ATLANTA, May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced that it has initiated a voluntary Chapter 11 process in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to effect an orderly wind-down of the Company’s operations and facilitate a sale of its assets.
“Over time, the Company has continued to strengthen its protocols and procedures to combat fraud and protect the customers who use its BTMs, including enhanced identity verification, customer fraud warnings, and its more recent adoption of lower transaction limits for its customers,” said Alex Holmes, CEO of Bitcoin Depot. “Nevertheless, the regulatory environment for BTM operators has shifted significantly: states have imposed increasingly stringent compliance obligations, including new transaction limits, and in some jurisdictions, outright restrictions or bans on BTM operations; and operators have faced increasing litigation and regulatory enforcement. These developments have materially affected Bitcoin Depot’s business and financial position. Under these circumstances, the Company’s current business model is unsustainable.”
Holmes continued, “After evaluating all options, we determined to initiate this court-supervised process to facilitate an orderly wind-down of operations and a sale of the Company’s assets. We are grateful to our customers, suppliers, and business partners for their support. I also want to thank our employees across the globe for their continued hard work and dedication.”
The Company’s network of BTMs has been taken offline. Bitcoin Depot has filed a number of customary “first day” motions with the Court.
The Company’s Canadian entities are included in the U.S. Court-supervised process and it expects to commence restructuring proceedings in Canada in due course. The Company’s other non-U.S. entities will be winding down under applicable foreign law.
Court filings and other information related to the proceedings are available through the Company’s claims agent at https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/bitcoindepot, by calling the restructuring hotline at (844) 339-4117 (Toll-Free US/Canada) / + 1 (332) 232-7827 (International) or emailing [email protected].

Seasoned compliance executive to support continued investment in industry-leading consumer protection and regulatory programs
ATLANTA, April 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced the appointment of Tony Gagliardi as Chief Compliance Officer, effective April 8, 2026.
In this role, Gagliardi will manage all aspects of Bitcoin Depot’s compliance program, overseeing the continued evolution of the Company’s compliance framework as regulatory expectations and state and federal requirements continue to develop. He will oversee the Company’s anti-money laundering (“AML”) and Know-Your-Customer programs, licensing and state-by-state regulatory compliance strategies, transaction monitoring, risk management, and the advancement of Bitcoin Depot’s consumer protection initiatives. Gagliardi will report directly to CEO Alex Holmes.
“Tony joins Bitcoin Depot during a pivotal period as we continue to enhance our compliance and consumer protection capabilities in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment,” said Holmes. “His expertise in regulatory matters and governance, along with his proven track record across financial services and digital assets, position him well to guide our compliance strategy as we further strengthen our leadership in responsible BTM operations.”
Gagliardi brings more than 15 years of experience building and leading compliance programs across banking, payments, fintech, and regulated digital assets. He has led global AML, fraud, and sanctions programs across both traditional finance and digital asset organizations and has navigated more than 12 major regulatory remediations. Prior to joining Bitcoin Depot, he held senior global compliance roles at leading regulated cryptocurrency firms, serving as Global Head of Sanctions at OKX, Director of Compliance Oversight at Paxos, and Global Head of Financial Crimes Compliance Governance at Coinbase. He brings additional experience from global financial institutions including HSBC and Standard Chartered.
“Bitcoin Depot has taken a proactive approach to compliance and consumer protection, and I’m excited to join the team at such an important time for the industry,” said Gagliardi. “I look forward to building on the Company’s strong foundation and continuing to enhance its compliance programs as the regulatory landscape evolves while supporting the Company’s continued growth and commitment to its customers.”
Gagliardi’s appointment reflects Bitcoin Depot’s continued focus on strengthening its compliance infrastructure and preventing fraud and other illicit activity. In February 2026, the Company initiated a phased rollout of a compliance enhancement requiring customer identification for every transaction at its kiosks. This initiative strengthens safeguards against potential misuse and positions Bitcoin Depot as the first major operator to implement per-transaction ID verification.

Leadership transition introduces seasoned external operator. The company announced that CEO Scott Buchanan has stepped down effective March 23, 2026, with founder Brandon Mintz stepping down as Executive Chairman and remaining on the Board in an advisory capacity. The Board appointed Alex Holmes as CEO and Chairman. Mr. Holmes brings relevant experience from his tenure as CEO of MoneyGram, particularly in payments infrastructure and regulatory compliance.
Transition comes at a pivotal time for the business. The leadership changes follow a quarter impacted by regulatory headwinds and ahead of a guided 30% to 40% decline in core BTM revenue in 2026. At the same time, the company is beginning to pursue new business initiatives, including its expansion into peer-to-peer betting and merchant cash advances. While the company noted the departures were not due to disagreements, in our view, the timing suggests the Board may be positioning the company for its next phase of execution as it navigates both regulatory pressure and early-stage diversification efforts.

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.”

Q4 results. Bitcoin Depot reported Q4 revenue of $116.0 million, above our estimate of $112.0 million, reflecting somewhat stronger transaction activity than anticipated despite emerging regulatory headwinds. Adj. EBITDA of $1.6 million was below our forecast of $2.5 million due to higher operating expenses during the quarter.
Initial steps toward revenue diversification. The company is beginning to expand beyond the core Bitcoin ATM network through new fintech initiatives. It recently acquired Kutt, a peer-to-peer social betting platform, and launched ReadyBucks, a merchant cash advance platform targeting small businesses and gig workers. Management indicated that both initiative are starting small and not expected to materially impact near-term revenue.

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.

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.

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.
