Bitcoin in Missouri: the licensing picture

LegalMoney transmitter license, MTMA of 2024State guide reviewed 2026-08-23

Bitcoin is legal in Missouri. The Division of Finance licenses money transmitters, historically under the Sale of Checks Law and, since Senate Bill 1359 took effect on August 28, 2024, under the Money Transmission Modernization Act of 2024 (RSMo sections 361.900 to 361.1035), which repealed the old law. Federal FinCEN registration and IRS tax treatment apply as they do in every state.
