Who is eligible to open an Alto CryptoIRA?

Currently, any United States resident (with the exception of Hawaii residents) 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.

What are the fees for the Alto CryptoIRA?

We don’t believe in hidden charges, exorbitant fees, or steep investment minimums. What you see is what you get. The table below describes our fee structure. See legal terms and pricing. Pricing and terms subject to change.

How does Alto CryptoIRA differ from other IRAs?

The Alto CryptoIRA can only hold cash and investments in cryptocurrencies bought and sold through the Coinbase exchange. Out of an abundance of tax caution, we do not allow you to invest in non-crypto related assets from your Alto CryptoIRA. You may, however, open additional Alto accounts to make non-crypto related investments.

2) Tax-free treatment subject to Roth IRA holding period and other restrictions. Tax treatment of contributions and distributions subject to applicable regulations. Consult your tax advisor before investing.

3) Quantity and selection of tokens/coins available from CryptoIRA exchange partners may vary from state to state.
