U.S. loses over 11,000 Bitcoin ATMs so far in 2026
- —U.S. Bitcoin ATM count fell to 19,506 from 30,924 at the start of 2026
- —That is a decline of 11,418 machines, or 36.92%, in nine months
- —Global installations dropped by 12,065 to 27,337
- —Only 38 machines were added in the U.S. in the first three weeks of September
Why it matters: The shrinking ATM network reflects weak retail crypto demand in 2026, though the recent BTC rally could revive installations before year-end.
