Regulatory environment and impact on business growth, kiosk inventory and deployment strategy, seasonality impact on revenue growth, Bitcoin treasury strategy and dividend plans are the key contradictions discussed in Bitcoin Depot's latest 2025Q1 earnings call.



Revenue Growth and Kiosk Optimization:
- Bitcoin Depot delivered a remarkable Q1 with 19% year-over-year revenue growth and record net income of $12.2 million.

Gross Profit and Margin Expansion:
- Q1 adjusted gross profit was up 92% year-over-year, with adjusted gross margin increasing to 20.2%, a 770 basis point improvement.
- This margin increase was mainly due to leverage on significant revenue outperformance and strong pricing power.

International Expansion and Kiosk Inventory:
- Bitcoin Depot is expanding internationally, having deployed over 100 kiosks in Australia, which is emerging as a global hotspot for Bitcoin adoption.
- The company has a large inventory of kiosks secured last year, which could potentially increase the active fleet to approximately 10,000 kiosks.

Strong Cash Flow and Bitcoin Purchases:
- The company generated a record $16.3 million in cash from operating activities, allowing it to build cash and purchase more Bitcoin.
- Bitcoin Depot acquired 83 more Bitcoins in the quarter, bringing its investment holdings up to 94.4 BTC valued at approximately $7.8 million.
