Crypto ATM Data 2026: 597 Net Removals
Recent figures reveal that the global count of crypto ATMs is nearing the significant milestone of 40,000 machines. However, data from March 29, 2026, indicates a net reduction of 769 ATMs, marking a challenging start to the year for the industry. The year kicked off with a decrease of 139 machines in January, countered by a modest increase of 231 installations in February.
March saw the addition of another 80 machines as logged by Coin ATM Radar’s net growth logs. Unfortunately, the cumulative removal of 769 machines pushed the year’s total to a net loss of 597, bringing the current global tally to 38,928 machines.
Canada ranks second with 3,839 crypto ATMs, corresponding to 9.9% of the worldwide total. Europe follows behind with 1,727 machines, accounting for roughly 4.4%. Together, the U.S., Canada, and Europe host 35,813 machines, comprising an impressive 92% of the global share, highlighting the concentration of crypto ATMs in these regions.
Looking further into the landscape, Coin ATM Radar reveals that the top ten global operators are responsible for managing 30,450 machines, which translates to 78.2% of the market. Leading the pack is Bitcoin Depot, operating a formidable 9,246 machines, securing a 23.8% market share. Coinflip trails with 5,493 machines (14.1%), while Athena Bitcoin manages 4,045 machines (10.4%).
Other significant players include Rockitcoin with 2,757 machines (7.1%), alongside Bitstop and Margo, operating 2,372 (6.1%) and 2,138 (5.5%) machines, respectively. These statistics reflect a market dominated by a few key providers, with smaller operators filling in the gaps.
On the cryptocurrency front, stats indicate that bitcoin (BTC) is the predominant asset available, with nearly all tracked machines offering it. Following bitcoin, altcoins are supported by 38,910 machines, implying that nearly all ATMs facilitating bitcoin also provide options for at least one alternative crypto asset. Notably, ethereum (ETH) takes the lead among individual altcoins with supporting presence at 22,200 locations; it’s closely followed by litecoin (LTC) at 21,292 and tether (USDT) at 19,894.
It is further noteworthy that approximately 91.6% of crypto ATMs are primarily configured for cryptocurrency purchases, while the remaining machines allow for both buying and selling of digital assets. Coin ATM Radar’s logs provide an insightful glance into the recent trends and challenges faced by crypto ATMs in 2026, demonstrating that while the industry is growing, it remains far from reaching the 40,000 mark.
The path ahead for the crypto ATM sector is contingent upon whether operators choose to expand their services further or continue the trend of decommissioning machines. The current statistics depict a market refining itself; dominant players like Bitcoin Depot, Coinflip, and Athena hold the majority of installations, emphasizing the reliance of the industry on a few large operators. With over three-quarters of the global count situated in North America, the fate of the industry appears tightly interwoven with conditions in this single market.
