As per a report from the New York Times, Fidelity Investments, an American multinational financial services corporation that is also the largest provider of 401(k)s in the U.S., will allow customers to put their retirement funds into Bitcoin, the world's biggest cryptocurrency. However, their employers must agree to the same as well.

Fidelity plans to expose millions of customers to Bitcoin

Fidelity plans to allow millions of customers to invest directly in Bitcoin without having to go through the trouble of opening an account in a cryptocurrency exchange. The feature will be implemented through its new digital assets account. The fee for the account owners will be between 0.75 percent and 0.90 percent of the assets, which will also depend on a variety of other factors like the employer and the amount invested. Moreover, an additional trading fee will also be applicable for digital assets account openers which remain undisclosed for now but will be "competitively priced."
We started to hear a growing interest from plan sponsors, organically, as to how could Bitcoin or how could digital assets be offered in a retirement plan," Dave Gray, head of the workplace retirement offerings and platforms at Fidelity Investments, said in an interview.

MicroStrategy has already signed up

Interestingly, one of the first firms to actually sign up includes MicroStrategy, the firm backed by Bitcoin-supporter Micheal Saylor, as per Mr. Gray. Furthermore, Fidelity is already in discussion with other employers. Just like the traditional mutual funds, the digital assets account will also be integrated into the 401(k) investment menu by the middle of the year. 

Fidelity, which recently launched crypto and metaverse-based ETFs, also added that users could fix a percentage of their funds to be allocated to Bitcoin, but the ceiling will be decided by the employer. For now, the investment firm will not allow more than 20% of the total funds, but this might change in the near future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
