Bitcoin ATM Installations Plummet: Only 202 Installed Worldwide in May - An 87% Drop
As the year 2025 approaches its midpoint, the year is not shaping up to be the best for Bitcoin ATM installations around the world. The number of ATMs appears to be trending downward. 202 Bitcoin (BTC) ATM installations across the globe have seen a steep decline throughout the year 2025, with May recording just 202 new BTC ATMs, a range last seen three years ago. This represents a staggering 87% drop compared to last year's figures.
