Bitcoin in Utah: the licensing picture

LegalBlockchain activity exempt from transmitter actState guide reviewed 2026-08-23

Bitcoin is legal in Utah, and the legislature keeps expanding its protections. The Blockchain Technology Act of 2019 exempts blockchain-related activity from the Money Transmitter Act that the Utah Department of Financial Institutions administers, and HB 230, the Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendments signed March 25, 2025, bars state and local governments from restricting self-hosted wallets, mining, node operation, and accepting digital assets as payment. Federal FinCEN registration still applies to every exchange.
