How much Bitcoin should I hold in my TFSA?

Your TFSA should always hold your highest-conviction Bitcoin. Once you have TFSA contribution room, fill it before using taxable accounts. Any growth inside a TFSA is permanently tax-free — no capital gains reporting, no inclusion rate. For a balanced investor targeting 5–15% BTC allocation, start with your TFSA and add RRSP/FHSA room as it fills.

What is the safest Bitcoin allocation for Canadians?

A conservative Bitcoin allocation is 2–5% of total net worth. This provides meaningful exposure to BTC's long-term upside while limiting volatility impact on your overall portfolio. For most Canadians, a 5-year+ time horizon and BTC held via ETF inside a TFSA or RRSP is the lowest-risk approach.

Should I use a Bitcoin ETF or buy Bitcoin directly?

For most Canadians, a Bitcoin ETF (FBTC, BTCX.B) inside a registered account (TFSA, RRSP, FHSA) is the optimal approach: tax-free compounding, no self-custody risk, and easy to buy through your existing brokerage or WealthSimple. Direct custody (via Bitbuy or Bull Bitcoin) makes sense only if you want to hold your own keys or access DeFi protocols.
