The global network of Bitcoin ATMs recorded steady growth in the third quarter of 2025, with 648 new machines added worldwide, according to data from Finbold’s Q3 2025 Cryptocurrency Market Report.
The total number of Bitcoin ATMs increased from 38,726 on 1 July to 39,374 by 30 September, averaging seven new installations each day – equivalent to more than 210 machines per month. This follows strong momentum in the first half of the year, which saw over 1,000 new ATMs deployed globally.
U.S. drives renewed momentum
The United States led the global expansion, accounting for 386 of the new ATMs installed in Q3. This represents the second consecutive quarter of growth after a slowdown earlier in the year. In Q1, the U.S. recorded a net loss of 185 machines, bringing its total down to 29,934. However, the trend reversed in Q2, with 513 new installations bringing the total to 30,833 by the end of Q3. Analysts suggest the Trump Administration’s more crypto-friendly policies may have encouraged investment in Bitcoin ATM infrastructure.
Regional trends show contrasts
Australia posted strong results, adding 132 new ATMs during Q3 and continuing its growth streak across all three quarters of the year. This follows previous gains of 272 machines in Q1 and 219 in Q2.
By contrast, Europe and Canada saw declines in Q3. Europe’s count fell by 25 ATMs after earlier growth of 86 in Q1 and 63 in Q2. Canada’s total also dropped by five machines, reversing the upward trend seen in the first half of the year when it added 122 ATMs in Q1 and 123 in Q2.
Global growth continues despite mixed regional results
Despite regional disparities, the worldwide trend remains upward, with close to 1,650 new Bitcoin ATMs installed so far in 2025. The Q3 data reflects a period of stabilisation following early-year volatility and highlights the role of Bitcoin ATMs as a tangible indicator of broader digital asset adoption.
Jordan Major, senior analyst at Finbold, commented:
“What we’re seeing is not just a raw expansion of infrastructure, but a shift in confidence. The U.S. market swinging from net losses in Q1 to back-to-back gains in Q2 and Q3 highlights how quickly sentiment can change when policy aligns with demand. ATMs are a useful bellwether, they reflect real-world adoption outside the trading screens.”
