This data, meticulously curated by Finbold Research and sourced from CoinATMRadar, highlights a renewed momentum in the deployment of these ATMs, signaling a resurgence in crypto infrastructure growth.
Record Highs in Bitcoin ATM Installations
As of the close of October 2025, the number of active Bitcoin ATMs around the globe stood at approximately 39,586. This impressive figure denotes the strongest total in nearly three years, slightly trailing the December 2022 peak of 39,989.

Surge in Crypto ATM Installations
The month of October 2025 witnessed a remarkable surge in Bitcoin ATM installations, recording a net increase of 422 new machines. This represents a staggering 427.5% jump from the mere 80 installations in September. On a year-to-date basis, the total count of Bitcoin ATMs rose from 37,643 at the end of 2024 to 39,586 by late October 2025, marking a 5.2% expansion in global deployment with an addition of 1,943 new ATMs.
Dominance of North America in Global Distribution
North America continues to lead the global distribution of crypto ATMs, accounting for over 83% of installations worldwide. Within this region, the United States made substantial progress by adding 360 new ATMs in October, bringing its total to 31,037 machines. Canada, maintaining one of the highest ATMs-per-capita ratios globally, installed 44 new ATMs.
In contrast, Europe’s growth in this domain remains modest, with only eight new ATMs added across EU member states in October, totaling 1,769. Meanwhile, Australia experienced a consistent increase, adding 33 new ATMs, indicative of steady adoption in the Asia-Pacific market.
Emerging Markets and Future Projections
While Bitcoin’s physical infrastructure continues to be heavily concentrated in Western markets, emerging regions such as Latin America and Southeast Asia are gradually expanding their installations. This gradual growth trajectory underscores the increasing global acceptance of cryptocurrencies.
The steady growth of Bitcoin ATMs is anticipated to persist into early 2026. As operators gear up for greater retail interest and enhanced compliance frameworks, the global total is poised to surpass 40,000 machines, potentially before the end of 2025.
