ATLANTA, April 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced its retail partnership with Fareway Stores Inc. (“Fareway”), a growing Midwest grocery company currently operating more than 130 grocery store locations across the Midwestern US.

Bitcoin Dept plans to deploy BTMs in 66 Fareway locations starting in Q2 of 2024, throughout Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, and Missouri.
