Bitcoin in New Hampshire: the licensing picture
Bitcoin is legal in New Hampshire, and the state took itself out of the crypto licensing business early: HB 436 amended RSA 399-G:3 to exempt persons conducting business in virtual currency from money transmitter registration, effective August 1, 2017. The New Hampshire Banking Department therefore does not license bitcoin exchanges, though the exemption keeps them subject to state consumer protection laws, and federal FinCEN registration applies regardless.
New Hampshire taxes no wage income, and its last income levy, the 3 percent tax on interest and dividends, was repealed effective January 1, 2025. That leaves no state income tax to touch your bitcoin gains, but federal capital gains tax still applies in full when you sell.
