LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitcoin IRA, the only company that enables people to invest in real bitcoins as part of their retirement portfolio, has announced that it has exceeded $500,000 in total investments since launching in June 2016. To mark this achievement, the company is offering investors a limited-time rebate of 1% in real silver for each new account they open.

The rebate applies to all accounts opened through the end of August 2016, and offers $150 in real silver in exchange for a $15,000 investment, $250 in real silver for a $25,000 bitcoin investment, and so on. As two of the top performing assets for 2016, precious metals and bitcoin are becoming popular choices for investors, who are increasingly rolling their 401(k) and IRA accounts into these alternative investments in an effort to safeguard their financial future.

Unlike other bitcoin-based retirement options, which only permit investments in bitcoin-based stocks and bonds, Bitcoin IRA offers IRS-approved retirement plans that allow individuals to invest in real bitcoins through self-directed IRAs. To ensure the highest level of privacy and security of user funds, Bitcoin IRA uses best-in-class cryptocurrency solutions from BitGo, the industry leader in blockchain security and multi-signature wallets.

"Bitcoin is one of the most important currency innovations in decades,"

Says Ed Moy, Chief Strategist for Bitcoin IRA and former U.S. Mint Director,

"It's a decentralized, global form of money, so its value isn't tied to the economy of any one specific country. That makes it an excellent way to diversify your investments. I'm proud to be part of Bitcoin IRA."
