Equity Trust Company, a leading provider of alternative asset custodial services, and Swan Bitcoin, a leading Bitcoin financial services company, today announced an exciting new integration to offer clients seamless access to Bitcoin IRAs via the Swan platform.
CALABASAS, Calif., Aug. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — This collaboration brings together Equity Trust’s 50 years of financial services experience with Swan’s expertise in Bitcoin, providing a powerful platform for clients to invest in Bitcoin within their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), the best-performing asset of the past decade.
“This integration marks a significant step forward in our mission to make Bitcoin accessible to everyone. By offering new Swan IRAs in collaboration with Equity Trust, we provide a safe and reliable way for our clients to include Bitcoin in their retirement planning.”
The arrangement will also enable new services and account types for Swan’s clients, including Solo 401(k)s, Roth Solo 401(k)s, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, and Health Savings Accounts, dramatically expanding Bitcoin savings to more tax-advantaged accounts.
Swan Bitcoin is also building a premium IRA feature that provides clients with a specific watch address to see IRA transactions and balances on-chain. This is an industry-first IRA structure that combines direct on-chain visibility and verification while also following the principles and precedence of IRA custodians and unfettered command.
As part of the integration, Swan Bitcoin and Equity Trust are committed to providing the highest levels of client service and security. Equity Trust, known for its robust custodial services, ensures that all transactions are securely submitted.
