ATLANTA, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot Inc. (Nasdaq: BTM) (“Bitcoin Depot” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM operator and leading fintech company, announced it has simplified its organizational and capital structure by eliminating its Up-C Restructuring (the “Up-C Restructuring”).
Pursuant to the Up-C Restructuring, BT Assets, Inc., an entity controlled by the Company’s Founder and CEO, Brandon Mintz, that held Common Units in BT HoldCo LLC and shares of the Company’s Class V Common Stock has merged with a subsidiary of the Company and received 41,193,024 shares of the Company’s Class M common stock, which will continue to carry 10 votes per share, as consideration in the merger.
In connection with the Up-C Restructuring, all of the shares of the Company’s Class V Common Stock held by BT Assets have been transferred to the Company and cancelled. After giving effect to the Up-C Restructuring, Mintz holds a total of 41,193,024 shares of the Company’s Class M Common Stock and 142,973 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.
Post-transaction, Bitcoin Depot now wholly-owns its principal operating subsidiaries. The Company believes the simpler structure will offer benefits like better stock liquidity, easier use of stock for acquisitions, and a clearer corporate profile.
In addition, the Up-C Restructuring extinguishes the $2.2 million Tax Receivable Agreement liability and will lead to further long-term savings, as the Company estimates its cash tax rate will be reduced by an estimated 12 percentage points. Other professional services costs associated with tax, accounting and legal will also be reduced by this simpler structure.

Key Points: – Circle launches IPO to raise $624M, targeting a $5.65B valuation amid stablecoin growth. – USDC’s market cap has surged 40% in 2025, driven by rising demand and pending U.S. regulation. – Cathie Wood’s ARK and Coinbase stand to benefit as Circle eyes wider institutional adoption.
Circle, the fintech firm behind the widely-used USDC stablecoin, has officially launched its long-anticipated initial public offering (IPO), aiming to raise approximately $624 million. The move would value the company at around $5.65 billion — and closer to $6.7 billion when including outstanding shares and options — marking a pivotal moment for both Circle and the broader digital asset space.
The offering includes 24 million shares of Class A common stock, priced between $24 and $26 per share. Of those, Circle itself will sell 9.6 million, while existing shareholders are offloading the remaining 14.4 million. The shares will trade under the ticker CRCL on the New York Stock Exchange, giving traditional investors direct exposure to one of the most influential players in the crypto ecosystem.
Founded in 2018, Circle’s signature product, USD Coin (USDC), is now the second-largest stablecoin in the world, with around $62 billion in circulation — roughly 27% of the total stablecoin market. It trails only Tether (USDT), which holds a 67% share. However, USDC has outpaced its rival in growth this year, boasting a 40% increase in market cap compared to Tether’s 10%, according to CryptoQuant.
The IPO comes at a strategic inflection point for the crypto industry, as U.S. lawmakers move closer to passing the first major federal legislation aimed at stablecoins. Last week, the Senate advanced a regulatory bill that would establish clear guidelines for their issuance and oversight. Former President Donald Trump, now back in office, has voiced strong support for crypto regulation and stated his desire to sign a stablecoin-focused bill before the August recess.
A significant backer of Circle’s IPO is ARK Investment Management, led by Cathie Wood, which has signaled interest in purchasing up to $150 million worth of shares — a vote of confidence in Circle’s future and stablecoin utility.
The IPO is also expected to have notable ripple effects for Coinbase, a co-founder of USDC and one of its primary distribution channels. Coinbase and Circle maintain a 50/50 revenue-sharing agreement on USDC, and the crypto exchange earns 100% of the interest income generated by USDC-based products on its platform. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has called making USDC the world’s top stablecoin a “stretch goal” for the company.
Beyond trading and DeFi use cases, USDC and other stablecoins have increasingly been recognized for their ability to move U.S. dollars quickly and inexpensively across borders. This functionality is attracting attention from fintech firms, traditional banks, and policymakers alike — especially as global conversations around preserving U.S. dollar dominance intensify.
With its IPO, Circle isn’t just going public — it’s stepping into the spotlight as a central player in the next era of global finance.
Bitcoin soared to a new all-time high on Wednesday, piercing through the $109,000 mark and marking yet another milestone in the cryptocurrency’s volatile but increasingly legitimized journey. The flagship digital asset reached an intraday peak of $109,500 before slightly paring gains, according to data from Coin Metrics. At last check, it was trading around $108,955—up over 2% on the day and 16% higher for the month of May so far.
This surge caps off a month of bullish momentum for Bitcoin, fueled by a cocktail of macroeconomic tailwinds, favorable sentiment, and deepening institutional adoption. Analysts say the rally is being supported by a combination of softening U.S. inflation, easing geopolitical tensions—especially in U.S.-China trade—and mounting concerns about fiat currencies following Moody’s recent downgrade of U.S. sovereign debt.
Just months ago, in April, Bitcoin had dipped as low as $74,000, amid heightened global uncertainty and a broader risk-off sentiment. The turnaround underscores how quickly sentiment can swing in the crypto space—especially when supported by fundamental developments.
Institutional Money Flows In
Institutional interest continues to be a driving force behind Bitcoin’s latest leg higher. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to the digital asset have attracted more than $40 billion in cumulative inflows, with just two days of outflows in May—a sign of sustained demand.
Meanwhile, on-chain data reveals declining selling pressure. Bitcoin inflows into centralized exchanges remain low, suggesting long-term holders are staying put. Liquidity is also expanding, as seen by growing reserves of Tether (USDT), a stablecoin often used to enter crypto positions, now sitting at record levels on exchanges. This indicates fresh buying power is ready to be deployed.
Regulatory Progress Fuels Optimism
Another catalyst powering the rally is the recent advancement of crypto-focused legislation in Washington. The U.S. Senate this week approved a bill to establish a national framework for regulating stablecoins, a key component of the broader crypto ecosystem. President Donald Trump has expressed interest in signing the legislation before the August congressional recess—a development that could bring clarity and credibility to the space.
Adding fuel to the fire, Coinbase—the largest U.S. crypto exchange—was recently added to the S&P 500 index, a symbolic milestone that’s helping cement crypto’s place in the traditional financial system.
As Bitcoin climbs to new heights, questions naturally arise about sustainability and the possibility of a correction. But for now, the world’s largest cryptocurrency is riding high, and investors are watching closely to see if this breakout is just the beginning of another historic bull run.

1Q25 Overview. Bit Digital’s first quarter results were affected by mark-to-market losses on digital assets and lower bitcoin mining revenue, both of which reflected industry-wide headwinds and the strategic rebalancing of the business. The Company continued to make meaningful progress in scaling the infrastructure platform and diversifying revenue streams.
1Q25 Results. Revenue of $25.1 million was down 17% y-o-y as digital asset mining revenue fell 64%, while cloud services revenue jumped 84%. We were at $24.8 million. Driven by $49.3 million of mark-to-market losses on digital assets, Bit Digital reported a net loss of $57.7 million, or $0.32/sh, compared to a loss of $11.9 million, or $0.09/sh, last year. We projected a loss of $13.1 million, or $0.07/sh.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Revenue in the first quarter of 2025 increased 19% to $164.2 million compared to $138.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. This increase was driven by increased kiosk deployment and higher median transaction size.
Total operating expenses declined 7% to $15.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $16.6 million for the first quarter of 2024 due to lower depreciation expense and insurance costs as the Company continues to optimize its cost structure as a steady-state public company.
Net income for the first quarter of 2025 increased significantly to $12.2 million, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2024. Net income attributable to common shareholders increased to $4.2 million, or $0.20 per share, from a net loss of $1.5 million, or ($0.25) per share, in last year’s first quarter. The increase was due to higher revenue and gross profit in 2025.
Adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP measure, in the first quarter of 2025 increased 92% to $33.1 million from $17.3 million for the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted gross profit margin, a non-GAAP measure, in the first quarter of 2025 increased approximately 770 basis points to 20.2% compared to 12.5% in the first quarter of 2024. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, in the first quarter of 2025 increased 315% to $20.3 million compared to $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the higher revenue and gross profit. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Cash, cash equivalents, and cryptocurrencies as of March 31, 2025, were $43.3 million compared to $31.0 million at the end of 2024. The company used $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 to acquire 83 more Bitcoin, bringing the total held for investment to 94.35 BTC.
Net cash flows provided by operations in the first quarter of 2025 were up significantly to $16.3 million compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Key Points – Coinbase acquires Deribit in a $2.9B cash-and-stock deal to expand its crypto derivatives business globally. – The acquisition strengthens Coinbase’s presence in Europe and Asia, where leveraged trading is more common. – The deal positions Coinbase for potential future U.S. regulatory shifts that may allow options trading domestically.
Coinbase is making a bold move to expand its global reach and diversify its offerings by acquiring Deribit, a leading crypto derivatives exchange, in a $2.9 billion deal. This acquisition, comprising $700 million in cash and 11 million shares of Coinbase stock, positions Coinbase to tap into the burgeoning market for crypto options and futures, particularly outside the United States.
Deribit, founded in 2016 and now headquartered in Dubai, has established itself as a dominant player in the crypto derivatives space, with 2024 trading volumes nearing $1.2 trillion. The platform’s strength lies in its robust offerings of options, futures, and spot trading services, attracting a growing base of institutional investors.
This acquisition aligns with a broader trend of consolidation in the crypto industry, spurred by a favorable regulatory climate under President Trump’s administration. Recent notable deals include Kraken’s $1.5 billion acquisition of NinjaTrader and Ripple’s $1.25 billion purchase of Hidden Road. Coinbase’s move to acquire Deribit underscores its commitment to expanding its derivatives capabilities and solidifying its position as a comprehensive player in the global crypto market.
The deal is expected to enhance Coinbase’s presence in non-U.S. markets, especially in Asia and Europe, where leveraged trading is more prevalent. By integrating Deribit’s advanced trading infrastructure, Coinbase aims to offer a broader range of derivatives products to its international clients, catering to both institutional and retail traders seeking sophisticated risk management tools.
Analysts view this acquisition as a strategic step for Coinbase to capitalize on the growing demand for crypto derivatives, which offer traders the ability to hedge positions and navigate market volatility effectively. With the crypto market maturing and attracting more institutional participation, the addition of Deribit’s platform is poised to drive significant revenue growth for Coinbase.
In the context of the evolving regulatory landscape, Coinbase’s acquisition of Deribit also reflects a proactive approach to navigating compliance requirements while expanding its global footprint. Deribit’s relocation to Dubai and its licensing under the Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) provide Coinbase with a strategic base to operate in a jurisdiction that is increasingly becoming a hub for crypto innovation.
As the crypto industry continues to evolve, Coinbase’s acquisition of Deribit marks a significant milestone in its journey to become a leading global crypto exchange with a comprehensive suite of products and services. This move not only enhances Coinbase’s competitive edge but also signals a broader shift towards the integration of advanced financial instruments in the digital asset ecosystem.
With this acquisition, Coinbase is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for sophisticated trading solutions and to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the global crypto derivatives market.
Key Points: – Ripple reportedly made a $4–$5 billion bid to acquire USDC issuer Circle, which was declined. – Circle is pursuing a public listing and is currently in a regulatory quiet period. – The deal reflects intensifying competition in the stablecoin space ahead of expected U.S. legislation.
Crypto payments firm Ripple made headlines this week after reports emerged that it offered between $4 billion and $5 billion to acquire Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin. While the offer was ultimately turned down, the attempted acquisition highlights a growing race among major players in the digital asset space to consolidate infrastructure and scale stablecoin capabilities ahead of impending U.S. regulation.
According to Bloomberg, Ripple’s bid was rebuffed by Circle as undervaluing the company. The timing is notable: Circle recently filed for a public listing with the SEC and is currently in a regulatory “quiet period,” restricting its ability to comment on financial matters. Nevertheless, the attempted acquisition sheds light on Ripple’s expansion strategy and broader trends in the maturing stablecoin ecosystem.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has previously stated the company would be “more proactive in looking at acquisitions,” particularly in blockchain infrastructure. Ripple’s recent launch of its own stablecoin, RLUSD, on Ethereum and the XRP Ledger is consistent with this strategy. RLUSD has grown quickly in 2025, with its market cap rising to $317 million, but it still trails far behind Circle’s USDC, which boasts a market cap exceeding $62 billion and is issued across 19 blockchains.
Stablecoins—cryptocurrencies pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar—have become central to the crypto economy. They’re used for everything from trading and remittances to DeFi protocols and cross-border payments. As such, ownership of a dominant stablecoin platform offers a critical foothold in the broader digital asset infrastructure.
For Ripple, acquiring Circle would have provided a powerful shortcut to stablecoin dominance. Beyond simply growing its token footprint, the deal could have given Ripple access to Circle’s institutional network, regulatory goodwill, and technical infrastructure—all valuable assets as Congress debates landmark stablecoin regulation. While Ripple’s own RLUSD is gaining traction, it lacks USDC’s deep liquidity and institutional adoption.
This isn’t the first major deal in the stablecoin space. In October 2024, payments firm Stripe acquired Bridge, a stablecoin platform, for $1.1 billion—one of the largest crypto M&A deals to date. The Ripple-Circle talks, though unsuccessful, suggest that much larger transactions could be on the table as fintech and crypto firms position themselves ahead of coming legislation.
Lawmakers in Washington are working on frameworks to regulate stablecoins and digital asset markets. With increased clarity, more traditional financial players—like Bank of America or PayPal—could soon enter the space. That raises the stakes for crypto-native firms like Ripple and Circle, which are racing to cement their roles before regulations unlock the next wave of competition.
For small and micro-cap crypto investors, this event underscores the growing importance of strategic acquisitions in shaping the sector’s future. Ripple’s failed bid also suggests that Circle sees itself on a trajectory toward greater independence and valuation—particularly with a public listing on the horizon.
Whether or not a Ripple-Circle deal is revived, it’s clear the stablecoin wars are accelerating—and consolidation could define the next phase of the crypto market.

Key Points – Bitcoin has rallied nearly 20% in April, diverging from slumping tech stocks. – The cryptocurrency is trading more like gold amid geopolitical and economic uncertainty. – ETF inflows and technical levels suggest further upside momentum.
Bitcoin has staged a striking rally in April, jumping nearly 20% from its early-month lows and defying the broader risk-off sentiment that’s gripped traditional markets. As stocks slumped, particularly in tech, and the U.S. dollar weakened under pressure from geopolitical volatility and economic uncertainty, Bitcoin began to chart a different path — one that more closely mirrors gold than growth stocks.
The largest cryptocurrency surged to nearly $90,000 on Tuesday, its highest level since early March, in a move that’s reigniting hopes of a long-awaited decoupling from U.S. tech equities. For most of the past two years, Bitcoin has traded like a highly volatile cousin of the Nasdaq, rising and falling with investor appetite for risk. But as the market landscape shifts under the weight of aggressive tariffs, inflation worries, and political drama in Washington, Bitcoin’s narrative as a “digital store of value” is once again gaining traction.
The turning point appears to have been the fallout from President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff moves and his pointed attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. These developments rattled markets and sent investors scrambling for assets perceived to be safe havens. Gold rocketed past $3,500 an ounce — a record — while the dollar slid to a 15-month low. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s climb has started to mirror gold’s trajectory rather than tech’s slide.
Analysts see this shift as potentially foundational for the crypto space. Augustine Fan, a partner at crypto trading platform SignalPlus, noted that after a year of being labeled a “leveraged Nasdaq proxy,” Bitcoin is finally showing signs of reclaiming its original appeal as an alternative to fiat-based monetary systems. As questions mount over U.S. financial leadership and the credibility of the Fed’s independence, some investors are once again turning to decentralized assets as a hedge against systemic instability.
Adding to the momentum, U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs saw $381 million in inflows on Monday — their largest single-day intake since January. That marks a meaningful vote of confidence from institutional investors, who appear to be reallocating from traditional assets into Bitcoin in response to changing macro conditions.
Technical analysts also see room for continued upside. If Bitcoin can sustain levels above $88,800, several market watchers forecast a push toward the $92,000 to $94,000 range. For now, Bitcoin is benefiting from a rare combination of macro catalysts: weaker dollar, shaky central bank leadership, and increasing demand for liquid alternatives to traditional hedges.
For investors in small and micro-cap stocks, Bitcoin’s rise amid market turmoil may offer indirect encouragement. A shift in sentiment toward alternative assets often coincides with a renewed appetite for asymmetric opportunities — and the small-cap space typically sees a resurgence when investors move beyond large-cap safety plays in search of growth. If Bitcoin’s rally proves durable, it could signal a broader re-risking in pockets of the market not tethered to mega-cap tech.
Key Points: – GameStop’s board has approved Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, following speculation about the company’s interest in cryptocurrency. – The stock jumped nearly 13% in premarket trading after the announcement. – Analysts remain skeptical, comparing the move to MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy, but questioning its long-term impact on GameStop’s stock.
GameStop (NYSE: GME), the video game retailer-turned-meme stock, saw its shares surge nearly 13% in premarket trading on Wednesday after confirming plans to allocate a portion of its cash reserves to Bitcoin. The move signals yet another pivot for the company as it looks to redefine its business strategy and capture investor interest amid ongoing challenges in the retail gaming sector.
In a statement released Tuesday, GameStop announced that its board of directors unanimously approved an update to its investment policy, officially allowing the company to purchase and hold Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. This decision follows weeks of speculation, fueled in part by a cryptic social media post from GameStop Chairman Ryan Cohen in early February, featuring a meeting with MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, a well-known Bitcoin advocate.
GameStop’s announcement aligns it with MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), a company that has aggressively invested in Bitcoin as part of its corporate treasury strategy. MicroStrategy currently holds over 447,000 Bitcoin, a move that has significantly boosted its stock price during Bitcoin bull runs.
The decision to invest in Bitcoin represents a major strategic shift for GameStop, which has struggled to define a clear business model in recent years. Following its infamous Reddit-fueled short squeeze in 2021, GameStop has experimented with NFT marketplaces, digital asset wallets, and e-commerce expansions, but none have significantly altered its financial trajectory.
While Bitcoin has seen strong gains in 2024 and 2025, GameStop’s move raises questions about its long-term financial strategy. Unlike MicroStrategy, which transformed itself into a Bitcoin-centric company, GameStop remains primarily a retail business with declining revenue. The company’s fourth-quarter earnings report, also released Tuesday, revealed a 28% decline in net sales year-over-year, further emphasizing the financial struggles it faces.
Despite the stock’s rally, analysts remain divided on whether GameStop’s Bitcoin investment will provide meaningful value. Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter voiced concerns about the decision, noting that MicroStrategy trades at approximately twice the value of its Bitcoin holdings, meaning that even a full allocation of GameStop’s $4.6 billion cash reserves into Bitcoin may not provide the same level of stock appreciation.
Additionally, Bitcoin’s volatility presents a risk for GameStop, which is already navigating declining brick-and-mortar sales, shifting consumer preferences, and increased digital gaming competition. A sudden drop in Bitcoin’s price could negatively impact GameStop’s financial position, leaving it with fewer options to reinvest in its core business.
GameStop’s Bitcoin strategy will likely fuel speculation and volatility in its stock price, much like previous meme stock cycles. However, whether this move translates into long-term value remains uncertain. Investors will be watching closely to see how GameStop executes its Bitcoin investment plan and whether it adopts a broader digital asset strategy beyond cryptocurrency holdings.
For now, the announcement has given GameStop bulls a new reason to rally, but the company’s future remains uncertain as it bets on Bitcoin to help redefine its financial outlook.

ATLANTA, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot Inc.

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:
The following table presents a reconciliation of revenue to Adjusted Gross Profit for the periods indicated:
