ATLANTA, Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced its entrance into the Asian market with its expansion into Hong Kong. This move highlights Bitcoin Depot’s accelerating global momentum and strategic focus on expanding into markets where cash-to-crypto access is in high demand.

Hong Kong has rapidly emerged as one of the most watched crypto markets in the world, serving as a key financial hub with growing institutional and retail interest in digital assets. With this launch, Bitcoin Depot will become one of the top five operators in the region.

“Hong Kong is quickly becoming a global center for crypto, with the right mix of regulation, demand, and momentum,” said Scott Buchanan, President & COO of Bitcoin Depot. “What we do best is make Bitcoin easy and accessible in the real world, directly addressing the demand we see in the Hong Kong market. Expanding here is a clear step forward as we continue our mission of bringing Bitcoin to the Masses.®”

This expansion into Hong Kong builds on Bitcoin Depot’s strong operational momentum and growth throughout 2025. It follows the recent retail partnership with GPM Investments, the asset acquisition of National Bitcoin ATM, and the successful rollout of enhancements to its compliance program in October.

Since becoming the first U.S. Bitcoin ATM operator to go public in July 2023, the company has steadily expanded its footprint across North America and Australia, highlighting its ability to scale while maintaining profitability.

Bitcoin Depot’s products and services provide an intuitive, fast, and convenient way to convert cash into Bitcoin. This allows users to access the broader digital financial system, including payments, transfers, remittances, online purchases, and investments.
