Alaska charges no state tax on a $10,000 crypto gain. Alaska does not tax personal income, so crypto gains are not taxed at the state level. Federal capital-gains tax still applies.

Only federal capital-gains tax applies, so the rate turns entirely on how long you held: short-term gains are taxed as ordinary income, long-term at 0%, 15% or 20%. Figures use 2026 Alaska rules and 2026 federal rules, single filer. Holding period decides the federal rate.

Crypto capital-gains tax in Alaska

Alaska withholds nothing from wages at the state level, and it goes a step further by paying residents rather than billing them: the Permanent Fund Dividend sends an annual check to every eligible resident. The 2025 dividend was $1,000, well down from 2024's $1,702, which had included a separate Energy Relief Payment. That money is not tax-free, however — the Alaska Department of Revenue states that dividends for adults are taxable for federal income tax purposes, and the PFD Division issues a 1099-MISC, so the payment lands on your federal return as income even though Alaska itself taxes none of it. The state's own collections lean on industry instead: the mining license tax, for instance, runs on a graduated schedule topping out at 7% of net income above $100,000 under AS 43.65.010(c).

Investment income and capital gains — crypto included — are likewise untaxed in Alaska, because the state levies no individual income tax at all.

Common questions

Does Alaska tax crypto gains?
No. Alaska levies no individual income tax for 2026 and has no separate capital-gains tax, so selling crypto is a federal-only taxable event there. Alaska funds itself through oil and gas royalties and Permanent Fund earnings.
How much Alaska tax would a $10,000 crypto gain cost?
Nothing at the state level. Stacked on Alaska's $91,260 median household income (2024), a $10,000 gain adds $0 of Alaska tax; the federal bill is the only one that changes.
What do I owe when I sell crypto in Alaska?
Federal tax only: short-term gains at your ordinary federal rate, long-term gains at the federal 0%, 15% or 20% rates. The same $10,000 gain on top of a $91,260 income would cost roughly $495 in state tax in the typical income-taxing state.
