Revenue Declines Despite Beating Estimates

The fall came after the the largest operator of Bitcoin ATMs in North America reported revenue of $116 million in the fourth quarter (Q4), beating analyst estimates of $114 million as per Koyfin data. However, it was lower than the $136.8 million reported last year.“This decrease was driven by recently enacted state regulations and enhanced compliance standards,” management said.

Bitcoin Depot also reported a loss of $0.81 per share, wider than the expected $0.47 loss per share.

Going into next year, the company said it expects revenue for its core business to fall by 30% to 40%.“This estimate reflects the uncertainty presented by the dynamic regulatory environment and enhanced compliance standards,” management said.“While these will weigh on near-term results, we believe they will reinforce the integrity and sustainability of our business over the long term.”

It plans to expand other revenue streams like its recent foray into prediction markets after the acquisition of Kutt, a peer-to-peer social betting platform, announced earlier this month.

“This acquisition marks our first entry into the P2P social betting market and reflects our broader strategy to thoughtfully diversify beyond our core Bitcoin ATM business while leveraging our payments infrastructure and compliance expertise,” said Scott Buchanan, CEO of Bitcoin Depot.

BTM’s stock is down over 57% this year and over 59% in the 12 months.
