Bitcoin in Alabama: the licensing picture

LegalMonetary Transmission Act license (ASC)State guide reviewed 2026-08-23

Bitcoin is legal in Alabama. The Alabama Securities Commission administers the Monetary Transmission Act, in force since August 2017, whose definitions are written broadly enough to cover virtual currency such as bitcoin, so custodial exchanges serving Alabamians hold a state monetary transmission license on top of federal FinCEN registration. Individual buyers and holders need no license of any kind.
