A new classification of the friendly American states in Crypto puts New Hampshire at the top despite its high prices of electricity and its lack of bitcoin extraction activity. The state obtains a high score due to its tax on zero capital gains, the lack of restrictive cryptography regulation and a dense network of activity and automatic distributors of crypto tickets.
The study, conducted by the manufacturer of quincaleries of digital mining Asickey, evaluated the 50 states using seven weighted factors: tax on capital gains, regulatory environment, adoption of cryptography in business, employment availability, automatic counters, electricity cost and mining presence. Tax policy and the use of businesses have had the most weight.
The New Hampshire obtained the highest scoring – 71.22 out of 100 – with 4.4 cryptographic companies and 9.3 automatic counters per 100,000 people. Wyoming followed with a score of 61.89, thanks to the highest blockchain employment concentration on a national scale (118.4 per 100,000), low energy costs and minimum regulations.
Nevada, Texas and Alaska complete the first five. Each state has its own forces – The Crypto -Accept Business Sector in Nevada, the significant mining imprint in Texas and the Alaska Blockchain Fortful Blockchain – while benefiting from 0% of capital gains taxes.
The study underlines how the tax structure and state policy shape the cryptographic landscape. States with favorable tax codes and clear regulatory paths seem to attract more infrastructure and job creation, while high taxes or unclear rules can slow down adoption.
