Frequently asked questions
Is Swan IRA safe?+

Swan IRA uses a custodial ira model and scores 69/100 in our independent review, including 72/100 on custody security. One institution can move funds, which is a single point of failure. Safety depends on your priorities; see the full score breakdown above.

Is my bitcoin insured at Swan IRA?+

Swan IRA's custody insurance is not publicly disclosed in a form we can verify. Where it exists, custody insurance covers specific named events up to shared limits and does not cover price loss. Confirm coverage in writing before relying on it.

What happens to my bitcoin if Swan IRA fails?+

Because Swan IRA holds custody through a single institution, recovery in a failure would run through that institution's bankruptcy or resolution process and depends on whether assets were segregated and properly titled. This is the concentration risk of single-custodian models.

Does Swan IRA support inheritance?+

Swan IRA does not advertise a dedicated inheritance or beneficiary feature in the data we track. Confirm current options with the provider, since custody inheritance handling changes.
