Fidelity First to Offer Bitcoin to 401K Investors
The biggest retirement financial firm, Fidelity, is going to be the first to offer 401k investors access to Bitcoin. Fidelity has over $11 Trillion in assets under management (AUM). Repeat: Fidelity has $11 TRILLION, not Billion, of assets under management.
This is big news, in my opinion, and further proof of coming mass adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.
This company is just the first of many potential companies to offer bitcoin to its 401k retirement investors and the floodgates could be starting to open here…
The following is from a CNBC news article at: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/26/fidelity-offers-401k-investors-access-to-bitcoin-a-retirement-plan-first.html
