The global network of Bitcoin ATMs expanded steadily throughout 2025, signaling continued demand for physical on-ramps into cryptocurrency despite market volatility, according to Finbold’s 2025 Cryptocurrency Market Report.
Data compiled by Finbold Research using figures from Coin ATM Radar shows that the total number of Bitcoin ATMs worldwide rose from 37,722 on January 1, 2025, to 39,158 by December 31, marking a net increase of 1,436, or approximately 3.8% year over year. On average, this translates to nearly four Bitcoin ATMs installed per day globally throughout 2025.
While the pace of expansion was more measured compared with earlier boom cycles, the net growth suggests that operators continued deploying infrastructure even as price action and sentiment fluctuated.
United States remains the dominant Bitcoin ATM market
The United States continued to host the vast majority of the world’s Bitcoin ATMs. Over the course of 2025, the number of U.S.-based machines increased from 30,119 to 30,617, adding 498 ATMs.
That represents a 1.65% annual increase, or roughly 1.4 new Bitcoin ATMs per day on average in the U.S. Although growth slowed relative to earlier years, the U.S. still accounted for the majority of global installations, underscoring its role as the primary hub for retail-facing crypto infrastructure.
Australia records the fastest growth among major regions
Among major regions, Australia recorded the fastest expansion. Bitcoin ATMs in the country rose from 1,385 to 1,986, adding 601 machines, equivalent to a 43% increase in 2025.
Canada also posted solid growth, with installations rising from 3,376 to 3,660, a gain of 284 ATMs, or about 8.4% year over year. Europe added 108 machines, bringing its total to 1,760, reflecting a more modest 6.5% increase.
While Europe’s growth lagged behind other regions in absolute terms, the increase suggests ongoing infrastructure buildout despite a more fragmented regulatory landscape.
Crypto ATM growth slows compared with 2024
The pace of expansion moderated compared with 2024. Finbold reported that in 2024 the global Bitcoin ATM network grew by 2,217 machines, averaging around six new ATMs installed per day worldwide and a 6.0% annual increase.
By contrast, 2025’s growth was slower in absolute and percentage terms, signaling a transition from aggressive expansion to more selective deployment as the market matures.
The global increase in Bitcoin ATMs during 2025 comes at a time when the cryptocurrency market has increasingly shifted toward regulated digital platforms and institutional products. However, the continued rollout of physical machines suggests that demand for cash-based and in-person access to Bitcoin remains resilient.
