hello world!
Looking to buy some Bitcoin? Our convenient Bitcoin ATM locator tool is here to help.
This tool easily connects you with your nearest Bitcoin Depot location in just a few clicks. But how does it work?
That’s what this blog is all about.
Read on to learn more about our locator tool, how to find your nearest Bitcoin ATM and some other things you’ll need to know to make your first purchase.
Our Bitcoin ATM locator is a simple-to-use tool that helps you find your nearest Bitcoin ATM. Makes sense, right? I mean, it is in the name.
But, how it does it is a bit more interesting.
Our Bitcoin ATM locator leverages geolocation technology to pinpoint Bitcoin ATMs based on your current location or manually entered address. If you decide to allow the locator to access your location, it will use your smartphone’s GPS or your computer’s IP address to automatically detect your location.
With this information it provides you with data-powered results.
This will include things like nearby Bitcoin ATM locations, their hours of operation, and other information like how to get there.
By integrating these data points, the Bitcoin ATM locator tool ensures you have all the information you need to make a quick and informed decision about where to go to make a cash purchase of Bitcoin.
There are two ways you can access our locator tool.
The first is through the Bitcoin Depot mobile app. This app is an all-in-one crypto powerhouse, giving you access to not only our Bitcoin ATM locator tool but also a crypto wallet as well as our online buying services.
When you open up the app, the locator tool is the first thing you see.
You can either allow the app to access your location or input an address in the upper search bar. Underneath, you’ll see a map with all your nearby Bitcoin ATM locations. You’ll also see a nearby BDCheckout™ location if you live in a supported area.
The web-based locator works in a similar way:
It’s as easy as that!
Now that you know how to find your local Bitcoin ATM, what do you need to bring to make a purchase? Here is what you need to know.
First, you’re going to need cash.
Next, you’re going to need a digital wallet. This is how you’ll receive your Bitcoin. If you’re using the Bitcoin Depot mobile app, there’s a wallet available there for you.
Last, you’ll need some personal information for verification purposes.
What you’ll need will depend on how much you intend to purchase. The higher the amount you want to buy, the more information you may need to verify your identity. This has to do with things like Know-Your-Customer (KYC) requirements and Bitcoin ATM limits.

The best part of using our locator tool is finding out just how many Bitcoin ATMs are in your neighborhood.
We really are living in quite a special time.
You see, not so long ago, you’d be hard-pressed to find a Bitcoin ATM anywhere near you. Back in 2016, when we first started, there were only around 600 Bitcoin ATMs worldwide* (data from statista.com) across all Bitcoin ATM operators.
These days, that number is around 37,000* (as mentioned on coinatmradar.com).
8,400 of those are Bitcoin Depot locations. There’s been quite a lot of growth in under a decade, with more to come!
If you’re looking for a Bitcoin ATM, there’s no better tool than our Bitcoin ATM locator.
This convenient tool will help you find your nearest Bitcoin ATM in just a few clicks. No need to hunt down a map; we’ve got it all taken care of for you.
With this locator, you can find any of our 8,400 locations (as of March 2025) across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. No matter where you are, you’re never too far away from a seamless and easy cash purchase of Bitcoin.
