Can I Retire on Bitcoin?
Yes — in theory. But the real question is whether your Bitcoin strategy can support future spending without depending on unrealistic assumptions.
What retiring on Bitcoin actually means
It means building a plan for accumulation, withdrawals or borrowing, tax impact, inflation-adjusted spending, and bad-year survival.
The 5 questions that decide whether the plan works
- How much Bitcoin do you have now?
- How much do you need to spend each year?
- When do you want to retire?
- What assumptions are you making about Bitcoin growth?
- Will you sell Bitcoin or borrow against it?
