“We are excited to partner with Bitcoin Depot to introduce BTM kiosks in Nouria stores, offering our guests exciting new opportunities to engage with cryptocurrency,” said Kristine Modugno, director of category management at Nouria. “We continuously strive to elevate our suite of products and services for guests, and Bitcoin Depot’s products exemplify a customer-centric approach that perfectly aligns with our operational mentality.”
BTMs are available for use in Circle K, GetGo, Jacksons and more convenience-store locations.
In November, Bitcoin Depot was named preferred vendor by the Asian American Trade Associations Council (AATAC), a national trade association of retailers, distributors, vendor suppliers and partners for the convenience store and retail industries. Bitcoin Depot has approximately 7,400 kiosk locations in North America.
Bitcoin Depot’s products and services provide a process for converting cash into Bitcoin. This allows users to access the broader digital financial system, including using Bitcoin to make payments, transfers, remittances, online purchases and investments.
“We are thrilled to join forces with Nouria, a respected leader in convenience retail, as we continue our ambitious growth journey throughout 2024,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO of Bitcoin Depot. “At Bitcoin Depot, it is our singular mission to provide unparalleled convenience and pioneering solutions to enhance crypto accessibility for our customers. That objective is made possible through synergistic collaboration with our network of like-minded retail partners, and we look forward to our partnership with Nouria in the months ahead.”
Bitcoin Depot has seen growth and expansion in 2024. In April, Bitcoin Depot announced a partnership with its first major grocery chain and purchased an additional 2,300 kiosks to meet increased retailer demand. The company also expanded into Australia and Puerto Rico and surpassed its goal of signing 8,000 BTM locations ahead of schedule.
Bitcoin Depot Inc. was founded in 2016 with the mission to connect those who prefer to use cash to the broader, digital financial system. Bitcoin Depot provides its users with a means of converting cash into Bitcoin, which users can deploy in the payments, spending and investing space. Users can convert cash to Bitcoin at Bitcoin Depot kiosks in 48 states and at thousands of retail locations in 29 states through its BDCheckout product.
