The company, which is fully Internal Revenue Service (IRS) compliant, supervises the transfer of fiat retirements funds into cryptocurrency and provides "cold" offline storage for the investments.
In a statement, BitcoinIRA spoke positively about XRP, calling it "the best digital asset for payments" and stating that it is "one of the largest digital assets by market capitalization."
Chris Kline, COO of BitcoinIRA said that customer demand for the currency has been "immense."
