Our Product Lines


DeFi

DeFi, short for decentralized finance, is a new approach to financial services that leverages blockchain technology to create a peer-to-peer financial system without traditional intermediaries like banks. It offers various financial services, including lending, borrowing, trading, and payments, all through decentralized applications (dApps) running on a blockchain. 

  • Lending and Borrowing: Users can lend cryptocurrencies and earn interest, or borrow by providing collateral. 
     
  • Yield Farming: Users can earn rewards by providing liquidity to DeFi pools,  essentially investment pools. 
     
  • Derivatives: Users can trade decentralized futures, options, and perpetual swaps on wrapped Bitcoin.
     
  • Trading: Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) allow users to trade cryptocurrencies P2P.


ETFs/ETNs

Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs) are financial products that allow investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin’s price movements without directly owning or managing the cryptocurrency. They bridge the gap between traditional financial markets and the crypto world, offering a more accessible and regulated way to invest in Bitcoin.

  • Bitcoin ETFs: An investment fund that tracks the price of Bitcoin and trades on traditional stock exchanges, similar to how shares of a company are traded. When you invest in a Bitcoin ETF, you are buying shares in a fund that holds Bitcoin or Bitcoin-related financial instruments.
     
  • Bitcoin ETNs: A type of Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that is essentially an unsecured debt security issued by financial institutions. Unlike ETFs, ETNs do not physically hold the underlying asset (Bitcoin). Instead, their value is tied to the performance of Bitcoin.

BTC Pension Funds

A “Bitcoin-backed pension fund” refers to a retirement savings vehicle that includes an allocation to Bitcoin (BTC) within its investment portfolio. This is a relatively new and evolving concept, distinct from traditional pension funds that primarily invest in stocks, bonds, and real estate.Here’s a breakdown of how they typically work and their key characteristics:

How They Work (Conceptual Framework):Rather than holding traditional assets, a BTC-backed pension fund (or a pension fund with BTC exposure) would:
  • Allocate a portion of its assets to Bitcoin: This could be a small percentage (e.g., 1-5%) to mitigate risk, or in some specialized cases, a larger allocation.

  • Utilize a Custodian: Since direct holding of Bitcoin by a traditional pension fund is complex and risky (requiring secure private key management), they typically use specialized digital asset custodians. These are regulated entities that securely store the Bitcoin on behalf of the fund, often using “cold storage” (offline) solutions to protect against cyber threats.

  • Gain Exposure via Indirect Methods:

    • Spot Bitcoin ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds): This is increasingly the most common and regulated way for institutional investors and pension funds to gain exposure to Bitcoin. A spot Bitcoin ETF directly holds actual Bitcoin and its shares trade on traditional stock exchanges. This allows pension funds to invest in Bitcoin without directly buying or holding the cryptocurrency themselves, simplifying compliance and security.
    • Bitcoin Futures ETFs: These ETFs invest in Bitcoin futures contracts, which are agreements to buy or sell Bitcoin at a predetermined price on a future date. While they offer exposure to Bitcoin’s price movements, they don’t directly hold Bitcoin and can have different risk profiles.
    • Companies with significant Bitcoin holdings: Some pension funds might invest in the stock of companies that themselves hold substantial amounts of Bitcoin on their balance sheets (e.g., MicroStrategy).
    • Direct Custodial Solutions (for larger, more specialized funds): In some cases, a large, sophisticated pension fund might engage directly with a qualified digital asset custodian to hold Bitcoin, bypassing an ETF wrapper.
    • Integration with Existing Pension Structures: The Bitcoin allocation would be part of an overall diversified portfolio, managed by the pension fund’s trustees or investment managers, adhering to their fiduciary duties and investment policies.

  • Key Features and Considerations:

    • Diversification: Proponents argue that Bitcoin’s historically low correlation with traditional assets like stocks and bonds can offer diversification benefits to a pension portfolio, potentially enhancing returns and reducing overall risk (when held as a small allocation).

    • Inflation Hedge: Given Bitcoin’s fixed supply (21 million coins), some view it as a potential hedge against inflation and currency debasement, which could be attractive for long-term retirement savings.

    • Long-Term Growth Potential: Advocates believe Bitcoin has significant long-term growth potential due to its increasing adoption, network effects, and status as a decentralized digital asset.

    • Fiduciary Duty: Pension fund trustees have a legal and ethical duty to act in the best financial interests of their beneficiaries. Investing in a volatile and relatively new asset class like Bitcoin requires careful consideration of this duty, often necessitating extensive due diligence and a conservative allocation.

All investments involve the risk of loss and the past performance of a security or a financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. You should consult your legal, tax, or financial advisors before making any financial decisions. This material is not intended as a recommendation, offer, or solicitation to purchase or sell securities, open a brokerage account, or engage in any investment strategy.


Stocks and ETFs.
Self-directed brokerage accounts and brokerage services for registered securities, options, and Bonds, are offered to self-directed customers by Bitcoin Investment Group. (“BIG”). This is not an offer, solicitation of an offer, or advice to buy or sell securities or open a brokerage account in any jurisdiction where Bitcoin Investment Group is not registered. Securities products offered by Bitcoin Investment Group are not FDIC insured. 


Options.
Certain requirements must be met in order to trade options. Options can be risky and are not suitable for all investors. Options transactions are often complex, and investors can rapidly lose the entire amount of their investment or more in a short period of time. Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing in options. Refer to the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before considering any options transaction. Supporting documentation for any claims, if applicable, will be furnished upon request. Tax considerations with options transactions are unique and investors considering options should consult their tax advisor as to how taxes affect the outcome of each options strategy.


Bonds.
“Bonds” shall refer to corporate debt securities offered on the Bitcoin Investment Group platform through a self-directed brokerage account held with Bitcoin Investment Group.

Investments in Bonds are subject to various risks including risks related to interest rates, credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, corporate events, tax ramifications and other factors. The value of Bonds fluctuate and any investments sold prior to maturity may result in gain or loss of principal. In general, when interest rates go up, Bond prices typically drop, and vice versa. Bonds with higher yields or offered by issuers with lower credit ratings generally carry a higher degree of risk. All fixed income securities are subject to price change and availability, and yield is subject to change. Bond ratings, if provided, are third party opinions on the overall bond's credit worthiness at the time the rating is assigned. Ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell securities, and they do not address the market value of securities or their suitability for investment purposes.

A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Bitcoin Investment Group. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The Bond Account’s yield is the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore a bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Bitcoin Investment Group charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule.

Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. You should evaluate each bond before investing in a Bond Account. The bonds in your Bond Account will not be rebalanced and allocations will not be updated, except for Corporate Actions.

Fractional Bonds also carry additional risks including that they are only available on BIG and cannot be transferred to other brokerages. Read more about the risks associated with fixed income and fractional bonds. See Bond Account Disclosures to learn more.

High-Yield Cash Account.
A High-Yield Cash Account is a secondary brokerage account with Bitcoin Investment Group. Funds in your High-Yield Cash Account are automatically deposited into partner banks (“Partner Banks”), where that cash earns interest and is eligible for insurance. See here for a list of current Partner Banks. Your Annual Percentage Yield is variable and may change at the discretion of the Partner Banks or Bitcoin Investment Group. Bitcoin Investment Group receive administrative fees for operating this program, which reduce the amount of interest paid on swept cash. Neither Bitcoin Investment Group nor any of its affiliates is a bank. 


Cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency trading, execution, and custody services are provided by Bitcoin Investment Group. Cryptocurrency is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and has the potential for loss of the entire amount of an investment. Cryptocurrencies offered by Bakkt are not securities and are not insured or protected. Your cryptocurrency assets are held in your Bitcoin Investment Group account. Please review the Risk Disclosures before trading.


Investment Plans. 

Investment Plans (“Plans”) shown in our marketplace are for informational purposes only and are meant as helpful starting points as you discover, research and create a Plan that meets your specific investing needs. Plans are self-directed purchases of individually-selected assets, which may include stocks, ETFs and cryptocurrency. Plans are not recommendations of a Plan overall or its individual holdings or default allocations. Plans are created using defined, objective criteria based on generally accepted investment theory; they are not based on your needs or risk profile. You are responsible for establishing and maintaining allocations among assets within your Plan. Plans involve continuous investments, regardless of market conditions. Diversification does not eliminate risk. See our Investment Plans Terms and Conditions and Sponsored Content and Conflicts of Interest Disclosure.
