Bitcoin in Montana: the licensing picture
Bitcoin is legal in Montana, which stands alone among the fifty states in having no money transmitter licensing statute at all. The Montana Division of Banking and Financial Institutions licenses banks and lenders but has no transmitter regime to stretch over crypto, so exchanges serve residents without any state-level license. Exchanges still register federally with FinCEN as money services businesses.
