    Yes, you can use your IRA to invest in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. However, not all custodians allow this type of investment, so you'll need to find a custodian that specifically offers self-directed IRAs for cryptocurrency investments. Once you have a self-directed IRA set up, you can transfer funds from your traditional IRA or rollover funds from a 401(k) into your self-directed IRA. With the funds in your self-directed IRA, you can then invest in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Keep in mind that there may be certain restrictions and tax implications to consider, so it's always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or tax professional before making any investment decisions.
