Over 1,400 new Bitcoin ATMs installed globally in 2025 - Finbold report

DUBAI — Despite Bitcoin's price declining over the course of 2025, the global Bitcoin ATM network continued to expand, with more than 1,400 new machines installed worldwide, according to Finbold's 2025 Cryptocurrency Market Report.

Data compiled by Finbold Research from Coin ATM Radar shows that the total number of Bitcoin ATMs increased from 37,722 at the start of 2025 to 39,158 by year-end, marking a 3.8% annual increase. On average, this equates to roughly four new Bitcoin ATMs installed per day globally throughout the year.

The United States remained the dominant market, adding 498 machines in 2025 to reach 30,617 ATMs, while Europe recorded a more modest expansion of 108 new installations, ending the year with 1,760 machines. Australia stood out among smaller markets, posting one of the strongest relative increases with over 600 new ATMs added during the year.

"Even in a year when Bitcoin's price struggled to sustain momentum, the continued growth of ATM infrastructure shows that access and utility are still expanding globally," said Diana Paluteder, Head of Content at Finbold. "This points to longer-term adoption trends that move independently of short-term price action."

Finbold analysts note that the 2025 increase came despite Bitcoin ending the year lower on a price basis, underscoring a divergence between market performance and physical infrastructure growth.

"The steady rollout of Bitcoin ATMs suggests that operators and service providers are positioning for future demand, not reacting to short-term volatility," said Jordan Major, Chief Editor at Finbold. "Infrastructure growth tends to lag price cycles, which makes 2025 particularly telling."

The findings highlight how Bitcoin's global footprint continued to widen in 2025, even as investor sentiment and prices cooled compared to prior years.
