How much does it cost?
Account fee
An Alto CryptoIRA has no upfront fee to open an account. There is a $50 account closing fee.
Transaction fee
CoinBase charges a fee of 1.5% per transaction for purchase in an Alto CryptoIRA.
If we purchase $100 in ETH or BTC, we can expect to pay $1.50 in transaction fees.
Minimum account value
Alto CryptoIRA requires a $10 minimum to fund and open the account.
- There aren't many options to invest in crypto through tax-deferred ways. Recently, the price of BTC is over $61k and if we had invested early, we would be looking at a huge tax bill if we tried to sell.
- Crypto is an emerging asset class with a lot of regulatory and technical risks. If these risks can be overcome, crypto can be an asset that accumulates long-term value.
- Currently, there is no account fee besides the transaction fee charged by Coinbase.
- AltoIRA is funded and backed by well-known venture capitalists and companies.

“@alto_ira Does it look like CryptoIRA could be affected by the "Build Back Better Act" proposal to limit IRAs to investing in "registered securities"? Certainly hoping that particular proposal doesn't become law, and we've contacted our reps!”
