Finding a reliable and convenient way to buy Bitcoin with cash has never been easier. With the rise of digital currency adoption, Bitcoin ATMs have become a go-to solution for beginners and experienced users alike. Our Bitcoin ATM locator is designed to help you quickly find the nearest machine and complete your transaction with confidence.
Whether you're new to crypto or looking for a fast way to add Bitcoin to your portfolio, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know—from how the locator works to what you’ll need for your first purchase.
How Our Bitcoin ATM Locator Works
At its core, our Bitcoin ATM locator is a smart, user-friendly tool that uses real-time data and geolocation technology to connect you with the closest Bitcoin Depot machine. Simply put, it removes the guesswork from finding a trusted place to buy Bitcoin.
When you access the locator—either through our website or mobile app—it detects your current location using GPS (on mobile) or IP address (on desktop). You can also manually enter an address or ZIP code for more precise results.
Once the system processes your location, it displays a map with all nearby Bitcoin ATMs operated by Bitcoin Depot. Each listing includes:
- Exact address and map pin
- Operating hours
- Available services (like BDCheckout™)
- Walking or driving directions
This level of detail ensures you can make informed decisions quickly, especially if you're in a hurry or unfamiliar with the area.
By leveraging up-to-date data, the locator guarantees accuracy and helps streamline your buying experience. Whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go, getting access to Bitcoin is just a few taps away.

Prefer browsing on your computer? No problem.
- Go to the Bitcoin ATM locator page

What to Bring When Using a Bitcoin ATM
Before heading out, it’s important to know what documents and tools you’ll need for a smooth transaction.
1. Cash
Most Bitcoin ATMs only accept cash payments, typically in U.S. dollars. Make sure to bring enough bills in the denomination accepted by the machine (many support $5–$100 bills).
2. A Digital Wallet
You’ll need a Bitcoin wallet to receive your coins. While some ATMs print paper wallets, using a digital one gives you better security and control.
If you're using the Bitcoin Depot app, you already have a built-in wallet—just scan the QR code during checkout.
3. Identification (Depending on Amount)
Due to KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations, identity verification may be required based on how much Bitcoin you're buying:
- Under $900: Usually no ID needed
- Over $900: May require phone number, photo ID, or SSN
These rules help ensure compliance with financial regulations and protect against fraud.
For more details on limits and requirements, refer to our guide on KYC policies.
The Growth of the Bitcoin ATM Industry
The rapid expansion of Bitcoin ATMs reflects growing mainstream interest in cryptocurrency.
Back in 2016, there were only about 600 Bitcoin ATMs worldwide. Fast forward to today—and that number has exploded to over 37,000 machines globally.
Bitcoin Depot alone operates more than 8,400 locations across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico—a testament to both accessibility and demand.
This growth means more people than ever can now convert cash into Bitcoin without needing a bank account or complex exchange setup. And as adoption continues, expect even wider coverage and enhanced features in the coming years.
