However, TD Ameritrade offers an alternative for those interested in Bitcoin. Investors can buy and sell Bitcoin futures contracts through the platform. This allows them to speculate on the future price of Bitcoin without actually owning the cryptocurrency.

In addition to futures contracts, investors can also buy and sell stocks related to Bitcoin. These stocks may be companies that are involved in the Bitcoin industry, such as mining or wallet services.

It's important to note that owning futures contracts or Bitcoin stocks is not the same as owning Bitcoin itself. Futures contracts represent a commitment to buy or sell Bitcoin at a future date and at a specific price. Bitcoin stocks, on the other hand, represent ownership in a company that is related to the Bitcoin industry.

TD Ameritrade does not support the direct purchase and trading of Bitcoin. This means investors cannot buy or sell Bitcoin directly through TD Ameritrade's platform.

For those looking to buy and own Bitcoin directly, there are other platforms and exchanges available. One such exchange is BTCC, which is a top cryptocurrency exchange that offers a range of services.
