Leading Bitcoin Kiosk Provider Anticipates Reaching 2024 Year-End Goal Early, Reinforcing Market Share and Growth Trajectory

ATLANTA, April 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitcoin Depot Inc. ("Bitcoin Depot" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM ("BTM") operator and leading fintech company, today announced it is set to surpass its ambitious goal of deploying 8,000 Bitcoin ATMs a few months ahead of schedule, having already secured contracts for over 8,000 locations. The achievement solidifies the Company's previously announced objective of having the largest installed fleet of BTMs in its history. Now, with over 8,000 locations signed, Bitcoin Depot just needs to install enough incremental Bitcoin ATMs to reach the previously announced goal of 8,000. In January and February of 2024 Bitcoin Depot signed over 1,600 total new locations to receive its Bitcoin ATMs.

This achievement follows a series of strategic initiatives for the Company in the first quarter of 2024 and underscores Bitcoin Depot's continued momentum. Notably, since the start of the year, the Company has expanded its operations into Puerto Rico, continued expansion of its franchise program, solidified its commitment to purchasing 900 new kiosks to grow its footprint, and forged a deployment partnership with a major convenience store retailer, paving the way for 940 new kiosk locations across 24 states.

"This milestone showcases our team's successful sales capabilities and reaffirms our status as the leading provider of Bitcoin accessibility throughout North America," remarked Brandon Mintz, Founder and CEO of Bitcoin Depot. "As pioneers in this field, our commitment is to offer outstanding service and convenience, enabling our customers to effortlessly explore the digital financial ecosystem."

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.

In early 2022, Bitcoin Depot took over the #1 market share position to become the largest BTM operator in North America. In 2023, despite recent market shifts and ongoing turbulence in the crypto currency market, the Company became the first BTM operator to go public on a major U.S. stock exchange. Bitcoin Depot and its leadership have since been recognized and celebrated for the Company's industry-leading growth in Forbes 30 Under 30, Deloitte's 2023 Technology Fast 500, and, most recently, the 2023 Inc. 5000.
