SIPP for investment in international stocks and ETFs?

Hi there.

I have a SIPP with Fidelity in the UK. To my disappointment I have found that I am only able to invest in UK stocks and ETFs from this product. Does anyone know of a provider that offers a SIPP that allows me to invest in US stocks and ETFs (especially one that would also allow me to allocate 1-3% of my portfolio to the IBIT spot Bitcoin ETF, for example)?

Thanks so much in advance!

    Most ETFs are domiciled in Ireland or Luxemburg. Very few are in the UK.  Fidelity allows those.

    No.  Most US ETFs do not comply with MIFIDII and are not offered to retail investors.      They either need a KIID or be UCITS
