Bitcoin ATM Near Me

Q: Where is the nearest Bitcoin ATM to me?

Use the map on this page or coinatmradar.com for the most comprehensive global listing. Enter your ZIP code or address to see nearby operators, machine direction (buy, sell, or both), supported currencies, and typical hours.

Q: How much do Bitcoin ATMs charge in fees?

Typical fees are 8% to 15% on the buy side and 6% to 12% on the sell side, plus a 1% to 3% exchange-rate margin on top. Some kiosks are as low as 4%, others as high as 20%. Online exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini) charge much less (0.5% to 2%) but require a linked bank account.

Q: Are Bitcoin ATMs open 24/7?

The kiosk typically operates 24 hours, but the host business's hours determine when you can physically access it. Kiosks inside 24-hour convenience stores or laundromats are usually available around the clock; kiosks inside stores that close at night follow store hours.

Q: Are Bitcoin ATMs safe?

The kiosks themselves are technically safe. The bigger risk is scams. Never send Bitcoin from an ATM to someone who called or messaged you claiming to be the IRS, police, a utility company, tech support, a family member in distress, or a romantic interest. No legitimate business or agency asks for payment by Bitcoin ATM.

Q: What Bitcoin wallet should I use with a Bitcoin ATM?

Any Bitcoin-compatible wallet works. Popular U.S. choices include Coinbase Wallet, Cash App, Blue Wallet, Trust Wallet, Muun, and for larger holdings a hardware wallet such as Ledger or Trezor. Have your BTC receive address ready as a QR code on your phone before starting the ATM transaction.

Bitcoin ATMs (also called BTMs) are cash kiosks that let you buy or sell Bitcoin (and often other cryptocurrencies) with physical cash. Despite the name, they are not bank ATMs: they do not connect to your bank account and are not operated by banks. They are stand-alone machines placed inside convenience stores, gas stations, laundromats, and grocery stores by private Bitcoin ATM operators such as Bitcoin Depot, CoinFlip, National Bitcoin ATM, Athena Bitcoin, RockItCoin, Bitcoin of America, and Byte Federal. This page shows how to find the closest Bitcoin ATM, typical fees (5% to 15%), how buying and selling work, ID and daily limits, and important safety warnings about Bitcoin ATM scams.

How to buy Bitcoin at an ATM

Find a machine that sells Bitcoin. Not every kiosk sells; use CoinATMRadar and filter for “Buy” direction.
Prepare your Bitcoin wallet. Open your wallet app (Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, Blue Wallet, MetaMask, Cash App, or a hardware wallet like Ledger). Have your BTC receive address ready as a QR code or a copy-and-paste string.
Verify your identity. Enter your phone number for SMS verification; for amounts over $500 to $1,000 you will scan a government-issued ID and, for larger amounts, take a selfie for biometric matching. Requirements vary by operator and by U.S. state.
Scan your wallet QR code. The ATM camera reads your receive address. Verify it on the screen matches your wallet.
Insert cash. Feed bills into the note reader. Most Bitcoin ATMs accept $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 notes; a few only accept $20 and higher.
Confirm the transaction. Review the amount of Bitcoin you will receive after fees. Confirm on the screen.
Receive your Bitcoin. The kiosk broadcasts the transaction. Bitcoin usually arrives in your wallet within 10 to 60 minutes (one to six network confirmations). Keep the printed receipt.

How to sell Bitcoin for cash at an ATM

Find a machine that sells cash (Bitcoin sell direction). Only about half of Bitcoin ATMs support selling; filter for “Sell” on CoinATMRadar.
Verify your identity. Selling almost always requires SMS + ID verification because the operator is dispensing cash.
Enter the amount of cash you want. The kiosk displays the BTC amount you need to send.
Send BTC from your wallet. The kiosk shows a QR code with its deposit address. Scan and send the exact BTC amount from your wallet with a normal miner fee.
Wait for network confirmations. Most kiosks require one to three network confirmations (usually 10 to 30 minutes) before dispensing cash. Some operators use a redemption code you can enter on a return visit.
Collect your cash. The kiosk dispenses U.S. bills. Take the receipt for tax records.

Bitcoin ATM fees

Bitcoin ATM fees are meaningfully higher than online exchange fees because the operator pays for the machine, cash handling, retail rent, and compliance overhead. Typical fee structure:

Bitcoin Depot, CoinFlip, Coinhub, Athena, RockItCoin, Byte Federal: 8% to 15% on the buy side (cash to BTC), 6% to 12% on the sell side (BTC to cash)
Local operators and mall kiosks: Can range from 4% (rare) to 20% (worst)
Exchange rate margin: On top of the fee, the kiosk uses a slightly worse BTC price than the online market. The “effective fee” is often 1% to 3% higher than the displayed fee percentage.

If fees matter, the cheapest way to buy or sell Bitcoin is an online exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, Cash App) linked to your bank account, where fees are typically 0.5% to 2%. Use a Bitcoin ATM when you need speed, cash-in privacy (for smaller amounts), or you do not have a bank account or verified exchange account.

ID verification and daily limits

All U.S. Bitcoin ATM operators are registered as Money Services Businesses with FinCEN (the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) and must comply with anti-money-laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) rules. Verification tiers vary by operator, but a typical U.S. structure is:

Tier 1 (basic): Phone number verification via SMS. Limits usually $250 to $1,000 per day.
Tier 2 (ID): Scan of a driver’s license or state ID. Limits usually $2,500 to $10,000 per day.
Tier 3 (enhanced): ID plus selfie biometric verification. Limits up to $25,000 per day at some operators.

Some states (New York, Connecticut, California, Vermont) apply stricter licensing and lower limits. Some operators no longer serve certain states.

Where to find Bitcoin ATMs: host retailers

Bitcoin ATMs are typically inside retail businesses that lease floor space to the operator. Common host chains include:

Convenience stores: 7-Eleven (select stores; not company-wide), Circle K, Speedway, Sheetz (some), Wawa (select), Toot ‘n Totum (Texas panhandle), Sunoco (some)
Gas stations: Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Marathon, BP (select locations, not chain-wide)
Grocery and drug stores: Kroger family (some), Ralphs, Winn-Dixie (some), select Rite Aid
Laundromats and check-cashing stores: Very common host category for kiosks in urban areas
Bars, restaurants, tobacco shops, vape shops, and pawn shops: Common in some markets
Walmart: Some Walmart stores host a Bitcoin ATM (Coinstar Bitcoin machines inside Coinstar kiosks).
Coinstar kiosks: Select Coinstar coin-counting machines at supermarkets also sell Bitcoin (Coinme partnership).

Bitcoin ATMs vs. bank ATMs (they are not the same)

Bank ATMs and Bitcoin ATMs are completely separate. Bank ATMs dispense cash from your checking or savings account after you insert your debit card and enter your PIN. Bitcoin ATMs do not connect to any bank account: they only exchange physical cash for Bitcoin (or vice versa) via your Bitcoin wallet.

No major U.S. bank (Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, Citibank, PNC, U.S. Bank, M&T, or any other) operates Bitcoin ATMs at its branches, and Chime and Zelle do not sell Bitcoin either. To buy Bitcoin with a bank account, use an online exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini) linked to your bank via ACH, or use a cash-app service (Cash App, PayPal). To use physical cash, use a Bitcoin ATM as described on this page.

Bitcoin ATM safety and scam warnings

The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and the FTC have warned repeatedly about Bitcoin ATM scams, which have exploded in recent years. The most common scams:

Government impersonation: A caller claims to be from the IRS, Social Security Administration, or law enforcement and says you owe money, have a warrant, or your Social Security number is compromised. They direct you to a Bitcoin ATM to “pay” or “protect your assets.” No U.S. government agency ever asks for Bitcoin.
Tech support scams: A pop-up on your computer says you have a virus. The “technician” directs you to a Bitcoin ATM to pay for the “fix.”
Romance and grandparent scams: A love interest online, or a caller claiming to be your grandchild in trouble, asks you to send Bitcoin from an ATM.
Employment / secret shopper scams: You are “hired” to test a Bitcoin ATM by depositing a check and sending the funds via Bitcoin. The check bounces later.

Rules to protect yourself: (1) No legitimate business, government agency, utility, or family member will ever ask you to pay by Bitcoin ATM. (2) Never share your wallet QR code with someone who called or messaged you. (3) If you are being pressured to deposit cash quickly, walk away and call the FBI or FTC. (4) If you or a relative sent cash to a Bitcoin ATM under pressure in the last 24 hours, contact the ATM operator’s fraud line immediately; some operators can freeze transactions that have not yet cleared the blockchain.

Bitcoin ATMs internationally

Outside the United States, Bitcoin ATMs are widely available in Canada (Localcoin, Bitcoin Well, Coin Cloud successor networks), the United Kingdom (Byte Federal UK, Bitcoin ATM UK operators; note: FCA regulation of crypto ATMs is strict and many U.K. locations closed 2023 to 2024), Spain, Portugal, Poland, Australia, and several Latin American countries. Use CoinATMRadar with the country selector.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the nearest Bitcoin ATM to me?

Use the map above or CoinATMRadar for the most comprehensive global listing. Enter your ZIP code or address to see nearby operators, machine direction (buy, sell, or both), supported currencies, and typical hours.

Can I buy Bitcoin at any bank ATM?

No. Bank ATMs from Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, Citibank, PNC, U.S. Bank, M&T, or any other major U.S. bank do not sell Bitcoin. Bitcoin ATMs are separate machines operated by private companies (Bitcoin Depot, CoinFlip, Athena, RockItCoin, and others), typically inside convenience stores or gas stations.

Can I use my Chime, Cash App, or bank card at a Bitcoin ATM?

Not directly. Bitcoin ATMs almost exclusively accept physical cash, not debit or credit cards. If you want to buy Bitcoin with a Chime, Cash App, or bank card, use the Cash App or Coinbase mobile app to buy Bitcoin directly with your linked account; do not go to a Bitcoin ATM.

How much do Bitcoin ATMs charge in fees?

Typical fees run 8% to 15% on the buy side and 6% to 12% on the sell side. Some kiosks are as low as 4%, others as high as 20%. The exchange rate margin on top of the displayed fee usually adds another 1% to 3%. Online exchanges such as Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini charge much less (0.5% to 2%) but require a linked bank account.

Do Bitcoin ATMs require ID?

Small transactions (typically under $250 to $1,000) may only require phone-number SMS verification. Larger transactions require a scan of a government-issued ID, and the largest tier often requires a selfie biometric check. All U.S. Bitcoin ATM operators are registered Money Services Businesses under FinCEN AML/KYC rules.

Are Bitcoin ATMs open 24/7?

The kiosk itself typically operates 24 hours a day, but the host business’s hours determine when you can physically access it. Kiosks inside 24-hour convenience stores or laundromats are usually available around the clock; kiosks inside stores that close at night follow store hours.

What is the difference between buying Bitcoin at an ATM and on an exchange?

ATM: physical cash, instant delivery, high fees (8% to 15%), moderate privacy up to the ID limit, no bank account required. Exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, Cash App): linked bank account, low fees (0.5% to 2%), account and KYC required, funds may take 1 to 5 days to settle from a bank transfer.

Are Bitcoin ATMs safe?

The kiosks themselves are technically safe: the Bitcoin transfer happens on the Bitcoin blockchain and cannot be reversed by the operator. The bigger risk is scams. Never send Bitcoin from an ATM to someone who called or messaged you claiming to be the IRS, a police officer, a utility company, a tech support representative, a family member in distress, or a romantic interest. No legitimate business or agency asks for payment by Bitcoin ATM.

How many Bitcoin ATMs are there?

Approximately 40,000 Bitcoin ATMs worldwide, with roughly 30,000 in the United States. The exact count shifts as operators install or remove machines; the CoinATMRadar dashboard shows current numbers by country and by operator.

What Bitcoin wallet should I use with a Bitcoin ATM?

Any Bitcoin-compatible wallet works. Popular choices for U.S. users include Coinbase Wallet, Cash App, Blue Wallet, Trust Wallet, Muun, and for larger holdings a hardware wallet such as Ledger or Trezor. Have your BTC receive address ready as a QR code on your phone before starting the ATM transaction.

Can I sell Bitcoin for cash at any Bitcoin ATM?

No. Only about half of Bitcoin ATMs support the sell (BTC to cash) direction, because operators must keep cash in the machine and comply with cash-out reporting requirements. Filter for “Sell” or “Two-way” on CoinATMRadar.
