Coinbase Asset Management and iTrustCapital Join Forces to Launch First Bitcoin Yield IRA Strategy for Accredited Investors

Irvine, California – October 17, 2025 — In a landmark move bridging traditional retirement investing with the digital asset economy, iTrustCapital has announced a partnership with Coinbase Asset Management (CBAM) to launch the first-ever Bitcoin yield strategy for tax-advantaged IRAs, available exclusively to accredited investors.

As the largest U.S. provider of self-directed digital asset IRA accounts, iTrustCapital oversees more than $7 billion in crypto assets. This new collaboration integrates CBAM-managed investment strategies directly into iTrustCapital’s platform, allowing investors to gain exposure to institutional-grade Bitcoin yield products within their retirement portfolios.

Reinventing Crypto for Retirement

The initiative debuts with CBAM’s Bitcoin Yield Strategy, designed to outperform BTC’s price performance by delivering Bitcoin’s base return (beta) along with an additional yield component.

This follows the Trump Administration’s August 2025 Executive Order, which opened the door for actively managed crypto strategies to enter 401(k) plans and other retirement accounts — a move that redefined how digital assets fit within regulated investment frameworks.

By pairing iTrustCapital’s tax-efficient IRA infrastructure with Coinbase Asset Management’s institutional expertise, the partnership aims to set a new benchmark for compliant, yield-driven digital asset investments. Together, the two firms are targeting long-term savers seeking to diversify and compound their holdings in Bitcoin — all within the safety and structure of a U.S.-regulated retirement account.

A Turning Point for Bitcoin as a Retirement Asset

“Bitcoin has firmly established itself as digital gold and a store of value,” said Anthony Bassili, President of Coinbase Asset Management. “As a $2.3 trillion asset, its pristine collateral properties now allow us to generate income and compound returns for investors — and through iTrustCapital, we can do that tax-efficiently inside an IRA.”

The fund, expected to launch in late Q4 2025 or early Q1 2026, will initially allow eligible iTrustCapital clients to subscribe to Bitcoin yield opportunities managed by CBAM. Investors holding either BTC or USD within their IRAs can participate in the strategy, with their yield compounding tax-free over time.

A Step Toward Institutional-Grade Crypto IRAs

“This partnership marks a major step in the evolution of digital asset retirement investing,” said Kevin Maloney, CEO of iTrustCapital. “Working alongside Coinbase Asset Management allows us to deliver secure, high-yield Bitcoin products to our clients — reinforcing that crypto is no longer speculative, but a core component of modern retirement planning.”

The integration also signals the next phase of growth for iTrustCapital, which plans to expand beyond spot crypto assets to include diversified, yield-focused crypto strategies — all while maintaining the same five-star service and world-class security infrastructure that has attracted nearly 100,000 U.S. professionals to its platform.
