Crypto ATM Data 2026: 597 Net Removals
Recent figures show the global count of crypto 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 ATMs, followed by the addition of 231 new installations in February.
An additional 80 units were installed at the beginning of March, according to Coin ATM Radar’s net growth logs, though the removal of 769 machines ultimately pushed the year’s total to a net loss of 597. As of this weekend, the global tally of crypto ATMs sits at 38,928 machines. Geographic data from Coin ATM Radar shows the U.S. holds 30,247 of those units, representing 77.7% of the total.

Canada follows with 3,839 crypto 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.
The crypto ATM tracking site further indicates that the top ten global operators collectively oversee 30,450 machines, representing 78.2% of the total. The industry’s leading provider is Bitcoin 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 with 4,045 machines (10.4%).
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 further show that bitcoin ( BTC) remains the most widely supported asset, available across nearly all machines tracked worldwide by Coin ATM Radar.
Following bitcoin, altcoins as a collective category are supported by 38,910 machines, suggesting that nearly every ATM offering bitcoin also includes at least one alternative asset. Among individual altcoins, ethereum ( ETH) leads with support at 22,200 locations, closely followed by litecoin ( LTC) at 21,292 and tether ( USDT) at 19,894.
Roughly 91.6% of crypto ATMs are configured to facilitate cryptocurrency 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 ATM reductions in 2026, showing that the 40,000 threshold remains just out of reach for the industry at present.

Whether the crypto ATM 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 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’s direction remains tied closely to conditions in a single market.
