LOS ANGELES,

Feb. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BitcoinIRA.com, the world's first and largest digital asset IRA company that allows customers to purchase cryptocurrencies and other digital assets for their retirement accounts, has announced it is adding Digital Gold (DG) to its platform. Digital Gold is the first-of-its-kind to be offered in a retirement setting and it is eligible for purchase today on its proprietary self-trading IRA platform.

Digital Gold is an innovative, proprietary solution that allows customers to instantly buy and sell investment-grade, pure physical gold 24/7. Digital Gold combines the stability of gold with the speed of ETFs, and customers have 100 percent direct ownership of their physical gold. The product is the most cost-effective physical gold IRA asset now available on the market because it removes the large markups and transaction costs found with traditional gold sellers.

Customers always maintain the title to their real gold through a cryptographically-secure blockchain database that investors can utilize to verify ownership. Their physical gold is securely stored in the vaults of the Royal Canadian Mint and is fully deliverable upon request at any time. The product is insured, cost-effective and has a fully transparent, 24/7 settlement process.

BitcoinIRA.com's Digital Gold is developed in a strategic alliance with Dillon Gage Metals, one of the world's largest precious metals wholesale firms and leading technology innovator in the industry.

Mark Furmanek

, chief operating officer at Dillon Gage Metals said, "I am excited to provide strategic support to BitcoinIRA.com's newest product, our 40 years of experience in physical precious metals and our investment into technology has the making of a strong alliance." BitcoinIRA.com's COO and co-founder

Chris Kline

added, "We are proud to expand our product offering with the launch of Digital Gold and to have Dillon Gage Metals as our strategic provider. Before this innovation gold buyers had to choose between dollar-derived proxy ETF certificates or slow, expensive physical gold. We are disrupting the industry by offering the best of both products and making them tradeable 24/7 on our propriety IRA platform."

Digital Gold joins 8 other digital assets available on BitcoinIRA.com's platform including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Stellar Lumens (XLM) and Zcash (ZEC).
