Athena Bitcoin
Runs Bitcoin ATMs (more than 3,000, by its own count) in the US and Latin America, where cash buys or sells bitcoin. In 2025 the District of Columbia's Attorney General sued it, alleging undisclosed fees of up to 26% and that 93% of deposits at its D.C. machines in their first five months came from scams; the case is pending. In July 2026 California's financial regulator ordered it to stop operating kiosks in the state until licensed, alleging over-limit transactions and fees above the state's cap, and gave notice that it intends to seek penalties.

What Athena Bitcoin is
Athena Bitcoin operates a network of more than 3,000 Bitcoin ATM kiosks across 28 U.S. states, allowing customers to convert cash into Bitcoin. Customers can also buy Bitcoin online or through the Athena App, which maps kiosk locations, provides directions, and offers in-app purchasing and support. Purchased Bitcoin is sent to a wallet controlled by the customer rather than held by Athena.
Beyond ATM purchases, Athena's kiosks and app support international money transfers, gift card and mobile top-up purchases with cash, and merchant point-of-sale acceptance of Bitcoin payments. A separate OTC desk, Athena OTC, serves high-volume buyers and sellers with direct execution. The company states it has operated for eleven years.
