Analysis

OVERVIEW

Bitcoin Depot operates over 15,000 listed cash Bitcoin ATM locations across the US and Canada with buy and sell service.

LIMITS

Every use requires phone verification and email, larger purchases may require photo ID, and the privacy notice lists biometric and SSN-related data collection under FinCEN/FINTRAC registration, alongside a 15% transaction fee.

USEFUL FOR

Cash-to-Bitcoin purchases at a physical machine for users who accept phone, email and potentially photo-ID verification.

Ownership chain

Who owns the operator, read from the public register. Each step says what kind of evidence it rests on: a registry record can be checked, a company statement cannot.

The chain stops here because the register stops, not because the top was reached. Swiss and Swedish companies do not publish their shareholders, and a Czech joint-stock company does not list its own. Nothing above the last step should be assumed either way.

WHAT IT USED TO BE
  • GSR II Meteora Acquisition Corp.renamed 2023-06-30REGULATORY FILING

    The blank-cheque acquisition company that Bitcoin Depot went public through. EDGAR carries the name change against the same CIK, so the filer is continuous.

  • GLA II Meteora Acquisition Corp.renamed 2022-01-03REGULATORY FILING

    Held for a single day at registration before the GSR name was adopted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is identity verification required?

The recorded KYC level is "full". Required photo ID on every kiosk transaction from a phased rollout beginning 24 February 2026, up from ID on larger purchases only. The network went offline on 18 May 2026 with the Chapter 11 filing, so no current verification surface exists to check.

Which payment methods are accepted?

Accepted payment methods: atm.

Where is it available?

Recorded availability: US, CA.

Is the operator based in a Five Eyes country?

Yes. The recorded jurisdiction is US, a Five Eyes country (US, UK, CA, AU, NZ). This is jurisdiction context and does not by itself establish that a service is safer or less safe.

How are identity, operator, and evidence fields reported?

Identity exposure is level 4 of 4. A hosted operator is recorded. Jurisdiction is shown as context, not a safety verdict. Evidence confidence is 100/100 and recorded risk is caution.
