Bitcoin in Oregon: the licensing picture

LegalMoney transmitter license (ORS 717)State guide reviewed 2026-08-23

Bitcoin is legal in Oregon. The Division of Financial Regulation, part of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, licenses money transmitters under ORS chapter 717, and the statute defines money to include value that substitutes for currency, the hook that brings crypto exchanges into the regime. The legislature has also drawn one narrow line: HB 2488, a 2019 law, says state government may not accept cryptocurrency payments without State Treasurer authorization and bars crypto campaign contributions. Federal rules, including FinCEN registration for exchanges, apply as they do in every state.
