Bitcoin Bancorp just scooped up Bitcoin Depot's corpse in bankruptcy court — ~2,446 ATM kiosks, IP, domain, and inventory.
Context: Bitcoin Depot ran ~9,700 $BTC ATMs across US/Canada/Australia + 16,300 retail checkout integrations. Processed 4M+ txs worth $3.4B since launch. Now dead.
Why it matters: Bitcoin Bancorp gets instant physical distribution without grinding to build it themselves. Classic bankruptcy arbitrage — buy the hardware cheap, skip the operational bleed.
Bullish for whoever can actually run ATM ops profitably. Most can't. Watch if Bancorp can flip this into real revenue or if they just bought expensive metal boxes.
