Louisiana
Bitcoin States
Louisiana enacted Bitcoin mining protection legislation in 2022, establishing the right to mine Bitcoin at home and prohibiting local governments from restricting residential Bitcoin mining. The state has been consistently pro-Bitcoin, with additional bills introduced to explore Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Louisiana's energy infrastructure, particularly natural gas resources, has attracted Bitcoin mining operations.
