A new milestone has been achieved as regards the amount of BTC ATMs (sometimes called BTMs) available globally. The number is now more than 6,000. According to CoinATMRadar, the number is now 6,004 around the world, and more than 65 percent are in the U.S.

Further, the number that has been installed this month is 108, and on daily basis, the average number of BTC ATMs installed is 11. North America has more than three out of four machines globally, while there are about 20 percent in Europe and only 2 percent in Asia. In the U.S., Canada, the UK, and Austria, there are 3,924, 653, 272 and 189 BTC ATMs, respectively.

Since June, there have been one thousand more ATMs globally, and this shows that the industry is growing remarkably. BTMs permit people to purchase BTC, and more than 35 percent of BTMs also enable selling of crypto for cash.

However, some people do not like the increasing recognition of Bitcoin ATMs, especially in the U.S. According to the reports by Cointelegraph in the previous day, John Fort maintained that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation is being cautious of the likely tax challenges from BTC ATMs and kiosks.
