A new location of crypto-friendly US states puts New Hampshire at the top despite its steep electricity prices and lack of bitcoin mining. The state scores high because of its zero-capital ward tax, lack of restrictive crypto regulation and a close network of crypto-accepting companies and ATMs.
The study conducted by Digital Mining Hardware Maker Asickey evaluated all 50 states using seven weighted factors: capital gains tax, regulatory environment, crypto -admission in business, job accessibility, ATM density, electricity costs and presence of mining. Tax policy and business use gained the most weight.
New Hampshire won the highest score – 71.22 out of 100 – with 4.4 crypt companies and 9.3 ATMs per year. 100,000 people. Wyoming came with a score of 61.89 thanks to the highest blockchain job concentration nationwide (118.4 per 100,000), low energy costs and minimal regulation.
Nevada, Texas and Alaska end the top five. Each state has its own forces-Nevada’s crypto-accepting business sector, Texas’ significant mining, and Alaska’s strong blockchain job market-mens they also benefit from 0% capital gains.
The study emphasizes how tax structure and state policy shape the crypto arbitration. States with favorable tax codes and clear legislative paths appear to attract more infrastructure and job creation, while high taxes or unclear rules may lower adoption.
