Largest U.S. Crypto ATM Firm Reports No Impact on Revenues Despite Bitcoin Price Volatility

cryptonews.com:

Bitcoin Depot, the largest Bitcoin ATM operator in the United States, has reported robust revenues despite the highly volatile nature of cryptocurrency prices.

In its recently filed 10-K annual report on April 15, the company revealed that its revenues in 2023 and 2022 amounted to $689 million and $647 million, respectively, showing no significant correlation with Bitcoin’s price fluctuations.

Despite cryptocurrency prices’ rollercoaster ride, Bitcoin Depot has weathered the storm with no significant impact on its revenues. Even during extreme volatility in Bitcoin prices, Bitcoin Depot’s revenues remained steady and unaffected. For instance, while Bitcoin soared by 155% in 2023, the company’s year-over-year revenue growth was a modest 6%, showcasing its resilience to market turbulence.

This resilience stems from Bitcoin Depot’s strategic approach to its services, which are predominantly used for non-speculative purposes such as money transfers, international remittances, and online purchases, as indicated by user surveys conducted by the company. Unlike some entities heavily involved in cryptocurrency trading or mining, Bitcoin Depot maintains a relatively low balance of Bitcoin, typically less than $0.8 million, at any given time.

Furthermore, Bitcoin Depot has taken proactive steps to minimize its exposure to Bitcoin’s volatility by maintaining a relatively low balance of Bitcoin, typically less than $1 million. The company’s strategy involves purchasing Bitcoin through reputable liquidity providers like Cumberland DRW or Abra rather than engaging in mining activities.
