Has the IRS approved Bitcoin for IRAs?

The IRS does not approve Bitcoin investments. I cite as authority for this claim a recently published notice from the IRS with an impressively unambiguous title: “The IRS Does Not Approve IRA Investments.”

In that notice, our friends at the IRS even go on to describe as fraudulent any sales pitch that makes this claim.

It’s a big deal when the IRS uses the word “fraudulent." It seems to me that Uncle Sam may be losing patience with investment providers who falsely use the IRS as a source of credibility for their Bitcoin or other investments.

Nevertheless, it’s important to understand the distinction between approved and not prohibited. As you learned a moment ago, since Bitcoin belongs to neither of the two types of statutorily prohibited asset classes (life insurance and collectibles), it’s therefore legally compatible with IRAs.

But the lack of a prohibition is not the same thing as approval. While the IRS sometimes provides clarity on assets that they prohibit, they never have -- and likely never will -- offer explicit approval of any asset class or of any specific investment for your IRA.
