Since Bitcoin’s inception, the community around the cryptocurrency has grown by leaps and bounds. That has been evident in the number of companies foraying into the Bitcoin ATM space. Genesis Coin has the most number of ATMs with 16, followed by General Bytes with 62 machines. Several companies such as Coinflip Bitcoin ATMs and Bitcoin Depot that made news for installing completely new machines.

In January, 325 new ATMs were installed in the US while five were added in Canada. The United Kingdom came in third place with two new ATMs in January. At the same time, some countries also saw a loss in the number of machines.

Other than Bitcoin, these machines also support cryptos such as Bitcoin Cash and even Dogecoin. BCH has become an ATM friendly crypto after the number of BCH supported ATMs increased by 4 percent in the last month.
