Q3 beat. The company reported solid Q3 results, beating our estimates on both revenue and adj. EBITDA. Q3 revenue was $135.3 million, better than our estimate of $130.6 million and adj. EBITDA was $9.2 million, better than our estimate of $7.8 million.

Kiosk re-deployment paying off. After focusing on re-deploying underperforming kiosks during 2023 and in the first half of 2024, the company’s kiosks appear to be gaining traction. This is evident in the median transaction size, which climbed from roughly $200 in the beginning of the year to $250 in Q3. Notably, it takes time for re-deployed kiosks to be discovered by potential users. As a result, newly deployed kiosks tend to have an initial drag on profitability.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Tweaking Q3 forecast. In anticipation of the company’s upcoming Q3 release, we are fine tuning our forecast, by tweaking down our Q3 revenue forecast from $134.0 million to $130.6 million, but maintaining our adj. EBITDA estimate of $7.8 million, as illustrated in Figure #1 Q3 Forecast Revisions.

A conservative approach. Our revision reflects the very near term adverse revenue impact from new kiosks. The company should add 900 kiosks in the second half of 2024. Installed kiosks typically ramp up volume and revenues over a 6 to 9 month period. We are taking a conservative approach to the revenue generation of newly installed kiosks.

Q2 beats expectations. The Company reported Q2 revenue of $163.1 million, beating our estimate of $147.6 million by 10.5%, and adj. EBITDA of $12.7 million, 37.1% above our estimate of $9.2 million. While revenue and adj. EBITDA were down 17.4% and 36.1% from the prior year period, respectively, we view 2024 as a transitional year and the Q2 results favorably. 

Kiosk deployment ahead of schedule.  Importantly, the company had 8,068 kiosks deployed at the end of Q2, surpassing its goal of having 8,000 kiosks deployed by year end. With more than 10,000 total owned kiosks (deployed and warehoused) and a strong pipeline of potential new partners, we are estimating the number of kiosk deployed at year end to be 9,000.

Release – Bitcoin Depot Targets Bitcoin Treasury Strategy

Research News and Market Data on BTM

June 17, 2024 8:00 AM EDT

Demonstrates the Company’s Confidence in the Future of Bitcoin by Strategically Allocating a Portion of Cash Reserves to BTC

ATLANTA, June 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced it plans to allocate a portion of its cash reserves to Bitcoin (BTC). Any future purchases will be opportunistic in nature and will not interfere with cash needs to support the company’s multiple growth opportunities.

This shift in BTM’s treasury strategy follows Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-08, which, among other things, allows companies to record gains held on cryptocurrencies. The ASU will apply to all entities with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.

“Adopting Bitcoin as part of our treasury strategy underscores our long-standing belief in Bitcoin as a significant financial asset and a store of value,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO of Bitcoin Depot. “We have always believed in providing easy access to Bitcoin for everyone, and this move reaffirms our confidence in Bitcoin’s potential for growth and stability. Given the recent accounting standards update, it also allows our shareholders to benefit from future BTC appreciation.”

Bitcoin, as an asset, has demonstrated remarkable resilience and growth since its inception, achieving a market capitalization of over $1 trillion at its peak. Institutional adoption has surged, with numerous companies and even countries recognizing Bitcoin’s value proposition. The introduction of Bitcoin ETFs has further legitimized its standing in traditional financial markets, making it more accessible to a wider range of investors. By including Bitcoin in its treasury strategy, Bitcoin Depot aligns itself with other forward-thinking institutions that see cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation and a strategic asset for future growth.

This news also marks the latest show of momentum for Bitcoin Depot, which holds the largest market BTM share in North America, with over 7,400 Bitcoin ATM locations. The announcement follows several recent milestones and expansions for the company, including its first partnership with a major grocery chain as well as the advancement of its newly launched profit share program in April 2024.

The company also recently surpassed its goal of signing 8,000 BTM locations ahead of schedule to achieve the largest installed fleet of locations in its history and announced expansions into new markets, including Puerto Rico and Australia.

Bitcoin Depot (BTM) – Planting the Seeds For Attractive Revenue Growth


Wednesday, May 15, 2024

Patrick McCann, CFA, Research Analyst, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

A transitional quarter. The company reported Q1 revenue of $138.5 million, down 15% year over year, but beating our estimate of $134.7 million. Adj. EBITDA in the quarter was $4.9 million, higher than our estimate of $4.0 million. The results reflected redeployment of kiosks and lowered results in California due to unfavorable legislation. 

Favorable kiosk growth. We believe that the company is setting the stage for accelerated revenue and cash flow growth through the deployment of kiosks. In Q1, the company increased the number of deployed kiosks by roughly 700. Post Q1, the company announced the purchase of approximately 2,300 Bitcoin kiosks at a sizeable discount of roughly 50% per-kiosk. The purchase brings the number of kiosks owned by the company to over 10,000, of which 7,061 were deployed, as of the end of Q1.

Research News and Market Data on BTM

ATLANTA, April 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (“Bitcoin Depot” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced a strategic investment from Sopris Capital (“Sopris”), a 20-year-old multi-strategy investment firm. As part of the investment, Sopris Capital has purchased 2,906,976 Class A common shares and is now one of the Company`s largest independent shareholders.

“We are thrilled to own part of a growing, market-leading business at such a compelling valuation. We look forward to collaborating with Bitcoin Depot as they pursue their numerous growth initiatives,” said Andy Paul, Founder and CEO of Sopris Capital.

“We’re excited to welcome Sopris Capital as a strategic investor to help accelerate our growth,” said Bitcoin Depot CEO Brandon Mintz. “With their extensive network of valuable relationships and experience in the cryptocurrency space, Sopris Capital is a fantastic fit for us. Most importantly, they understand our mission and our value proposition.”

In March of this year Sopris Capital purchased 50 kiosks to become a partner in Bitcoin Depot`s Franchise Program, which allowed Sopris to leverage Bitcoin Depot`s operating expertise and receive a passive income stream from its Bitcoin ATMs.

“The investment reinforces the confidence we have in Bitcoin Depot’s strategy and growth potential, which we believe is not reflected in the current public market valuation given their underlying unit economics and ability to redeploy capital at a high return,” said Sopris Capital Vice President Dan Wedman.

Bitcoin Depot’s products and services provide an intuitive, quick, and convenient process for converting cash into Bitcoin, giving users the ability to access the broader digital financial system, including using their Bitcoin for purposes of making payments, transfers, remittances, online purchases, and investments.

This news marks the latest show of momentum for Bitcoin Depot, which holds the largest market BTM share in North America, with over 7,400 Bitcoin ATM locations. The announcement follows several recent milestones and expansions for the company, including its first partnership with a major grocery chain as well as the advancement of its newly launched profit share program in April 2024. The company also recently surpassed its goal of signing 8,000 BTM locations ahead of schedule to achieve the largest installed fleet of locations in its history and announced expansions into new markets, including Puerto Rico and Australia.

Opportunistic kiosk purchase.  On April 18, the company announced the purchase of roughly 2,300 Bitcoin kiosks at a discount of approximately 50% per-kiosk.

ATLANTA, April 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced an outside investment firm has committed a multi-million-dollar investment into 250 Bitcoin Depot BTM kiosks as part of the Company’s profit share program. The BTMs, operated by Bitcoin Depot, will provide passive income to the investment fund by paying out a percentage of monthly profits from these 250 kiosks.

International expansion. The company recently announced its plans to ship 125 kiosks to Australia’s largest cities, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, in Q2 2024. Notably, we believe there is a sizeable opportunity for growth in Australia, which has a population of approximately 27 million people, and less than 1000 Bitcoin ATM’s in the entire county. In addition to Australia, the company expanded to Puerto Rico in March, adding 87 kiosks.

Franchise opportunities. In our view, the company should benefit from franchising, which offers the company a capital efficient method to expand operations. Notably, the company captures roughly 30%-50% of profits from franchise locations with virtually no capital committed. We view the relatively new franchise program favorably.

Release – Bitcoin Depot Announces Expansion into Australia with 125 Bitcoin ATMs

Research News and Market Data on BTM

April 04, 2024 8:00 AM EDT

Bitcoin Depot plans to install BTMs in Retail Locations Across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane

ATLANTA, April 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced that it plans to expand its footprint internationally into Australia and ship 125 kiosks to the country in Q2 2024. The Company eagerly anticipates further expanding its global presence by offering its cash-to-Bitcoin services to individuals across the biggest metropolitan cities in the country, such as Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. This announcement follows closely on the heels of the Company’s expansion into Puerto Rico in March.

“This strategic expansion into Australia marks a significant step for us, bringing our Bitcoin ATMs to more of an untapped market with significant growth potential and lower competition,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO of Bitcoin Depot. “Our goal is to offer a simple, quick, and convenient process for converting cash into Bitcoin. We see immense opportunity for growth in Australia and are excited to work with new retail partners, serve a broader customer base, and introduce Bitcoin to new users across the country. With this announcement, Bitcoin Depot will be operating in at least three countries in 2024, and we believe there is potential for further international expansion.”

Bitcoin Depot sees immense potential for Australia due to the country’s roughly 27 million-person population and its current BTM kiosk count of roughly 950 BTMs amongst only 10 operators, according to data from Coin ATM Radar. This presents a unique opportunity for the Company to capitalize on this gap in the market and the growing demand for accessible Bitcoin services in the country.

Bitcoin Depot’s products and services provide an intuitive, quick, and convenient process for converting cash into Bitcoin. This allows users to access the broader digital financial system, including using Bitcoin to make payments, transfers, remittances, online purchases, and investments.

“When I founded Bitcoin Depot seven years ago, my vision was to make cryptocurrency accessible to all. Today, I’m thrilled to see the significant strides we’ve made, particularly with our geographic expansion into Australia. This move not only enhances accessibility but also underscores our commitment to providing exceptional convenience and service in as many retail locations as possible,” said Mintz.

This news adds to the Company’s momentum, following recent expansion announcements and surpassing its goal of deploying 8,000 Bitcoin ATMs. Bitcoin Depot now boasts the largest installed fleet of BTMs in its history, solidifying its position as the leading BTM operator in North America. Despite market turbulence, the Company went public on a major U.S. stock exchange in 2023, earning recognition in Forbes 30 Under 30 and Deloitte’s 2023 Technology Fast 500.
