The funds will be used to enlarge the company’s current services and products, as well as to look into strategic partnerships, according to the company.

Left Lane Capital board member Matthew Miller said, “We are similarly excited to partner with iTrustCapital to help support their aim of providing access to cryptocurrency as well as other alternative investment products via self-directed IRAs.” “iTrustCapital provides a longer, tax-advantaged access to cryptocurrency as just an asset class to its customers.”
iTrustCapital enables US-based customers to include crypto assets into their retirement portfolios by giving access to 25 cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), as well as Cardano (ADA), as well as real gold and silver.

Many U.S.-based investment platforms had attempted to entice investors by offering tax-free options for holding and mining cryptocurrency. Under current U.S. tax law, earnings are frequently the only taxable source of income for many people who file returns, with so many managing to avoid paying the government by employing dubious but legal tactics.
PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel utilised a Roth IRA – a tax-free account — to invest $2,000 and over 20 years ago as well as turned it into a $5 billion fund, according to ProPublica in June 2021. iTrustCapital appears to be seeking for a similar strategy to lower prospective tax payments utilising crypto investments by offering “tax-advantaged” accessibility to cryptocurrency via IRAs.
