my best to shorten this process for the sake of readability. But in the real world this process typically takes several weeks whereas the Solo 401(k) can be setup in a day or so. That said, once the Checkbook IRA is setup you can now invest retirement funds into cryptocurrencies - as well as other alternative assets - without needing to pay a custodian per transaction or to wait for them. ### Alt-Coins Whichever way you choose to unlock your retirement funds, things are much easier you are holding a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. At that point you can buy alt-coins and ICOs as you see fit. The key thing to remember though is never ever put retirement funds into an account opened in your personal name as opposed to an account opened in the name of your retirement plan. I.e. all accounts that require a legal name and tax Id should be opened as “Your Name Solo 401k Trust” or “Your Name Checkbook IRA LLC” not “Your Name.” ### Frequently Asked Questions: ##### Can I use an IRA or a 401(k) from a brokerage to invest in crypto? Short answer: no. You may be able to invest in an exchange traded fund like GBTC but no brokerage currently offers an account that allows for the direct investment in crypto-currencies. While many brokerages offer a “self-directed” IRA or Solo 401(k), they generally limit the investment options to exchanged traded securities and explicitly do not support cryptocurrencies. #### Can I rollover money from an IRA at a brokerage? Almost always yes. The notable exception is that Roth IRA funds cannot be rolled over to a Roth Solo 401(k). #### Can I rollover money from my employer’s retirement plan? It depends on the plan. Ask your HR department if your plan supports “in-service rollovers” to find out for sure. #### Can I transfer money from my retirement account into my pre-existing exchange account? The exchange is being slow. No. Absolutely do not do this. Doing so will create a prohibited transaction which will have significant tax consequences. #### Can I setup a Solo 401(k) or Checkbook IRA by myself? No. In either case you will need significant plan documentation and legal know-how. #### Conclusion As you can see, crypto investing with retirement funds can be done and there are significant tax advantages to doing so. Our company, [Maverick Retirement](https://www.maverick401k.com), currently offers self-directed Solo 401(k) plans and we have the easiest setup process in the industry. If you have self-employment income of any sort we highly recommend using a Solo 401(k) as it has the lowest costs and an easier setup. However, if you are not self-employed we recommend using a Checkbook IRA and we have a partner with whom we can put you in touch. Either way, in addition to the method you choose to unlock your funds you will also need to open what an exchange calls an institutional account. That process is different than signing up for an account via their website and typically occurs via a separate set of PDF forms. We have pre-filled versions of those forms and we are happy to help you with any exchanges which we do not already support. If you are interest in investing in cryptocurrencies with your retirement account please do not hesitate to reach out to us at <[email protected]> or visit us at [https://www.maverick401k.com](https://www.maverick401k.com).

      "title": "Crypto Investing with Retirement Funds: a How-To Guide for 2018",
      "body": "With the recent boom market in Bitcoin, ICOs, and other cryptocurrencies, many U.S. investors ask if it is possible to invest in cryptocurrencies with retirement. The good news is that yes, it is but that it is slightly more complicated due to the regulatory rules surrounding retirement accounts. \n\nIn this article, I will explain the various ways to “unlock” retirement funds so that you can invest them in Bitcoin and Ethereum as well as in ICOs and other alt-coins. \n\nMy background is that I’m the Founder and CEO of [Maverick Retirement](https://www.maverick401k.com), a company that specializes in helping people unlock retirement funds for investing in alternative assets. We spent a good part of 2017 helping clients get into the crypto-market so what follows comes from that experience and our general expertise in the rules of tax advantaged retirement accounts. \n\nBut first, why would you want to invest retirement funds in cryptos anyway?\n\n### Why People Use Retirement Funds for Crypto-Investing\n\n#### Gains can be Tax-Deferred\n\nWith a traditional retirement account no taxes are due on investment gains until you retire or otherwise withdraw the funds. So if you hold cryptocurrencies in a retirement account you do not have to pay annual taxes or any other taxes until retirement.\n\nFor example, if Bitcoin goes to the moon and you can decide to take profits, you can then invest 100% of those profits instead of the much smaller amount that would be left if you had to pay personal income taxes on those gains.\n\n#### ...or Gains Can Be Tax Free\n\nAlternately, if you use a Roth retirement account to invest in cryptocurrencies, you will never have to pay taxes on your crypto-gains at all. \n\nThe reason is that with a Roth account you pay income taxes on your capital prior to make investments - i.e. Today - but then you do not pay income taxes on those funds when you withdraw them at retirement.\n\nFun fact: famous venture capitalist Peter Thiel invested in Facebook using Roth funds. So not only did he make billions of dollars on Facebook but the only taxes he will ever pay are the taxes he paid on the initial investment. \n\n#### Retirement Investing is the Ultimate HODL\n\nFinally, if you are truly long a cryptocurrency, then having some of your holdings in a retirement account is ultimate HODL since you cannot withdraw retirement funds until retirement. Many investors find this focuses them on the long-term and makes HODLI’ing easier. \n\nSo how do you unlock retirement funds for crypto investing?\n\n### How You Unlock Depends on How You’re Employed\n\nDue to how the U.S. tax code is written, the method you use to unlock your retirement funds will depend on whether you have self-employment income or whether all of your income is from an employer.\n\n#### If You’re Self-Employed\n\nIf you’re self-employed - even part-time - then you are most likely eligible for a self-directed Solo 401(k). This is the best option because it has the lowest costs and it gives you the greatest control over your retirement funds.\n\nWhile most retirement accounts have limited investment options, a self-directed Solo 401(k) is more like a bank account in that it holds your funds but it does not limit where you can invest them. \n\nThe investment process into cryptos looks like this with a self-directed Solo 401(k):\n\n- Setup a self-directed Solo 401(k) plan\n- Rollover existing funds to the self-directed Solo 401(k) or make contributions\n- Open an account with an exchange in the name of Solo 401(k)\n- Transfer funds from the Solo 401(k) to the exchange\n- Trade\n\nOverall, I highly recommend this path if you qualify. In addition to the lower costs and easier setup, a self-directed Solo 401(k) also allows enables to you to invest in other alternative assets such as real estate and private companies. It also offers the ability to take loans if ever needed. \n\n#### If You’re Not Self-Employed\n\nIf you are not self-employed, you can still use retirement funds for crypto investing via an IRA. However, this path has numerous disadvantages because it requires an IRA custodian.\n\nIn simplest terms, an IRA custodian is a company that sits between your retirement funds and wherever you decide to invest them with.

A checkbook IRA is similar to a self-directed Solo 401(k) in that you as the investor have full control over your funds so you can issue payments for investments without requiring a middleman or per transaction fees.\n\nA Checkbook IRA is setup like so:\n\n- One sets up an a self-directed IRA with an IRA custodian and funds it\n- One hires a third party to create an LLC and open a bank account for it\n- One instructs the self-directed IRA company to buy the LLC and name you as the manager of the LLC\n- One opens an exchange account in the name of the LLC and funds it from the LLC bank account\n\nFrankly, I did my best to shorten this process for the sake of readability.
