Bitcoin Depot Strengthens Retail Footprint
ATLANTA — Fintech company Bitcoin Depot Inc. entered into separate retail partnerships with two large convenience retailers, one of which includes an extensive international network of locations across a portfolio of many brands.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, the company will install roughly 940 Bitcoin Depot kiosks (BTMs) in convenience store locations of one of the retailers across 24 states, part of an initial rollout and initiative that provides the opportunity to grow into additional stores beyond the initial 940.

Sixty-three additional BTMs will be installed in the second retailer's locations across multiple metropolitan areas. This particular expansion should allow customers to purchase Bitcoin in easy and accessible c-store locations across the South where a variety of additional amenities are available.
The deal will also provide access to additional Bitcoin Depot kiosks in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, Mississippi, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
Bitcoin Depot believes both partnerships will augment its comprehensive growth plan, which focuses on increasing its BTM network and continuing to build a robust pipeline of major regional and national retail partners.
"This expansion aligns with our commitment to bringing Bitcoin to the masses," said Bitcoin Depot CEO Brandon Mintz. "Our goal is to bring easy and convenient crypto access to a plethora of communities while creating unmatched value for our retail partners and welcoming new customers."
