    The minimum margin requirement for trading Bitcoin on IBKR is 50% of the current market value of the Bitcoin position. This means that you need to have at least half of the value of your Bitcoin position in cash or other eligible collateral in your account to meet the margin requirement. It's important to note that margin requirements may vary and are subject to change based on market conditions and IBKR's risk management policies.
