The creation of an account with a qualified IRA Custodian typically takes around two weeks if you’re motivated to go through the onboarding as quickly as possible.

While that timeline is contingent on prompt responses from yourself, it primarily rests upon your current custodian efficiently processing your transfer request.

If you're setting up a new account, Unchained provides for standard IRA accounts (supporting Traditional, Roth, SEP, and Inherited IRAs), that are set up through Fortis Bank, their IRA financial services partner.

If you're already set up with an IRA Custodian that supports self-custody and are looking to secure those funds with collaborative custody, or if you have other prevailing circumstances, you are welcome to get in contact with us to discuss further.

The most common way to fund an your Bitcoin IRA is by transferring tax-advantaged funds from an existing traditional retirement account, such as another IRA or a 401k from a former employer.

You can also fund your IRA through an annual contribution in USD.
