Crypto<\/span> ATM Data 2026: 597 Net Removals<\/h2>\n

Recent figures<\/a> show the global count of crypto<\/span> ATMs edged close to the 40,000 mark this month, yet data recorded on March 29, 2026, reveals a net reduction of 769 machines. The year opened with a drop of 139 crypto<\/span> ATMs, followed by the addition of 231 new installations in February.<\/p>\n

An additional 80 units were installed at the beginning of March, according to Coin ATM Radar\u2019s net growth logs<\/a>, though the removal of 769 machines ultimately pushed the year\u2019s total to a net loss of 597. As of this weekend, the global tally of crypto<\/span> ATMs sits at 38,928 machines. Geographic data<\/a> from Coin ATM Radar shows the U.S. holds 30,247 of those units, representing 77.7% of the total.<\/p>\n

Canada<\/a> follows with 3,839 crypto<\/span> ATMs, accounting for 9.9% of the worldwide figure. Europe maintains 1,727 machines, or roughly 4.4% of the overall count of 38,928. Taken together, the U.S., Europe, and Canada host 35,813 machines, comprising 92% of the global share. The remaining 8% is distributed across Asia, Oceania, and other regions.<\/p>\n

The crypto<\/span> ATM tracking site further indicates that the top ten global operators<\/a> collectively oversee 30,450 machines, representing 78.2% of the total. The industry\u2019s leading provider is Bitcoin<\/span> Depot, which runs a commanding 9,246 machines (23.8% market share). It is followed by Coinflip with 5,493 machines (14.1%) and Athena Bitcoin<\/span> with 4,045 machines (10.4%).<\/p>\n

Rockitcoin holds a solid footprint with 2,757 machines (7.1%), while Bitstop and Margo operate 2,372 (6.1%) and 2,138 (5.5%) machines, respectively. Stats<\/a> further show that bitcoin<\/span> ( BTC<\/span>) remains the most widely supported asset, available across nearly all machines tracked worldwide by Coin ATM Radar.<\/p>\n

Following bitcoin<\/span>, altcoins<\/span> as a collective category are supported by 38,910 machines, suggesting that nearly every ATM offering bitcoin<\/span> also includes at least one alternative asset. Among individual altcoins<\/span>, ethereum<\/a> ( ETH<\/span>) leads with support at 22,200 locations, closely followed by litecoin ( LTC<\/span>) at 21,292 and tether ( USDT<\/span>) at 19,894.<\/p>\n

Roughly 91.6%<\/a> of crypto<\/a> ATMs are configured to facilitate cryptocurrency<\/span> purchases, while the remaining machines support both buying and selling of digital assets. Logs from Coin ATM Radar offer a revealing snapshot of recent crypto<\/span> ATM reductions in 2026, showing that the 40,000 threshold remains just out of reach for the industry at present.<\/p>\n

Whether the crypto ATM<\/a> count clears 40,000 this year depends largely on whether operators expand or continue pulling machines. The numbers show a market sorting itself out; large providers like Bitcoin<\/span> Depot, Coinflip, and Athena hold the majority of installations, while smaller operators account for the gap. With North America controlling over three-quarters of the global count, the industry\u2019s direction remains tied closely to conditions in a single market.<\/p>\n
