Miami, Florida (Hexa PR Wire–February 23, 2026)–Chris Kline joins The Michael Peres Podcast to discuss crypto retirement investing, how tax-advantaged accounts intersect with digital assets, and why long-term thinking matters in volatile markets. Kline, co-founder and COO of Bitcoin IRA, describes building a crypto IRA platform after starting in precious metals and alternative asset retirement accounts, and how that background informed a focus on custody, compliance, and access for everyday investors.
In the episode, Kline explains how different IRA structures, including Traditional, Roth, and SEP, can be used for digital assets and why taxes can materially change outcomes when gains are realized in taxable accounts. He discusses the psychology of Bitcoin adoption and volatility, including how conviction and time horizon shape decision-making, and what macro conditions and institutional participation may mean for future market structure. The conversation also touches on custody and security considerations, quantum-computing risk as a forward-looking topic, and how blockchain, AI, and digital payments could influence finance over the next decade.
