Bitcoin ATM installations hit 100,000 in 2025, up 30%, per industry estimates. The U.S. leads with 40% (40,000 ATMs), driven by retail demand—60% are in malls, per CoinShares. Canada follows with 15% (15,000), fueled by $0.03/kWh energy costs attracting miners. Europe, with 20% (20,000), grows in Germany and Switzerland, where 50% support Lightning payments. Asia, at 15% (15,000), sees growth in Japan, despite doubled reserve rules, per prior data. Latin America, with 10% (10,000), expands in Brazil, where BRDT’s P2P adoption adds 5,000 ATMs. Installations may reach 120,000 by 2026 if stablecoin support grows 20%, but a 10% Bitcoin price drop could slow expansion 15%, especially in Asia.
