  Yes, it is possible to transfer your 401k from Empower to Fidelity using digital assets like Bitcoin. However, it's important to note that not all retirement account providers support cryptocurrency transfers. You will need to check with both Empower and Fidelity to see if they allow such transfers and what the process entails. Additionally, keep in mind that transferring retirement funds into cryptocurrencies can be risky due to the volatility of the market. It's advisable to consult with a financial advisor before making any decisions.
