Distribution deal grows U.S. retail footprint.
ATLANTA – Bitcoin Depot has announced a distribution partnership with the Independent Grocers Alliance (“IGA”), the world’s largest network of independent grocery retailers, to expand access to Bitcoin Depot kiosks through neighborhood grocery stores across the country.
With this partnership, IGA stores across the United States will gain the opportunity to offer in-store Bitcoin access through the Bitcoin Depot kiosks, where permitted, extending Bitcoin Depot’s national footprint and allowing more consumers the opportunity to buy Bitcoin in a familiar retail setting.
“This partnership with IGA helps us increase our reach to provide easy and secure access to Bitcoin for consumers across diverse communities,” said Scott Buchanan, President & COO of Bitcoin Depot. “By leveraging IGA’s robust network of independent retailers, we are extending the reach of our kiosks while also opening the door to future international expansion.”
With IGA’s presence in over 25 countries, this engagement positions Bitcoin Depot to evaluate expansion into new international markets as demand for Bitcoin access continues to rise.
“Partnering with Bitcoin Depot, a trusted leader in the crypto ATM space, allows us to offer our retailers a proven, secure way to meet growing consumer demand for digital assets,” said IGA VP of Brand Development Michael La Kier. “This relationship will further help independent grocers stay competitive by bringing in new foot traffic and offering a service that’s increasingly relevant to the communities they serve.”
