What are Bitcoin ATMs and how do they work?

Bitcoin ATMs are physical kiosks that let you buy (and sometimes sell) Bitcoin using cash or a debit card. Scan your wallet QR code, insert cash, and receive Bitcoin directly. Bitcoin ATMs are located in convenience stores, malls, and gas stations across the U.S. and many countries. While convenient, bitcoin ATM fees are typically 5–15% — higher than online exchanges — so platforms like Orange Standard usually offer better pricing for your bitcoin purchase.
