Bitcoin enters Delaware Life’s retirement annuity portfolio

The product gives retirement investors indirect Bitcoin exposure through a BlackRock index built on the company's spot Bitcoin ETF.

Delaware Life Insurance Company is adding limited Bitcoin-linked exposure to its retirement annuity portfolio through an index developed by BlackRock.
