Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Self-Directed Retirement Accounts

How long does it take to set up?

Setting up your Self-Directed IRA or Solo 401(k) is quick and simple. Most clients are fully set up within 3–5 business days after their welcome call, with rollovers completed in 2–8 weeks, depending on the speed of your current custodian. Once funded, your account is active and ready to invest.

What can I invest my retirement money into?

With a Unified Wealth Self-Directed account, you can invest in almost anything the IRS allows — giving you full control over your retirement.

This includes:

  • Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, altcoins, staking, liquidity pools, and more)
  • Real estate (single-family, multi-family, land, commercial)
  • Precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium
  • Startups, private equity, hedge funds, oil & gas, private lending, and more.

If the IRS allows it, your account can hold it — period.

How do I actually buy crypto in my account?

Your account uses a checkbook-controlled structure: an LLC owned by your IRA or Solo 401(k). You open a business account with an exchange like Coinbase or Kraken in the name of the LLC, fund it from the LLC's bank account, and invest directly. Your only ongoing requirement is reporting a valuation back to your custodian once a year.

Are there any restrictions on crypto investing?

You can buy and hold Bitcoin and altcoins, participate in staking, and provide liquidity to liquidity pools. Futures trading is not permitted inside these accounts.

Is the account interest-bearing?

Your SDIRA or Solo 401(k) itself does not earn interest like a bank savings account. Instead, you control how your money grows by choosing the investments that generate returns — whether that's rental income, interest from lending, appreciation in real estate, or profits from other alternative assets.

Can I borrow against my account?

With a Solo 401(k), yes — you can borrow up to 50% of your account balance (max $50,000) tax-free as a participant loan, and pay it back to yourself with interest.

However, IRA accounts cannot offer loans to yourself or "disqualified persons" — the IRS prohibits those transactions to protect the tax-advantaged status of your account.
