Non-Custodial Bitcoin IRAs

0

Is there anyway to create an IRA with bitcoins that doesn't involve giving up my keys -- a non-custodial account?

I know, for example, that Bitcoin IRA will create a bitcoin-funded IRA, but I won't actually own the bitcoins since they will set up a custodial account. I suspect the answer is a flat "no" since the IRS requires IRAs to have administrators. But maybe administration != possessing the keys...

If you want the keys, why don't you simply hold bitcoin? What's the point of the IRA?Jestin 2017-05-25T15:31:38.923

IRAs are tax deferred accounts but require an administrator.Erik 2017-05-25T15:33:02.813
