You can self custody BTC in an IRA, but there are a ton of hoops to jump through. Basically have to open a business and run the IRA through that business.
You can have BTC in an IRA through Swan or other services.
You could also just buy the bitcoin yourself, knowing you may be taxed on the gains if you ever sell (which, in my opinion, you should never need to sell)
Thank you for you quick feedback @hodlpleb !
I didn’t know owning was an option inside an IRA, that opens a few options for sure.
Of course you can buy btc yourself, but I was focusing on the portion of your portfolio that should be held in a retirement tax efficient plan.
So I guess now my question will be:
ETF / Mining stocks / BTC directly ( with swan maybe but need more information about would custodies the btc in these plans, hot or cold custody as well…)
Once again thank you…

what the other guy said isn’t true.
You can get an Unchained IRA which lets you control your keys and Unchained handles all the complexity: unchained.com/ira
