Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible to open an Alto CryptoIRA?

Currently, any United States resident (with the exception of anyone located in Hawaii) who is 18 years or older can open an Alto CryptoIRA.

Why buy and sell crypto in an IRA?

No matter how much your investment grows, you’ll never pay taxes on gains in a crypto IRA. You may even be able to avoid taxes altogether. Upon eligibility to take distributions:

  • Traditional and SEP IRA distributions are subject to income taxes only.
  • Roth crypto IRA qualified distributions are completely tax-free.

Additionally, unlike when you trade crypto outside a tax-advantaged account, doing so within an IRA allows you to avoid the often-tedious process of reporting trades on your taxes each year.

How much money do I need to invest using the Alto CryptoIRA?

With Alto CryptoIRA, you can invest with as little as $10.

How does Alto CryptoIRA differ from other IRAs?

The Alto CryptoIRA can only hold cash and provides access to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies through the Coinbase exchange. Any other assets (including crypto funds) may be purchased with an Alto IRA. You may open additional Alto accounts to make non-crypto related investments here.
