How much does hosting a Bitcoin ATM pay?
Host locations earn a share of every transaction, paid monthly. Here is exactly how the numbers work.
How the revenue share calculates.
Bitcoin ATM operators charge customers a transaction fee, typically 10–15% of the amount purchased. As a host location, you receive a percentage of that fee on every transaction processed at your machine.

Estimates based on comparable locations. Actual earnings vary by location traffic, demographics, and transaction volume. Iron & Iron Solutions provides a location-specific estimate before any agreement is signed.
What determines your earnings?
Three factors drive transaction volume at any Bitcoin ATM location.
Foot traffic volume
More daily customer visits means more potential Bitcoin transactions. Gas stations and convenience stores consistently outperform other location types because of their high visit frequency and extended operating hours. Locations open 16+ hours per day generate significantly more transaction volume than those with limited hours.
Customer demographics
Bitcoin ATM usage is highest in areas with above-average unbanked and underbanked household rates. Approximately 5.4% of U.S. households are unbanked and rely on cash for financial transactions. Neighborhoods with this profile generate more Bitcoin ATM transactions per day than affluent areas where customers have full banking access.
Competitor density
Locations in areas with few competing Bitcoin ATMs within a 5-mile radius capture more of the local demand. We map competitor locations before approving any placement and target areas with underserved populations relative to existing machine density.
