Bitcoin ATM installations flatline as crypto winter bites

Quick Take

  • The number of Bitcoin ATMs globally has largely remained flat over the last six months.
  • While that’s mostly due to stagnation in the U.S. market, there’s some growth in other countries.

The growth of new bitcoin ATMs globally has essentially flatlined, with little progress since July 2022 — when bitcoin collapsed from all-time highs and fell as low as $23,000.

The number of bitcoin ATMs around the world is now 38,641, according to Coin ATM Rader. Although that’s up from 14,051 at the start of 2021, there has been little growth since the crypto market collapsed last year.
