Long term investment in bitcoin: DCA via Wealthsimple and store on cold wallet > any tax event in the process?

Hello all,

I am considering buying Bitcoin to store for the long run (with a decades horizon). I have a premium account on Wealthsimple, which brings the cryptocurrency purchasing fees down to 1%. My goal is to buy bitcoin on Wealthsimple (non registered account), to do a light DCA (a few hundreds/thousands at most every 3-6 months), to transfer to a cold wallet along the way... and to forget about it.

If I'm correct, there shouldn't be any tax event in this process since I would only be transferring. Therefore, the only taxable moment would be in XX years when/if I actually sell my bitcoins, and my T5 would not be impacted in any way by this operation until then.

Is that correct? Is there anything I'm not seeing? On a side note, does this plan seem optimal/good enough to you or is there a better way to proceed for a Canadian resident?

Thanks and have a good day!


Thinking of moving to BTC and ETH ETFs

Since I don’t want to handle all the hassle of having to setup a crypto wallet and maintaining keys I was thinking about selling all my current crypto and instead move everything into BTC/ETH etfs and most likely I will be buying IBIT.

I still have a question, I am investing through IBKR what would happen in case either IBKR, BlackRock or BlackRock’s custodian (which is Coinbase) fail (I know the event of a failure of BlackRock and IBKR are minimal and would be catastrophic for the world)?

Are my crypto assets all safe when investing via ETFs? For what I know when investing in ETFs incase either BlackRock or IBKR go bust it’s not really a problem because the shares of the ETF as well the underlying shares are in my name and therefore even if they go bust I will get my shares back.

Side question: is there a valid ETH etf?

Is Bitcoin Gradually Becoming a Stable Reserve Asset?

If we follow the growth numbers from previous halving events, Bitcoin's price surge seems to be diminishing after each halving. Does this mean Bitcoin is on the verge of becoming a reserve asset with reduced price volatility ahead?
