Title: Bitcoin to fund 529 College Savings Plan Post by: bloc8888 on December 05, 2017, 05:55:48 PM Is anyone out there aware of any financial services organizations that will accept BTC to fund a 529 college savings plan? I know Fidelity Charitable will accept BTC to fund a donor advised fund, but doesn't look like the main branch will yet accept BTC otherwise.
I'd be surprised if there isn't at least one enterprising 529 plan out there, but can't seem to find one.

With a self-directed IRA you can deposit cryptocurrency, but you take a penalty if you withdraw before 59 1/2 years you take a penalty. thus, it could work for your purposes depending on when you need to pay for college. Setting up a self directed ira is easy, but typically cannot be done directly through the ira sponsor. i hope this helps. AT

Hoping I'm wrong here -- please let me know if I am.
