Bitcoin in Maryland: the licensing picture

LegalMoney transmitter license, crypto in scope since 2021State guide reviewed 2026-08-23

Bitcoin is legal in Maryland. The Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation, within the Maryland Department of Labor, administers the Maryland Money Transmission Act, and bills passed in 2020 and 2021 (SB 754 and SB 219) brought virtual currency within its licensing scope. The state also finalized dedicated virtual currency kiosk rules in COMAR 09.03.16. Federal law, FinCEN registration and IRS tax treatment, applies as it does in every state; the state layer is the transmitter license.
