How to Buy Bitcoin with Cash Step-by-Step

Buying Bitcoin from a Bitcoin ATM is simple. The process usually takes just a few minutes, and Bitcoin arrives in your wallet just a few moments later, depending on Bitcoin network speeds. All you need is a digital wallet, your phone, and cash.

While Bitcoin ATMs vary from operator to operator, they usually follow similar steps.

Below we’ll walk through the process of buying at a Bitcoin Depot kiosk:

  1. Create a Digital Wallet: First, you’ll need to create a digital wallet. If you don’t already have one, you can create one in the Bitcoin Depot mobile app (download on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store*).
  2. Enter Your Information: At the Bitcoin ATM, select the amount you wish to purchase. You’ll then be asked to provide your phone number, name, and email address. 
  3. Create Your PIN: Enter a 4-digit PIN to secure your account. Choose a unique combination that’s easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
  4. Provide Your Wallet Address: You can either scan your Bitcoin Depot wallet via the app, or enter your own wallet address manually. Just be careful entering manually as mistakes are irreversible on the Bitcoin network.
  5. Complete Your Purchase: Insert your cash into the Bitcoin ATM. Once the transaction is complete, choose print or email for your receipt. Your crypto will hit your wallet within minutes.
