America’s Bitcoin ATM operator, built and run in-house.

Buy and sell Bitcoin with cash at 1,350+ kiosks across 42+ U.S. states.

Built in America. On the Bitcoin standard.

Origin · 2016

It started with one ATM.

A small team in Florida, a single machine, and a thesis: cash shouldn’t depend on overseas exchanges to reach Bitcoin.

Vertical Integration

We don’t rent. We build.

Our own kiosks. Our own software. Our own compliance program. Our own U.S. support line. One accountable point of contact — and the reason it works.
