ATLANTA, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot Inc. (“Bitcoin Depot” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM operator and leading fintech company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. 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.
“As we highlighted in our fourth-quarter pre-announcement, 2024 ended on a strong note, driven by sequential revenue growth and substantial improvements in adjusted EBITDA, both sequentially and year-over-year,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO and Founder of Bitcoin Depot. “In the fourth quarter, we made significant progress in expanding our Bitcoin ATM network and optimizing existing machines to enhance profitability — and the results speak for themselves.
“Looking ahead, we are confident that the optimization efforts we implemented throughout 2024 will begin to positively impact our financial performance as we move through 2025. With our aggressive international and domestic kiosk expansion strategy, we anticipate that 2025 will mark a strong return to growth for the business. As part of this, we are reintroducing financial guidance, projecting robust growth in the first quarter. Additionally, we remain committed to leveraging our strong cash flow to drive shareholder value initiatives, including the potential for a cash dividend. We have also continued to strengthen our Bitcoin treasury holdings, recently increasing our total to 94 BTC, reflecting our confidence in Bitcoin as a valuable financial asset and an integral part of our business model.”
Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $136.8 million compared to $148.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. This decline was driven by the impact of unfavorable legislation that was passed in California that went into effect in January 2024, along with the Company’s continued process of relocating underperforming kiosks to optimize fleet profitability.
Total operating expenses declined 16% to $15.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $17.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 due to the costs of going public in 2023 that did not recur in 2024.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased significantly to $5.4 million compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was due to lower depreciation and amortization and lower operating expenses in 2024.
Adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP measure, in the third quarter of 2024 increased 18% to $25.4 million from $21.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit margin, a non-GAAP measure, in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased approximately 400 basis points to 18.6% compared to 14.5% in the fourth quarter of 2023. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased 34% to $12.0 million compared to $9.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the higher net income. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Full Year 2024 Financial Results
Revenue in 2024 was $573.7 million from $689.0 million in 2023. This decline was largely driven by the impact of unfavorable legislation that was passed in California that went into effect in January 2024, along with the Company’s continued process of relocating underperforming kiosks in order to optimize fleet profitability.
Total operating expenses declined 5% to $67.2 million compared to $70.6 million in 2023 due to the costs of going public in 2023 that did not recur in 2024 as well as other cost saving measures.
Net income in 2024 increased by 432% to $7.8 million compared to $1.5 million in 2023. The increase was primarily due to expenses with going public in 2023 that did not recur in 2024 along with other expense reductions.
Adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP measure, in 2024 was $91.4 million compared to $101.0 million in 2023. The adjusted gross profit margin, a non-GAAP measure, in 2024 increased 120 basis points to 15.9% compared to 14.7% in 2023. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, in 2024 was $38.7 million compared to $56.3 million in 2023. The decline was due to the lower revenue. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Cash, cash equivalents, and cryptocurrencies were $31.0 million as of the end of 2024 compared to $30.5 million at the end of 2023.
Q1 2025 Outlook
Q1 2025 is off to a very strong start as we continue to see growth from our relocation strategy. We anticipate Q1 revenues to be between $151 million and $154 million which would represent growth of between 9% and 11% compared to Q1 2024.
We are projecting adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2025 to be between $12 million and $14 million which would represent growth of over 200% compared to Q1 of 2024.

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Bitcoin Depot reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This press release includes both historical and projected Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom such as Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Gross Profit margin, which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring expenses, share-based compensation, expenses related to the PIPE financing and miscellaneous cost adjustments. Such items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. In addition, Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted Gross Profit (a non-GAAP financial measure) as revenue less cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) and depreciation and amortization adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization. Bitcoin Depot believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit each provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Bitcoin Depot’s results of operations, as well as provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of Bitcoin Depot’s business performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit are each key measurements used internally by management to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance and perform strategic and financial planning. However, you should be aware that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Bitcoin Depot’s financial results, and further, that Bitcoin Depot may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Bitcoin Depot primarily relies on GAAP results and uses both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit on a supplemental basis. Neither Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Gross Profit should be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP and may not be indicative of Bitcoin Depot’s historical or future operating results. Bitcoin Depot’s computation of both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate such measures in the same fashion. As such, undue reliance should not be placed on such measures.
Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from the projections of Adjusted EBITDA, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, Bitcoin Depot is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:

Key Points: – Bitcoin fell below $90,000 for the first time since January, marking a nearly 20% decline from its all-time high. – A $1.5 billion security breach at Bybit and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty have contributed to the market selloff. – Crypto-linked stocks like MicroStrategy and Coinbase have also seen significant declines as investor confidence wanes.
Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, tumbled below the $90,000 mark on Monday, extending a broader crypto market selloff. As of 10:57 AM EST, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $87,595, reflecting a 6.8% decline from the previous close. The leading digital asset has now fallen nearly 20% from its record high of $109,000 set in January.
The downturn has impacted the broader cryptocurrency market, with Ethereum (ETH) dropping 8.7% to $2,418 and other major altcoins like Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) posting losses of 7.9% and 8.8%, respectively.
Several factors have weighed on Bitcoin’s price, including macroeconomic uncertainty, regulatory concerns, and a major security breach. The broader financial markets have shown increased volatility, with the S&P 500 posting a three-day losing streak. Investors are wary of persistent inflation and the Federal Reserve’s policy stance, which has added to Bitcoin’s downward momentum.
Adding to the pressure, a $1.5 billion hack on Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange Bybit last week has shaken investor confidence. Although Bybit reassured customers that their assets remained safe, the breach has reignited fears over crypto security vulnerabilities.
Regulatory uncertainty is also playing a role in market sentiment. The recent inauguration of President Donald Trump has introduced questions about the administration’s stance on cryptocurrency regulation. While Trump’s pro-business policies could favor crypto adoption, the lack of clear guidelines has created short-term uncertainty for investors.
The selloff has extended beyond digital assets, impacting crypto-related equities. Shares of MicroStrategy (MSTR), a major corporate holder of Bitcoin, fell 8.5%, while Coinbase Global (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD) saw declines of 7% to 9%. The downturn in these stocks underscores Bitcoin’s influence on the broader financial market.
Market analysts remain divided on Bitcoin’s short-term outlook. Some believe the digital asset has not yet found its floor, with Geoffrey Kendrick, global head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered, predicting further declines into the “low $80Ks.”
Others see the price drop as a potential buying opportunity. Data from Kraken suggests an increase in the long-short ratio, indicating that traders are “buying the dip” in anticipation of a recovery. However, given the ongoing volatility, analysts urge investors to exercise caution before making any significant moves.
As Bitcoin navigates uncertain terrain, investors are watching macroeconomic developments, regulatory updates, and market liquidity for further signals. While the cryptocurrency has historically rebounded from sharp corrections, the current environment calls for prudent risk management.
For now, Bitcoin remains at a crossroads, and its next move will depend on whether confidence can be restored in the market.

Key Points: – Bitcoin hits $104,000, marking a 420% increase from its $20,000 price two years ago – Trump names David Sacks as crypto “czar” and plans regulatory overhaul – Administration aims to create $21 billion Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
Bitcoin’s price surged past $100,000 on Friday as cryptocurrency markets anticipate major policy shifts under President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration. The world’s leading cryptocurrency rose approximately 5% to $104,000, reflecting growing optimism about Trump’s promised pro-crypto agenda.
Trump, who once dismissed bitcoin as a “scam,” has undergone a dramatic shift in his stance toward digital currencies. His campaign promises include transforming the United States into the global “crypto capital,” with specific plans for industry-friendly regulations and the establishment of a government cryptocurrency stockpile.
The president-elect has already begun assembling a team of crypto advocates for key positions, including David Sacks as the administration’s cryptocurrency “czar” and Bo Hines as executive director of the Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets. Paul Atkins, Trump’s pick to lead the SEC, has been a vocal supporter of cryptocurrencies, signaling a stark departure from the regulatory approach of the Biden administration.
One of Trump’s most ambitious proposals is the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which would require the Treasury Department to maintain at least $21 billion in bitcoin through its Exchange Stabilization Fund. This initiative would represent a significant shift in government policy, as historically, the U.S. has auctioned off cryptocurrency seized in law enforcement operations.
The cryptocurrency industry, which felt targeted by outgoing SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s enforcement actions, has welcomed these developments. Peter Van Valkenburgh, executive director of Coin Center, expressed optimism about the expected “tone change at the SEC” under the new administration.
The industry’s enthusiasm is evident in the organization of the first-ever “Crypto Ball,” a sold-out celebration featuring “an elite lineup of musical entertainment” to mark the inauguration of what supporters are calling the first “crypto president.”
However, critics continue to raise concerns about cryptocurrency’s volatile nature and its potential use in illegal activities. Despite these reservations, bitcoin has demonstrated remarkable resilience, with its value increasing dramatically from around $20,000 two years ago to its current record levels.
As Trump prepares to take office on January 20, the cryptocurrency market eagerly awaits the implementation of his promised policies, which could reshape the regulatory landscape for digital assets in the United States.

Adding 50 kiosks. On December 8, the company announced the deployment of 50 additional kiosks through a new partnership with a convenience store operator. The newly deployed kiosks are in the Texas Panhandle and surrounding region, including multiple states.
Executing its kiosk expansion strategy. In our view, the recent development illustrates the company’s favorable execution of its kiosk expansion strategy. Importantly, the company owns over 10,000 kiosks, of which roughly 8,300 were deployed as of September 30, 2024. As such, we believe the company is well positioned to aggressively deploy additional kiosks and seed future revenue growth.

HPC and AI. As of November 30, 2024, Bit Digital had 266 servers actively generating revenue and earned approximately $4.3 million of total unaudited GPU Cloud revenue during the month. At Enovum’s data center, the Company had 13 customers actively generating revenue with colocation revenue of approximately $503,500. We believe the Boosteroid agreement, along with the two MSAs signed in the third quarter should expand revenue in the coming months.
Mining Side. The Company produced 44.9 BTC in the month, a 14.0% decrease from 52.2 BTC in October. The active hash rate was 2.51 EH/s, a slight increase from 2.43 EH/s last month. Bit Digital’s hosting provider, Coinmint, being acquired resulted in the termination of hosting contracts. Management has signed term sheets for the lost hosting capacity and is replacing energy inefficient miners, with a 3.0 EH/s active hash rate expected by the first half of 2025.

ATLANTA, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot Inc. (“Bitcoin Depot” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM operator and leading fintech company, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. 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.
“During the third quarter, we made significant strides in expanding our Bitcoin ATM network while working to optimize existing machines for greater profitability,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO and Founder of Bitcoin Depot. “We ended the quarter with 8,300 machines, surpassing our goals and reflecting our team’s execution and vision to enhance Bitcoin’s accessibility.
“In the past year, we’ve focused on relocating underperforming BTMs to more promising locations, a strategy that historically boosts average profitability per kiosk over time. While this improvement may not be fully visible in our consolidated quarterly numbers, the strategy is proving effective. With our extensive kiosk footprint and these initiatives in place, we are confident in our ability to drive shareholder value moving forward.
“As a result of our continued cash flow generation, we believe that beginning a cash dividend to common shareholders in 2025 will be one of the ways we create value for shareholders.”
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $135.3 million, down 25% from $179.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. This decline was largely driven by the impact of unfavorable legislation that was passed in California that went into effect in January 2024, along with the Company’s continued process of relocating underperforming kiosks in order to optimize fleet profitability.
Total operating expenses declined 13% to $16.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $19.5 million for the third quarter of 2023 due to costs of going public in 2023 that did not recur in 2024.
Net income for the third quarter of 2024 increased 116% to $2.3 million, compared to net income of $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase was due to lower operating expenses in 2024, and expenses associated with the PIPE financing in the third quarter of 2023 that did not recur in 2024.
Adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP measure, in the third quarter of 2024 was $22.4 million, down 17% from $26.9 million for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit margin, a non-GAAP measure, in the third quarter of 2024 increased approximately 160 basis points to 16.6% compared to 15.0% in the third quarter of 2023. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, in the third quarter of 2024 decreased 34% to $9.2 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $13.9 million for the third quarter of 2023. The decline was due to the lower revenue. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Cash and cash equivalents were $32.2 million as of the end of the third quarter of 2024. The Company generated $5.8 million in cash flows from operations in the third quarter and $17.3 million for the first nine months of 2024.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company generated $5.8 million of cash flow from operations compared to $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Bitcoin Depot reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This press release includes both historical and projected Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom such as Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Gross Profit margin, which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring expenses, share-based compensation, expenses related to the PIPE financing and miscellaneous cost adjustments. Such items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. In addition, Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted Gross Profit (a non-GAAP financial measure) as revenue less cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) and depreciation and amortization adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization. Bitcoin Depot believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit each provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Bitcoin Depot’s results of operations, as well as provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of Bitcoin Depot’s business performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit are each key measurements used internally by management to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance and perform strategic and financial planning. However, you should be aware that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Bitcoin Depot’s financial results, and further, that Bitcoin Depot may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Bitcoin Depot primarily relies on GAAP results and uses both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit on a supplemental basis. Neither Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Gross Profit should be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP and may not be indicative of Bitcoin Depot’s historical or future operating results. Bitcoin Depot’s computation of both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate such measures in the same fashion. As such, undue reliance should not be placed on such measures.
Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from the projections of Adjusted EBITDA, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, Bitcoin Depot is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:
In the wake of recent elections, the stock and cryptocurrency markets have surged as investor optimism is fueled by FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). While this bullish momentum brings opportunities, it also signals caution, especially given the high volatility seen across markets. For investors, understanding the potential and risks in this unique environment is key to making wise decisions.
One notable trend is the recent outperformance of the Russell 2000 index, an index that tracks small-cap stocks, which has shown greater gains compared to larger indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. This trend hints at potential opportunities within small-cap companies, but it’s crucial for investors to recognize the volatile backdrop surrounding these gains.
The Russell 2000 index, composed primarily of small-cap stocks, has experienced a significant uptick in recent weeks, outpacing some of the larger, more familiar indices. Small-cap stocks historically perform well during economic recoveries, as investors tend to favor companies with high-growth potential. Smaller companies often have greater room for expansion compared to established giants, which can lead to impressive returns if these firms capitalize on their growth potential.
For investors who can tolerate a higher level of risk, small-cap stocks within the Russell 2000 may offer appealing opportunities. However, even in an optimistic market, it’s essential to approach these investments carefully, as smaller companies tend to be more volatile and sensitive to economic shifts.
Post-election optimism isn’t unusual, and investors often flock to markets anticipating favorable policies or economic changes that could benefit various sectors. This year, that optimism is even more pronounced as both traditional and digital markets see upward momentum. The crypto markets are also surging, with certain tokens like Bitcoin reaching new highs alongside the rally in stocks. These gains across both asset types contribute to the FOMO effect, where investors feel compelled to jump in quickly, potentially without due diligence.
However, FOMO can lead to hasty decisions, as investors rush to capture potential gains without fully evaluating the risks. In the current climate, it’s critical to remember that the same forces driving prices up can lead to sudden drops as market conditions shift.
Despite these upward trends, the high volatility in both stock and crypto markets should serve as a caution flag. Small-cap stocks, while promising, are known for their vulnerability to rapid price swings. They’re also more likely to be affected by liquidity issues, which can amplify losses during sell-offs. Similarly, cryptocurrencies are notoriously volatile and subject to external forces such as regulatory changes, technological developments, and shifts in investor sentiment.
For those considering investments in these areas, being prepared for sudden price changes and being comfortable with the associated risks is essential.
To navigate these volatile waters successfully, investors should keep the following tips in mind:
Risk Assessment – Understanding your personal risk tolerance is crucial, especially with small-cap stocks and cryptocurrencies. Not every portfolio is suited for high-risk, high-volatility assets, so evaluate carefully before diving in.
Diversification – A diversified portfolio can help manage risk by balancing small-cap and cryptocurrency investments with more stable assets. This approach can soften the impact of any single asset’s fluctuations, creating a more resilient portfolio.
Due Diligence – For investors interested in small-cap stocks, doing thorough research is essential. Look for companies with solid fundamentals, promising growth potential, and innovative offerings that set them apart from competitors.
Stay Informed – Markets can shift quickly, especially during periods of economic or political change. Following relevant news and trends can help investors stay ahead of potential risks and make informed decisions when the market moves.
The post-election market surge brings both promise and caution. Investors looking to take advantage of small-cap stock outperformance or capitalize on crypto market gains should do so with a clear understanding of the risks. In a market driven by FOMO, a balanced approach that includes careful research, risk management, and diversification is key. With these strategies, investors can navigate today’s volatility effectively, capturing opportunities without losing sight of the inherent risks.
