Bitcoin ATM operator Bitcoin Depot files for bankruptcy, regulatory tightening and security vulnerabilities make it difficult to sustain operations
Deep Tide TechFlow News, May 18th, according to The Block, Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin ATM operator Bitcoin Depot (BTM) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the Southern District Court of Texas on the 18th, announcing an orderly liquidation and sale of assets. The company’s CEO Alex Holmes stated that increasingly strict compliance requirements, transaction limit restrictions, and operational bans in some regions have made the current business model unsustainable.
Previously, the company experienced a security breach in April 2026, resulting in a loss of $3.7 million; in the first quarter of 2026, revenue declined by 49.2% year-over-year, with a net loss of $9.5 million. Currently, all over 9,000 Bitcoin ATMs operated by Bitcoin Depot worldwide have been taken offline, and overseas entities such as Canada will also be closed.
