anchored·3zhwyE…Y5osSummary
Bitcoin Depot was once the largest Bitcoin ATM operator in North America, operating more than 9,000 kiosks before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 18, 2026. The company faces lawsuits from the attorneys general of Iowa and Massachusetts alleging it knowingly facilitated crypto scams, with one state finding that more than 80% of high-value transactions at its kiosks were linked to fraud. Multiple data breaches, a $3.6 million wallet theft, regulatory enforcement in California, and on-chain evidence flagged by ZachXBT further document systemic compliance and security failures.
