Wyoming charges no state tax on a $10,000 crypto gain. Wyoming 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 Wyoming rules and 2026 federal rules, single filer. Holding period decides the federal rate.

Crypto capital-gains tax in Wyoming

Wyoming's budget is dug out of the ground rather than withheld from paychecks. The total severance tax on crude oil, lease condensate, and natural gas is 6% under W.S. 39-14-204, while coal is split by extraction method — 6% for surface-mined coal and 3.75% for underground coal under W.S. 39-14-104. Part of that take is not the legislature's to spend: one and one-half percentage points of the rate is imposed directly by Article 15, Section 19 of the Wyoming constitution, and that portion is deposited into the permanent Wyoming mineral trust fund rather than the general severance tax distribution account. It is an unusual arrangement — a constitutionally mandated savings account fed by mineral extraction, standing in for the income tax the state has no need to levy.

Investment income and capital gains, crypto included, are also untaxed in Wyoming, which levies no individual income tax.

Common questions

Does Wyoming tax crypto gains?
No. Wyoming levies no individual income tax for 2026 and has no separate capital-gains tax, so selling crypto is a federal-only taxable event there. Wyoming funds itself through mineral severance, sales, and property taxes.
How much Wyoming tax would a $10,000 crypto gain cost?
Nothing at the state level. Stacked on Wyoming's $78,680 median household income (2024), a $10,000 gain adds $0 of Wyoming tax; the federal bill is the only one that changes.
What do I owe when I sell crypto in Wyoming?
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 $78,680 income would cost roughly $495 in state tax in the typical income-taxing state.
