Bitcoin Bancorp Launches California Deployment of Licensed Bitcoin ATM Network With First Installations

Initial Southern California deployment marks next phase of national retail expansion

Bitcoin Bancorp, Inc., the holder of foundational patents for Bitcoin ATMs, and one of only three publicly traded Bitcoin ATM network owner/operators, announced the initial deployment of licensed Bitcoin ATMs in Southern California.

The Company has completed its first installations in the greater Los Angeles area, marking the next phase of its national expansion strategy. This move follows its previously announced rollout in Texas and represents continued execution of a broader plan to scale its Bitcoin ATM network across key U.S. retail markets.

The Bitcoin ATM industry continues its rapid expansion, with the U.S. crypto ATM market valued at approximately USD 267.4 million in 2025 and projected to reach USD 7,679.6 million by 2034. Nationwide, the U.S. maintains over 35,000 Bitcoin ATMs (approximately 30,229 as of April 1, 2026).

California represents one of the most attractive markets for Bitcoin ATM expansion due to its large population, strong technology ecosystem, and high levels of cryptocurrency adoption. With more than 39 million residents, the state ranks among the top in total Bitcoin ATM installations nationwide. In comparison:

• Texas leads with the highest number of Bitcoin ATMs among U.S. states (reportedly exceeding 4,000 in late 2025), benefiting from its crypto-friendly regulations and large retail footprint.
• California ranks among the top states in total installations, often second or in close contention with major markets like Florida and New York, though it trails Texas in raw count.
• Other leading states, such as Florida, also show strong numbers, supported by high tourist traffic and crypto adoption in cities like Miami.

This positions California as a high-potential market where additional licensed, patented machines can capture significant untapped transaction volume in a densely populated, economically powerful state.

This strategic expansion into California delivers significant benefits for Bitcoin Bancorp and its shareholders. It provides immediate access to one of the largest state economies in the nation, where high retail foot traffic, strong crypto enthusiasm, and a massive population are expected to drive elevated transaction volumes and recurring fee-based revenue. The deployment leverages the Company’s patented technology for enhanced fraud prevention and regulatory compliance, positioning Bitcoin Bancorp as a trusted, licensed operator in a jurisdiction with rigorous oversight. By entering California, Bitcoin Bancorp diversifies its geographic footprint beyond its initial Texas deployment, accelerates national scaling, strengthens its market leadership among patent-holding public operators, and creates long-term value through increased operational scale and brand visibility in a premier innovation hub.

“California has continuously led digital-asset innovation, supported by its world-class technology leadership, expansive retail networks, and growing consumer demand for accessible cryptocurrency services,” said Eric Noveshen, director of Bitcoin Bancorp. “The opportunity arose to strategically add new markets following our Texas deployment. California represents a natural next step for our licensed Bitcoin ATMs—delivering secure, compliant on-ramps to Bitcoin while capitalizing on one of the largest economic markets in the United States.”
