Bitcoin ATM surge in US: October 2025 adoption momentum

On Oct 31, 2025, Finbold Research using CoinATMRadar reported that the global Bitcoin ATM network reached its highest level since December 2022.

How many machines are in the global Bitcoin ATM count?

Finbold’s analysis records an estimated 39,586 active Bitcoin ATMs across the globe at the end of October 2025. That is the highest level since December 2022, when the network peaked at 39,989 Bitcoin ATMs. October 2025 produced a net gain of 422 new Bitcoin ATMs, following 80 new Bitcoin ATMs in September 2025 — a month-on-month increase of 427.5%.

Year-to-date totals rose from 37,643 at the end of 2024 to 39,586 by late October 2025, representing 1,943 new ATMs in 2025. In brief, the network climbed back toward the December 2022 high driven by strong October additions and steady year-to-date deployment.

What does the Bitcoin ATM installations surge reveal about regional adoption?

North America accounts for over 83% of global installations. The CoinATMRadar dataset underlying Finbold’s report shows the US added 360 new ATMs in October 2025, taking its total to 31,037, while Canada installed 44 ATMs. Europe added 8 new ATMs in October, for a total of 1,769, and Australia increased by 33 ATMs.

How will operator activity shape the Bitcoin ATM operator outlook and regional adoption?

Operators continue to prioritise high-footfall retail and convenience-store partnerships, which helps explain concentrated density in established markets and gradual rollouts in regions such as Latin America and Southeast Asia. Finbold notes that “there were an estimated 39,586 active Bitcoin ATMs across the globe,” reflecting both new placements and replacement cycles.

Note: total installations could surpass 40,000 before year-end 2025, though the exact timing will depend on operator activity, compliance frameworks and local uptake.
