Bitcoin Depot Rides on Kiosk Expansion: Bullish on Bitcoin Potential?
As of March 31, 2025, Bitcoin Depot had 8,463 BTM Kiosks installed across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, with a median kiosk transaction size of $300. Further, in June 2025, the company acquired the assets of Pelicoin, LLC, to strengthen its presence in the Gulf South region of the United States. The transaction will expand kiosk locations across Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Texas.
Moreover, Bitcoin Depot purchased additional Bitcoin under its treasury strategy, holding more than 100 Bitcoins in its treasury. This reinforces its confidence in Bitcoin's long-term potential as both a strategic asset and a store of value.
Last year, the company entered into seven franchise profit-sharing arrangements, under which counterparties will earn a share in profits generated by a particular group of kiosks. Also, it secured a deal with CEFCO for 72 out of their more than 200 locations to diversify within the convenience store industry. The company also signed a master placement agreement with EG America LLC to install BTM kiosks in more than 900 locations.
Thus, Bitcoin Depot aims to capitalize on existing partnerships and new ones to expand its BTM Kiosks to drive higher transaction volumes, which, in turn, will boost revenues.
What are BTM's Peers Doing?
Bitcoin Depot's close peers like Coinbase Global Inc. COIN and BTCS, Inc. BTCS have been capitalizing on cryptocurrency tailwinds. While Coinbase has been emphasizing stablecoins and staking services, BTCS focuses on an Ethereum-focused strategy.
The recent wave of deregulation in crypto policies is expected to favor companies like Bitcoin Depot, Coinbase and BTCS by reducing compliance burdens and opening up new revenue opportunities.

As Beer Stores shut their doors, who will take your empties?
Social Sharing With more and more Beer Stores closing across Ontario, charities and non-profits that rely on bottle collection are hoping to cash in on your empties. The Beer Store currently processes about 1.6 billion empty alcohol containers per year. But it has closed dozens of locations across the province since the arrival of beer in convenience stores, and plans to shutter still more this September. At least five of the actual or planned closures are in Ottawa, including one in the Glebe, where Operation Come Home runs a bottle drive as part of its BottleWorks social enterprise. Executive director John Heckbert hasn't noticed any impact yet — but he's hoping more residents will call on BottleWorks to collect their empties. "We would be very happy to help people if they find that they're accumulating bottles or that they would like somebody to come pick them up," he said. "It's definitely bad news for the people that are affected by the closures," he added. "But it is a positive for our program in the sense that we can provide more employment opportunities and more activity for our youth." Operation Come Home provides housing, employment and eduction programs for homeless youth, who staff the BottleWorks program. They ride around in the truck and collect from practically anywhere in Ottawa, though suburban areas have higher minimums for collection. Residents can fill out a form on the BottleWorks website and schedule a collection date. They can get a tax receipt in return. "We are going to be adding two new trucks to the road in the coming year," Heckbert said. "We're going to expand the capacity of the program and this timing will help us make sure that the trucks are always full." Animal rescues also hopeful BottleWorks isn't the only group that will pick up empties. Fundraisers for animal rescues also collect bottles and cans to pay for food and vet bills. Darlene Charman of Empties for Paws Orleans said empties play a major role in their fundraising. She saw a major uptick in collections during the COVID-19 pandemic, when it was tougher for people to get out for returns. She wonders whether the Beer Store closures might trigger a similar trend. "It could bring a little bit more of an influx of the empties to the animal rescues, because the people won't be bothered to drive further out," she said. Melody Lachance collects empties for several animal rescues through her fundraising group, Barrhaven & Area Empties. She too is hoping for a boost. "They may just contact us and say, 'Do you want my empties, because I'm not going to drive to wherever to cash them in,'" she said. Lachance is already looking to nearby Manotick, where a store is set to close later this month. But further closures could also be a hindrance, since both Lachance and Charman rely on the Beer Store for returns. Waste reduction advocate worried Duncan Bury of Waste Watch Ottawa agreed that charities can pick up some of the slack left as Beer Stores closed, but not enough to compensate for the overall decline of a collection system he already sees as severely lacking. Where other provinces like B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan collect about 80 per cent of their empties, Ontario brings in only about half. "That 50 per cent number will surely fall," Bury said. "The whole system, which is not very good to start with, is just going to get worse." Buty noted that most other provinces accept non-alcoholic containers and offer far more locations for residents to return their empties. Quebec has 1,200, while B.C. has 600. Currently, the Beer Store is required to keep at least 300 locations open as part of a contract with the provincial government. But that will end as of Jan. 1. Bury fears that could mean more closures and even fewer options for returns. "The options to recover those containers are frankly disappearing," said Bury. On that same date, the province will require grocery stores that sell alcohol to accept empties for collection. Bury said that could work. It's a major component of British Columbia's successful system. "If they can do it in British Columbia, there's absolutely no reason they shouldn't be able to do it in Ontario," he said. But he's concerned it won't happen. The province already requires about 70 grocery stores in areas without Beer Stores to accept empties. But a report in May found that few were actually complying. Bury said the province needs to be tough with the grocers, but it should also do more. He said Ontario should open stand-alone depots for bottle returns, like Quebec and British Columbia. Heckbert said BottleWorks could help businesses that sell alcohol by taking the empties off their hands. "I could imagine that for a grocery store, space and inventory will be an issue. It's the same thing that our bars and restaurants encounter," he said.

On-demand transit hits the streets in Pembroke
Pembroke, Ont., has launched a three-year on-demand transit pilot project, giving residents of the eastern Ontario city access to long-awaited public transportation. Two eight-seater vehicles will operate within city limits starting Aug. 5, with a third backup vehicle on standby to ensure uninterrupted service. "It's big news for our community," said Brian Abdallah, the city's deputy mayor and council's lead for the project. Pembroke, he noted, hasn't had any public transportation service for about 12 years, when its system was discontinued due to long wait times and low ridership. The city has now partnered with Mobility Transportation Specialists and Blaise Transit to deliver and monitor the on-demand pilot project. The vehicles won't follow a set route. Instead, people can book trips at a fare of five dollars per ride by using an app or web portal powered by Blaise Transit or by calling the city's on-demand transit phone line. The goal is to have riders walk no more than five minutes to and from their chosen pick up and drop off point. "The issue of transit has been a long outstanding issue with the community," said Angela Lochtie, Pembroke's director of corporate services and executive lead on the transit pilot. "It's very exciting, and the excitement that we've received in the community so far has been wonderful." During the first year of the pilot, Lochtie said the city is anticipating monthly ridership of between 1,200 and 1,700 people. The vehicles will have ramps and capacity to accommodate two wheelchairs, Lochtie said, although the Pembroke and Laurentian Valley Handi-Bus will still provide fully accessible door-to-door transit service in the area. Drawing from other municipalities Pembroke officials looked to other municipalities to develop their pilot, with a particular focus on North Grenville's on-demand bus service. The benefit of the on-demand transit, Abdallah said, is that "it's a more responsive system and saves time" by serving riders when and where they need to go. Last year, Ottawa had a go at a similar project in the east-end community of Blackburn Hamlet. The service shuttled riders between Blair station and the Gloucester Centre on Sundays and some holidays in place of OC Transpo's Route 28, using spare Para Transpo minibuses. Orléans West-Innes Coun. Laura Dudas said the pilot was "incredibly successful," totalling about 191 unique trips during the four months it ran. "It's not an Uber, but it is very close to that kind of door to door service and the connection to our LRT station was quite beneficial," Dudas said. "I'd also think that rural communities could benefit from this. Because although they're farther spread [out], if you were to book your ride, you're not having a giant articulated bus come down a rural road to pick up one user." Service to operate six days a week On-demand transit service in Pembroke will initially operate six days a week, excluding Sundays and statutory holidays, with the following hours: Monday to Wednesday: from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday: from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. After Sept. 1, service will be extended to 10 p.m. Monday to Friday. While the pilot is currently funded primarily through fare revenue and property taxes, the city is pursuing federal grant applications in the hopes of adding two electric vehicles to the fleet next year. The city is encouraging riders to provide feedback and will conduct a formal review of the service's performance six months into the pilot.
