The first half of 2025 witnessed a significant expansion in the global Bitcoin ATM infrastructure, with more than 1,000 new machines deployed worldwide. This growth, highlighted in the Finbold H1 2025 Cryptocurrency Market Report, indicates a sustained momentum in crypto adoption and accessibility, despite varying regional performance.
From January 1st to June 30th, 2025, the total number of crypto ATMs increased from 37,722 to 38,726, representing a net addition of 1,004 machines.
United States Rebounds Strongly in Q2
The United States, a dominant player in the crypto ATM landscape, experienced a notable recovery after a sluggish start to the year. In Q1 2025, the U.S. saw a net decline of 185 Bitcoin ATMs, with the count dropping from 30,119 to 29,934. However, the trend sharply reversed in Q2, as the U.S. added a robust 513 new ATMs, pushing its total to 30,447 by the end of June. This rebound aligns with a broader bullish sentiment in the American market, reportedly driven by improving regulatory clarity and increasing institutional participation in the crypto space.
Australia Leads in Relative Growth
Australia emerged as the top performer in terms of relative growth, adding an impressive 491 new ATMs in the first half of the year. This includes 272 additions in Q1 and an additional 219 in Q2. The country’s total ATM count surged from 1,385 to 1,876, reflecting a growing embrace of retail crypto adoption and favorable fintech conditions within the region.
Canada also contributed significantly to the global increase, installing a total of 245 ATMs in H1, split almost evenly between Q1 (122 new ATMs) and Q2 (123 new ATMs). Meanwhile, Europe demonstrated a more modest but consistent expansion, adding 86 ATMs in Q1 and 63 in Q2, culminating in a total H1 gain of 149 machines.
The sustained growth in the global Bitcoin ATM network underscores the ongoing efforts to make cryptocurrencies more accessible to the general public, contributing to wider adoption and integration into everyday financial activities.
