Everything you need to know about hosting a Bitcoin ATM.

Host locations typically earn $200–$600 per month. High-traffic gas stations and convenience stores can earn more. Earnings depend on daily transaction volume at your specific location.

We provide a written location-specific estimate before any agreement is signed, based on comparable machines in similar locations near you.

When a customer buys Bitcoin, the ATM charges a transaction fee (typically 10–15% of the purchase amount). You receive a percentage of that fee on every transaction. For example: a $200 Bitcoin purchase at a 12% fee generates a $24 operator fee. At a 10% host share, you earn $2.40 per transaction.

Your exact percentage is written into the host agreement before installation. It does not change without your consent.

Monthly by direct bank deposit on a fixed date. You also receive access to a reporting dashboard where you can see your current period earnings, transaction count, and full payout history at any time.

Gas stations, convenience stores, tobacco and vape shops, grocery stores, liquor stores, laundromats, and check-cashing locations are the strongest candidates. The ideal host has 12+ operating hours per day, steady foot traffic, and customers who regularly use cash.

If you are unsure whether your business qualifies, submit a site review. We evaluate every inquiry.

The machine footprint is 18″ × 23″ and the unit stands approximately 5 feet tall. You need a standard 110V outlet within 6 feet of the placement spot. No construction, no plumbing, no structural changes. The machine just needs to be visible to entering customers and accessible from the front.

The machine uses a cellular data connection for all transactions and monitoring. You do not need to share your wifi or provide internet access. The cellular connection is part of our equipment and covered under our operational costs.

Four things: keep the area around the machine clear and clean, maintain access to the electrical outlet, notify us within 24 hours if you see a visible problem with the machine, and allow our technicians access for scheduled maintenance visits. That is the complete list of host responsibilities.

No. The cash inside the machine belongs to Iron & Iron Solutions. We manage all cash collection through armored carrier pickups. You never handle, count, or transport ATM cash. You are not liable for the machine's cash content.

Direct them to the support number on the machine. That number connects directly to our customer support team. You are not expected to resolve transaction questions, explain Bitcoin, or handle disputes of any kind.

We monitor every machine 24/7 through our fleet management system and receive automatic alerts when machines go offline or enter error states. In most cases we know about a problem before you do. If the machine is visibly damaged or you notice a problem, notify us via phone or email and we dispatch a technician.

Yes. Bitcoin ATMs are legal money services businesses in the United States. Operators register with FinCEN (the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) and comply with the Bank Secrecy Act. Colorado has a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrency ATM operators.

Iron & Iron Solutions holds all required licenses and manages all regulatory filings. Host businesses carry no compliance liability from hosting the machine.

No. The host agreement includes a hold-harmless clause that protects the host business from transaction-related liability. Regulatory responsibility sits entirely with Iron & Iron Solutions as the licensed ATM operator. You are a landlord providing floor space—not a party to cryptocurrency transactions.

KYC (Know Your Customer) is an identity verification requirement built into the machine's software. Customers complete verification directly on the ATM touchscreen before transacting. You play no role in this process.

Tier 1 transactions (up to ~$960) require name, date of birth, and phone number. Higher amounts require government photo ID. The process takes 1–3 minutes and is handled by the machine.

Standard agreements are 3 years with an automatic renewal option. Contract length is negotiable. We discuss terms with every host before signing and can accommodate shorter initial periods in some cases.

Early termination terms are specified in the host agreement. Standard contracts include a 90-day written notice requirement for cancellation. We prefer to resolve any issues through conversation before removal comes up—most operational concerns are fixable.

Yes. High-traffic locations can support multiple machines. Each machine is a separate revenue share and separate monthly payout. We evaluate multi-machine placements on a case-by-case basis after reviewing floor plan and traffic data for your location.
