Bitcoin is legal in Georgia. Oversight of exchanges runs through the Department of Banking and Finance under the Sale of Payment Instruments and Money Transmission Act, O.C.G.A. 7-1-680 and following. Amendments in 2016 added virtual currency to the statutory definitions, and the department requires a license before anyone engages in the transmission of virtual currency. Federal FinCEN registration and IRS rules apply on top, as they do in every state.
