Recognition Comes After Landmark Growth Year for Bitcoin Depot and Historic Nasdaq Public Listing

ATLANTA, Dec. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM operator and leading fintech company, today announced that founder and CEO Brandon Mintz has been recognized on Forbes’ 13th annual Under 30 List for the Class of 2024, a prestigious set of lists recognizing 30 notable people under 30 years of age across various industries. Mintz received recognition in the Finance category for establishing Bitcoin Depot. As the world’s largest crypto kiosk provider, Bitcoin Depot boasts over 6,000 Bitcoin ATMs across North America, commanding a market share of over 20%.

“In founding Bitcoin Depot seven years ago, my aim was to bring cryptocurrency within easy reach of the average person. Today, I am thrilled to see the significant progress we’ve achieved this year, not just in expanding our presence but also in delivering outstanding service to our clients, even amidst challenging market conditions,” Mintz stated. “This accolade is a testament to our advancements in 2023 and our unwavering dedication to innovation and strategic development. Being acknowledged alongside other distinguished industry pioneers is a true honor. I am excited to further enhance Bitcoin Depot’s influence in 2024 and in the years to come.”

In July 2023, Bitcoin Depot debuted on Nasdaq under the ticker “BTM,” becoming the first BTM company to debut on an American exchange. The company also announced several key partnerships throughout the year with major retailers such as Circle K and Fast Lane.

“This is one of the most diverse and ambitious Under 30 classes to-date, and particularly in terms of the scope of their work and impact of their leadership,” said Kristin Stoller, Senior Editor, Forbes Under 30, in a press release. “The large majority are founders or cofounders of a company, but creators and performers are also making their mark as they build their brands beyond traditional artistic scopes.”
