Bitcoin Depot Expands Fintech Portfolio with Launch of Business Advance Platform, ReadyBucks

New platform marks continued diversification beyond core crypto ATM business

ATLANTA, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced the launch of ReadyBucks, a business advance platform designed to provide working capital solutions to small businesses, gig workers and independent contractors.

ReadyBucks operates as a standalone product, independent of the Company’s bitcoin kiosk business. It is an online platform offering business advances ranging from $500 to $2,000 as part of its initial rollout across select states.

According to Statista projections, an estimated 86.5 million Americans, more than half of the U.S. workforce, are expected to be freelancing by 2027, highlighting the sustained growth of the independent workforce that ReadyBucks aims to serve. Bitcoin Depot’s experience operating a large-scale transaction network, managing compliance programs, and overseeing payment processing capabilities create operational synergies that position the Company to support and scale this new product line effectively.

The platform provides revenue-based funding structured to support independent earners whose income may vary week-to-week, including gig workers, contractors, self-employed individuals, and freelancers. The funding is intended to support business operations and short-term working capital needs. Rather than borrowing funds through a traditional loan or performing a credit pull, customers enter a revenue-based funding arrangement, selling a fixed portion of future business revenue in exchange for immediate capital, with repayments over a fixed term.

“We have seen a growing need for flexible capital solutions designed specifically for independent earners and small operators. ReadyBucks is structured to provide working capital tailored to the needs of small businesses in the growing 1099 economy,” said Scott Buchanan, CEO of Bitcoin Depot. “By leveraging our strong operational foundation in compliance and payments expertise we’ve developed through our core kiosk business, we believe ReadyBucks is an important step in continuing to diversify our product offerings and revenue streams.”

ReadyBucks is currently available in nine states, with Bitcoin Depot planning to evaluate expansion into additional states over time. The launch builds on the company’s recent acquisitions of the peer-to-peer social betting platform Kutt, marking its first entry into the peer-to-peer betting market, as well as regional crypto kiosk operator Instant Coin Bank.
