About Chris Kline

Chris Kline is the co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of BitcoinIRA, the first and largest digital asset retirement platform in the United States. Since co-launching the company in 2016, Chris has been a driving force behind bringing crypto into retirement investing, helping Americans diversify their savings with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets — all within the tax-advantaged structure of IRAs. He began his career in precious metals and alternative asset IRAs, backed by gold and silver. That early exposure to non-traditional wealth preservation shaped his vision for BitcoinIRA to create a secure, regulation-friendly path for everyday people to access crypto for the long haul. Under Chris’s leadership, BitcoinIRA has grown into a multi-billion-dollar platform trusted by clients in all 50 states. He’s widely seen as a thought leader in the fusion of blockchain and retirement strategy, with features in CNBC, Forbes, and Bloomberg. More than anything, Chris is on a mission to help people take back control of their financial future — not by betting on hype, but by building sustainable, forward-looking portfolios that can outlast inflation, political chaos, and systemic risk.
