Board Unanimously Appoints Veteran Fintech Executive with Deep Expertise in Global Payments, Digital Assets, and Regulatory Compliance
ATLANTA, March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM) (“Bitcoin Depot” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM operator and fintech company, today announced that Scott Buchanan has decided to step down as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately, to pursue a new opportunity outside of the Company. The board of directors thank Scott for his many contributions and wish him well in his next chapter.
Effective immediately, Alex Holmes has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Holmes brings decades of executive leadership in global payments and fintech, most recently serving as Chairman and CEO of MoneyGram International, where he led the company’s transformation into a modern global fintech operating across more than 200 countries. The board is confident in his ability to lead Bitcoin Depot through its next phase of growth.
This transition comes as Bitcoin Depot continues to expand beyond its core BTM network into a broader suite of fintech and digital asset products, following recent strategic initiatives to diversify its platform and revenue streams.
Concurrently, Bitcoin Depot founder Brandon Mintz will transition from Executive Chair to a non-executive member of the board and is expected to serve as an advisor to the CEO. Mintz will work directly alongside Holmes, providing strategic continuity and institutional knowledge as the company executes its next phase. As the founder who built Bitcoin Depot into one of the largest Bitcoin ATM networks in the United States, Mintz remains a long-term shareholder.
Over a sixteen-year tenure at MoneyGram International, Holmes held executive roles as CFO and COO before serving as Chairman and CEO from 2016 to 2024, where he led the company’s transformation, earning a reputation for operational excellence, rigorous risk management, and global regulatory compliance expertise. Holmes most recently served as Executive Vice Chairman of United Texas Bank, a leader in correspondent banking and U.S. dollar clearing for crypto-focused institutions, where he also serves on the Board Risk Committee.
“During my time on Bitcoin Depot’s board of directors, I’ve developed a deep understanding and appreciation for our business, our customers, and our positioning in the market,” said Alex Holmes, Chairman and CEO of Bitcoin Depot. “As I step into the role, my priorities are operational stability, regulatory progress, and accelerating the Company’s evolution into a more diversified fintech platform. I look forward to working closely with the team and keeping stakeholders informed as we execute against these priorities.”
Bradley Strock, lead independent director of Bitcoin Depot, commented: “Alex has been a trusted voice on our board. We are excited to have someone of his caliber and experience step in to lead the company at this important juncture. His experience navigating complex, highly regulated global businesses, combined with his firsthand track record integrating blockchain technology into mainstream financial services and his deep public market experience, makes him the right person to lead Bitcoin Depot as it scales beyond its BTM foundation into a broader, more diversified fintech platform.”
Mintz commented: “Bitcoin Depot is my life’s work, and I remain deeply invested in its success as a shareholder, a director, and as an advisor to Alex and the leadership team. I have full confidence in this transition and in the path ahead for this company and the people who have built it.”

The consolidation wave sweeping through the business development company space claimed another milestone last week. Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: HRZN) and Monroe Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: MRCC) announced that shareholders of both companies voted at special meetings held March 13 to approve the proposed merger — with HRZN shareholders voting more than 83% in favor and MRCC shareholders casting over 88% of votes in support.
The deal structure is straightforward but deliberate. Prior to the merger’s effectiveness, Monroe Capital Income Plus Corporation will purchase substantially all of MRCC’s assets at fair value for cash. Following the close of that asset sale, MRCC will merge into HRZN, with Horizon remaining the surviving publicly traded entity on Nasdaq under the ticker “HRZN,” continuing under the management of Horizon Technology Finance Management LLC and backed by Monroe Capital’s approximately $24 billion in assets under management.
The transaction was structured with shareholder economics front and center. MRCC shareholders are set to receive a pre-merger closing distribution totaling approximately $15.9 million, or $0.75 per share. Horizon also has $27.6 million in undistributed taxable earnings earmarked to supplement monthly distributions for two quarters post-merger, and the management firm agreed to waive up to $4 million in fees over the first four full fiscal quarters following the close. Closing is expected within 30 days, subject to customary conditions.
The strategic rationale centers on scale and positioning within venture lending. The overwhelming shareholder support underscores confidence that the deal will unlock value at Monroe, strengthen Horizon’s competitive footing in the innovation economy, and accelerate the platform’s next phase of growth. For context, HRZN currently carries a market capitalization of approximately $196 million — firmly in small cap territory — making this a meaningful consolidation play rather than a megadeal footnote.
The path to closing was not without friction. Horizon worked to resolve three shareholder lawsuits seeking to block the transaction — two complaints filed in New York County Supreme Court in February and a third filed in Delaware in January. The resolution of those cases cleared the way for the shareholder votes that ultimately delivered the lopsided approval margins seen last week.
The BDC sector has been steadily consolidating as managers seek the scale necessary to compete for institutional capital, lower operating cost ratios and support more robust dividend coverage. Horizon’s venture lending focus — providing secured loans to VC-backed companies in technology, life sciences, healthcare information services and sustainability — gives the combined platform a differentiated niche at a time when private credit is expanding rapidly into spaces that traditional banks have largely exited.
With shareholder approval now secured on both sides and closing expected before mid-April, the combined HRZN platform will emerge as a larger, better-capitalized lender to the innovation economy — exactly the kind of strategic BDC consolidation that income-focused small cap investors should be watching closely.
2025 Revenue up 7% Year-Over-Year to $614.9 Million
2025 Net Income of $5.1 Million vs. $7.8 Million in 2024
2025 Gross Profit up 30% Year-Over-Year to $105.6 Million
2025 Adjusted EBITDA up 42% Year-Over-Year to $56.4 Million
ATLANTA , March 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (Nasdaq: BTM) (“Bitcoin Depot” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. Bitcoin Depot will host a conference call and webcast at 10:00 a.m. ET today. An earnings presentation and link to the webcast will be made available at ir.bitcoindepot.com.
“2025 was a strong year for Bitcoin Depot, with growth across the majority of our key operating and financial metrics,” said Scott Buchanan, CEO of Bitcoin Depot. “While fourth-quarter results declined year-over-year, this was primarily driven by recently enacted state regulations that introduced transaction size caps and, to a lesser extent, enhancements to our compliance standards that modestly affected near-term transaction activity. Importantly, we view both developments as constructive for the long-term health, credibility, and sustainability of the industry.”
“As the largest and most compliant crypto ATM operator in North America, we believe Bitcoin Depot is uniquely positioned to navigate this evolving regulatory environment and continue to gain share as the market matures,” Buchanan continued. “Subsequent to year-end, we further strengthened our growth profile by deploying our strong balance sheet and fintech platform to acquire Kutt, a peer-to-peer social betting platform. This acquisition marks our first entry into the P2P social betting market and reflects our broader strategy to thoughtfully diversify beyond our core Bitcoin ATM business while leveraging our payments infrastructure and compliance expertise.”
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $116.0 million compared to $136.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. This decrease was driven by recently enacted state regulations and enhanced compliance standards.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $15.3 million from $23.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Gross profit margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 13.2% compared to 17.2% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP measure, in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $17.3 million compared to $25.4 million in the year ago quarter. Adjusted gross profit margin, a non-GAAP measure, in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 14.9% compared to 18.6% in the year ago quarter. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $21.4 million compared to $15.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to higher legal services and compensation expense.
Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $24.9 million compared to net income of $5.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The fourth quarter of 2025 included an $18.5 million accrual for an arbitration judgment liability. Net loss attributable to common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $21.6 million, or $(2.08) per share, compared to a net loss of $6.6 million, or $(2.24) per share, in last year’s fourth quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $1.6 million compared to $13.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the lower revenue and higher operating expenses. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Cash, cash equivalents, and cryptocurrencies as of December 31, 2025, totaled $76.6 million, up from $31.0 million at the end of 2024.
Net cash flows provided by operations in 2025 increased 51% to $34.0 million compared to $22.5 million in 2024.
2025 Financial Results
Revenue in 2025 increased 7% to $614.9 million compared to $573.7 million in 2024. This increase was driven by increased kiosk deployment and higher median transaction size.
Gross profit in 2025 increased 30% to $105.6 million from $81.5 million in 2024. Gross profit margin in 2025 increased 300 basis points to 17.2% compared to 14.2% in 2024. Adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP measure, increased 24% to $113.3 million compared to $91.4 million in 2024. Adjusted gross profit margin, a non-GAAP measure, increased 250 basis points in 2025 to 18.4% compared to 15.9% in 2024. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Total operating expenses were $72.1 million in 2025 compared to $67.2 million in 2024 due to higher legal services expenses.
Net income in 2025 was $5.1 million compared to $7.8 million in 2024. 2025 included a $18.5 million accrual for an arbitration judgment liability. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $5.8 million, or $(0.81) per share, from a net loss of $11.7 million, or $(4.21) per share, in 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, in 2025 increased 42% to $56.4 million compared to $39.7 million in 2024. The increase was primarily due to the higher revenue and income from operations. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Outlook
The Company expects revenue for the core business in 2026 to be down in the range of 30% to 40%. This estimate reflects the uncertainty presented by the dynamic regulatory environment and enhanced compliance standards. While these will weigh on near-term results, we believe they will reinforce the integrity and sustainability of our business over the long term.

New platform marks continued diversification beyond core crypto ATM business
ATLANTA, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced the launch of ReadyBucks, a business advance platform designed to provide working capital solutions to small businesses, gig workers and independent contractors.
ReadyBucks operates as a standalone product, independent of the Company’s bitcoin kiosk business. It is an online platform offering business advances ranging from $500 to $2,000 as part of its initial rollout across select states.
According to Statista projections, an estimated 86.5 million Americans, more than half of the U.S. workforce, are expected to be freelancing by 2027, highlighting the sustained growth of the independent workforce that ReadyBucks aims to serve. Bitcoin Depot’s experience operating a large-scale transaction network, managing compliance programs, and overseeing payment processing capabilities create operational synergies that position the Company to support and scale this new product line effectively.
The platform provides revenue-based funding structured to support independent earners whose income may vary week-to-week, including gig workers, contractors, self-employed individuals, and freelancers. The funding is intended to support business operations and short-term working capital needs. Rather than borrowing funds through a traditional loan or performing a credit pull, customers enter a revenue-based funding arrangement, selling a fixed portion of future business revenue in exchange for immediate capital, with repayments over a fixed term.
“We have seen a growing need for flexible capital solutions designed specifically for independent earners and small operators. ReadyBucks is structured to provide working capital tailored to the needs of small businesses in the growing 1099 economy,” said Scott Buchanan, CEO of Bitcoin Depot. “By leveraging our strong operational foundation in compliance and payments expertise we’ve developed through our core kiosk business, we believe ReadyBucks is an important step in continuing to diversify our product offerings and revenue streams.”
ReadyBucks is currently available in nine states, with Bitcoin Depot planning to evaluate expansion into additional states over time. The launch builds on the company’s recent acquisitions of the peer-to-peer social betting platform Kutt, marking its first entry into the peer-to-peer betting market, as well as regional crypto kiosk operator Instant Coin Bank.

Company Enters Peer-to-Peer Social Betting Market as Part of Broader Product Diversification Strategy
ATLANTA, March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced that it has acquired Kutt, a peer-to-peer (“P2P”) social betting platform that enables users to wager directly against each other on both private and publicly verifiable events.
The acquisition marks Bitcoin Depot’s first entry into the P2P social betting market and reflects the Company’s broader strategy to diversify its product offerings beyond its core Bitcoin ATM business. Kutt’s platform is positioned within one of the fastest-growing segments of consumer fintech, as Americans wagered over $165 billion through U.S. sportsbooks in 2025, reflecting the continued expansion and normalization of legal, digital sports betting nationwide.
Founded in 2022, Kutt lets users set the terms of their bets across a range of markets, including sports, entertainment, and even user-generated events. Kutt provides a consumer-friendly platform for users to engage directly with one another in a social, gamified, and community-driven environment. Kutt is currently available in most U.S. states.
Traditional sportsbooks limit bettors to the markets, odds, and lines they choose to offer. Kutt removes the house from the equation, putting control in the user’s hands. Bettors agree on the terms of their wagers, making the experience more flexible and personalized. Through its many social features, Kutt offers friends, fans, and strangers an easy way to meaningfully connect with each other.
While Bitcoin Depot remains committed to serving its BTM customers and its crypto ATM network, the Company is increasingly investing in new digital product lines as it seeks to expand into adjacent fintech categories.
“The Kutt team has built a strong product with significant potential for growth,” said Scott Buchanan, CEO of Bitcoin Depot. “As we continue to grow beyond our core Bitcoin ATM business, we see a meaningful opportunity to support Kutt’s next phase through product innovation and expanded marketing reach.”
“Kutt has always been about bringing people together through friendly competition and making social betting simple and fun,” said Sim Harmon, founder and CEO of Kutt. “Becoming part of Bitcoin Depot gives us the opportunity to grow faster, reach new audiences, and build even better experiences for our community. We are grateful to everyone who has been part of our journey so far and excited to take this next step together.”
Kutt will continue to operate under its existing brand, with its leadership team remaining in place following the acquisition.
Since becoming the first U.S. Bitcoin ATM operator to go public in July 2023, Bitcoin Depot has demonstrated its ability to expand domestically and internationally while maintaining a focus on compliance, access, and customer experience.

Company strengthens industry-leading compliance program with new per-transaction identity verification procedure, enhancing protections against Crypto ATM fraud
ATLANTA, Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced it has initiated a phased rollout of a new compliance enhancement requiring customers to provide identification for every transaction at its kiosks, strengthening the Company’s safeguards against potential misuse. Bitcoin Depot is the first major operator in the industry to implement per-transaction ID collection, representing a significant advancement in its compliance protocols and ongoing efforts to prevent fraud and other illicit activity.
The policy began rolling out in February 2026 and is being implemented across Bitcoin Depot’s U.S. kiosk network, further strengthening the Company’s Know Your Customer (“KYC”) standards. By requiring identification for every transaction, the enhancement adds another layer of protection designed to help prevent account sharing, identity theft, and account takeover attempts as deployment continues.
“Bitcoin Depot has always prioritized compliance and consumer protection, and it’s crucial to our operations that we demonstrate proactive leadership in preventing fraud and building trust with our customers,” said Bitcoin Depot CEO Scott Buchanan. “Continuous verification allows us to detect suspicious activity based on customers, locations, or transaction amount before a transaction is approved. By requiring identity verification at every transaction, we are taking an additional step to strengthen security, protect customers, and maintain the integrity of our services.”
Building on its previously announced “First-Transaction ID Verification” policy, the new requirement extends identity checks beyond initial onboarding, introducing an additional layer of oversight for returning users. This approach enables Bitcoin Depot to apply a higher standard of transaction monitoring and to detect suspicious or unauthorized activity in real time.
Bitcoin Depot believes the updated compliance measure will offer meaningful protection for consumers as the digital asset industry continues to mature and works to eliminate misuse by bad actors.
Bitcoin Depot’s kiosks allow customers to seamlessly convert cash into Bitcoin, which customers can use to access the broader digital financial system for payments, transfers, remittances, and investments. Since becoming the first U.S. Bitcoin ATM operator to go public in July 2023, Bitcoin Depot has demonstrated its ability to expand domestically and internationally while maintaining a focus on compliance, access, and customer experience.

ATLANTA, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot Inc. (NASDAQ: BTM) (the “Company”) announced today that it will effect a one-for-seven (1:7) reverse stock split (“Reverse Split”) of its Common Stock (as defined below) that will become effective on February 23, 2026, at 12:01 a.m., Eastern time (the “Effective Time”). The Company’s Class A Common Stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “BTM” and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on February 23, 2026. The new CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock following the Reverse Split will be 09174P 303. The Company’s publicly traded warrants will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq under the symbol “BTMWW,” and the CUSIP number for the publicly traded warrants will remain unchanged.
On January 12, 2026, stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock (as defined below) took action by written consent to authorize the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to effect a reverse stock split with a ratio in a range from and including one-for-five (1:5) up to and including one-for-twenty (1:20). On February 12, 2026, the Board approved a one-for-seven (1:7) Reverse Split ratio. The Company has filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Split at the Effective Time.
For purposes of this press release: “Voting Stock” means, collectively, shares of our (i) Class A Common Stock, (ii) Class B Common Stock, (iii) Class M Common Stock, (iv) Class O Common Stock, and (v) Class V Common Stock, in each case with a par value $0.0001 per share; and “Common Stock” means, collectively, the Voting Stock and shares of our (i) Class E-1 Common Stock, (ii) Class E-2 Common Stock, and (iii) Class E-3 Common Stock, in each case with a par value $0.0001 per share.
Following the Reverse Split, the par value of each applicable series of Common Stock will remain unchanged. The Charter Amendment will not change the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or preferred stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Split will instead receive a cash payment, without interest or deduction, equal to (a) the fraction of one share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by (b) the volume weighted average price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source selected by the Company) for the period of the five consecutive trading days ending on and including the full trading day prior to the Effective Time (before giving effect to the Reverse Split). The Reverse Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity (other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares).
As of the Effective Time, and in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, we will also decrease the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of, and increase the exercise price of, each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock. Specifically, as of the Effective Time, every seven shares of Class A Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to the exercise of warrants will represent one share of Class A Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to such warrants. The exercise price per share for each warrant following the Reverse Split will equal $80.50, which is equal to $11.50, the exercise price per share immediately prior to the Reverse Split, multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to the Reverse Split, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
Additionally, outstanding equity-based awards granted pursuant to the Company’s 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under thereunder and other outstanding securities convertible or exchange into Common Stock will be proportionately adjusted in accordance with the terms thereof or as otherwise specified by the Board.
Shortly following the Effective Time, stockholders of record will be receiving information from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, the Company’s transfer agent, regarding their stock ownership following the Reverse Split. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” are not required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Split.
Additional information on the Reverse Split can be found in the Company’s definitive information statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2026, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website.

These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “anticipate,” “appears,” “approximately,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “designed,” “effect,” “estimate,” “evaluate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “initiative,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “priorities,” “project,” “pursue,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “when,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. In making these statements, we rely upon assumptions and analysis based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments, as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any future events or financial results. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond our control.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; future global, regional or local economic and market conditions; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations; our ability to manage future growth; our ability to develop new products and services, bring them to market in a timely manner and make enhancements to our platform; the effects of competition on our future business; our ability to issue equity or equity-linked securities; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; and those factors described or referenced in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect our expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our assessments to change.
We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or other factors that affect the subject of these statements, except where we are expressly required to do so by law. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
