Ways to Be an Accredited Investor in the US. Jake Claver, recorded February 2026.
What this recording covers
Jake Claver outlines the regulatory criteria established in the United States for an individual to qualify as an accredited investor. He explains that federal guidelines provide two primary qualification pathways based on verified income or total net worth. Under the income standard, an individual must demonstrate an annual income of a specific figure the recording names across the preceding two tax years if filing individually, or a higher designated threshold if filing jointly with a spouse. Alternatively, qualification under the net worth standard requires an investor to hold a specific figure the recording names in total net worth, excluding any equity held in their primary residence. Claver explains that digital asset holdings can be counted toward this aggregate net worth threshold once verified. Meeting these formal statutory benchmarks enables individuals to participate in private placements and engage specialized institutional wealth management services.
