Key Highlights

• BlockTrust IRA offers managed crypto retirement accounts.
• The firm collaborates with Animus Technologies, which provides trading signals to hedge funds.
• While the service is available globally, American clients receive tax benefits.

As spot Bitcoin trading continues to expand, more individuals are gaining exposure to digital assets via their individual retirement accounts (IRAs). IRAs provide tax advantages and varied investment options like stocks, real estate, commodities, and increasingly, cryptocurrencies.

Traditionally, investment strategies in cryptocurrency have limited options—primarily buy and hold. However, BlockTrust IRA seeks to transform this norm by managing customers’ crypto portfolios to capitalize on market volatility and maximize returns.

“We are the only company that integrates an AI tool with traders, automatically moving clients into cash when necessary and waiting for optimal signals to reinvest,” remarks Jonathan Rose, CEO of BlockTrust. “Where others fear volatility, we embrace it as a means to generate profit for our clients.”

BlockTrust leverages Animus Technologies to deliver sophisticated trading mechanisms typically reserved for high net-worth individuals and trading funds, allowing retail investors to enjoy similar advantages. The platform covers a variety of cryptocurrencies and allows investment thresholds starting from $1,000.

Since its launch in February, BlockTrust IRA has rapidly accrued $10 million in assets, with projections to reach $100 million by the year’s end while remaining accessible to non-U.S. residents who pass the KYC checks.
