Bitcoin Bancorp Launches Texas Deployment of Licensed Bitcoin ATM Network With First 50 ATM Installations

First Phase of Planned Regional Retail Rollout Begins With 50 of 200 Crypto ATMs

LAS VEGAS, March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Bancorp, Inc. (OTC: BCBC) (“Bitcoin Bancorp” or the “Company”), the holder of foundational patents for Bitcoin ATMs, and among a small number of publicly traded Bitcoin ATM network owner/operators, today announced the initial deployment of licensed Bitcoin ATMs across regional convenience-store locations beginning in Texas.

The Company has begun installing the first 50 licensed Bitcoin ATMs, representing the first phase of its previously announced strategy to deploy up to 200 additional crypto ATM machines during the first quarter of 2026. These installations mark the operational start of a broader rollout designed to expand Bitcoin Bancorp’s licensed Bitcoin ATM network across multiple U.S. retail markets.

“We are excited to begin the deployment of these licensed Bitcoin ATMs as the first phase of our planned network rollout,” said Eric Noveshen, Director of Bitcoin Bancorp. “A significant amount of strategic preparation has gone into building both the operational and compliance infrastructure required to support this expansion. As the network grows, we remain focused on delivering convenient retail access to digital assets while maintaining strong fraud-prevention safeguards and consumer-protection standards. That commitment to the customer experience is supported by the foundational technology behind our ATM platform and the security partnerships we have put in place.”

Across its growing network, Bitcoin Bancorp is focused on pairing access to digital assets with strong fraud-prevention and compliance controls. The Company believes that expanding retail access to cryptocurrency must be matched with responsible operating standards designed to keep the in-store experience safe, transparent, and familiar for everyday consumers. This mindset is particularly important as the Bitcoin Bancorp works to align its current retail rollout with both regional and nationally recognized convenience-store chains.

Mr. Noveshen continued, “The Texas rollout reflects what we view as a broader national trend, whereby retail environments are increasingly becoming access points for financial services. And with respect to cryptocurrencies, Texas is emerging as one of the more favorable environments for digital-asset innovation in the United States—supported by a pro-business climate and a rapidly expanding technology sector. Combined with one of the largest convenience-store and retail networks in the country, Texas represents a natural starting point for the deployment of next-generation financial infrastructure such as our licensed Bitcoin ATMs.”

Bitcoin Bancorp’s management firmly believes that regional and national convenience-store chains and locations represent a natural gateway for expanding responsible consumer access to digital assets through regulated and compliant infrastructure. And as Bitcoin Bancorp expands its licensed Bitcoin ATM footprint, management expects to continue deploying additional machines across Texas and other markets within the region. Particularly, as part of a broader national network expansion strategy focused on partnerships within large-scale retail environments and supported by its previously announced purchase of 1,000 Bitcoin ATM Kiosks.
