Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis provides information which Bitcoin Depot's management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of consolidated results of operations and financial condition. You should read the following discussion and analysis of Bitcoin Depot's financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Certain information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to plans and strategy for Bitcoin Depot's business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements Safe Harbor Statement," our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to "we," "us," "our," the "Company" or "Bitcoin Depot" refer to Bitcoin Depot Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Business Overview
Bitcoin Depot owns and operates the largest network of Bitcoin ATMs ("BTMs" or "BTM kiosks") in North America where customers can buy and sell Bitcoin. Bitcoin Depot helps power the digital economy for users of cash.
Our mission is to bring Crypto to the Masses. Digital means and systems dominate the way that consumers send money, make purchases, and invest; however, we believe that many people utilize cash as their primary means of initiating a transaction, either as a necessity or as a preference. These individuals have largely been excluded from the digital financial system and associated technological advancements in our global and digitally interconnected society. Bitcoin Depot's simple and convenient process to convert cash into Bitcoin via our BTMs and BDCheckout out products, as supported by our feature-rich mobile app, enables not only these users, but also the broader public, to access the digital financial system. Our mobile app includes a buy online feature that connects consumers to a third-party service, Simplex powered by Nuvei, that allows consumers to buy Bitcoin without going to a kiosk or using BDCheckout.
Our BTMs offer one-way exchange of cash-to-Bitcoin. We also operate a leading BTM device and transaction processing system, BitAccess, which provides software and operational capabilities to third-party BTM operators, which generates software revenue for the Company.
In August 2025, we acquired the assets of Westcliff Technologies Inc. dba. National Bitcoin ATM ("NBATM"). The acquisition adds over 500 kiosks in 27 states to Bitcoin Depot's network. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, the seller will continue to operate the purchased kiosks until they are converted to the Bitcoin Depot operating platform during the conversion period which is expected to last roughly three months from the transaction date. Unconverted kiosks with their associated revenues and expenses have been excluded from the Company's results for the current quarter.
As of September 30, 2025, our offerings included approximately 9,276 BTMs in retail locations throughout the U.S., Canada and Australia, our BDCheckout product, which is accepted at approximately 16,345 retail locations, and our mobile app. We maintain a leading position among cash-to-Bitcoin BTM operators in the U.S. and Canada.
Kiosk Network and Retailer Relationships
Bitcoin Depot operates a network of kiosks that allow users to purchase Bitcoin with cash. Upon using a Bitcoin Depot kiosk for the first time, users will be prompted to provide certain information for account creation and verification. Users are required to select from three ranges of cash amounts to be inserted in the kiosk for purchasing Bitcoin. The user then provides the address of his or her digital wallet by scanning a QR code or manually inputting his or her unique wallet address; the user can create and use a Bitcoin Depot-branded wallet (un-hosted and non-custodial), or his or her own other existing digital wallet. Cash is then inserted by the user into the kiosk and the kiosk will confirm the dollar amount and other details of the transaction, including quantity of Bitcoin being purchased. Once the transaction is complete, the Bitcoin is electronically delivered to the user's digital wallet and the user is provided with a physical receipt as well as a receipt via SMS text.
Bitcoin Depot's largest BTM deployment as of September 30, 2025 is with Circle K, a convenience store chain of over 9,000 stores in North America and over 5,000 stores in Europe and other international markets. We are the exclusive provider and operator of BTMs for Circle K in the U.S. and Canada, and as of September 30, 2025 we have installed our BTMs in approximately 750 Circle K stores. We also have BTM kiosks deployed in other convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, pharmacies, and shopping malls.

Cryptocurrencies
Our revenues, $498.8 and $436.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, have not been correlated to the price of Bitcoin historically, even in light of volatile Bitcoin prices. For example, our revenue during the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2025 increased by 8.6% compared to the same period ended September 30, 2024, while the market price of Bitcoin increased by 87.5% during the same period. Based on our own user surveys, a majority of our users use our products and services for non-speculative purposes, including domestic and international remittances, online purchases, among others.
We use a sophisticated Bitcoin management process to reduce our exposure to volatility in Bitcoin prices by maintaining a relatively low balance (typically less than $1.0 million) of Bitcoin at any given time specifically for revenue-generating operations, which we believe differentiates us from our competition. Our typical practice is to purchase Bitcoin through a liquidity provider such as Cumberland DRW or Abra. We replenish our Bitcoin only through purchases from leading Bitcoin liquidity providers and do not engage in any mining of Bitcoin ourselves. Our sophisticated replenishment process enables us to satisfy our users' Bitcoin purchases with our own Bitcoin holdings yet maintain relatively small balances of Bitcoin to effectively manage our principal risk related to our operations. There are two main components of the working capital required in our operations. On the Bitcoin side, we maintain Bitcoin in our hot wallets to fulfill orders from users while we are automatically placing orders with liquidity providers and exchanges to replenish the Bitcoin we have sold to users. The second component to working capital is the cash that accumulates in our BTM kiosks. As users insert cash into the BTM kiosks, cash accumulates until armored carriers collect the cash and process it back to our bank accounts. We typically maintain a variable level of cash in the BTM kiosks at all times. Cash in BTM kiosks as of September 30, 2025 was approximately 28.2% of average monthly revenues for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2025.
In June 2024, the Company began allocating a portion of its cash reserves to Bitcoin. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held approximately $11.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of Bitcoin allocated to its treasury strategy.
Regulatory Environment
We operate internationally and in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment characterized by a heightened focus by regulators globally on all aspects of the payments industry, including countering terrorist financing, anti-money laundering, privacy, cybersecurity, and consumer protection. The laws and regulations applicable to us, including those enacted prior to the advent of digital payments, are continuing to evolve through legislative and regulatory action and judicial interpretation. New or changing laws and regulations, including changes to their interpretation and implementation, as well as increased penalties and enforcement actions related to non-compliance, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. It is also possible that the increased regulatory uncertainty could increase the cost of compliance due to tension with conflicting federal, state and local regulations, and could thus have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Significant changes or developments in U.S. laws and policies, such as laws and policies surrounding international trade, foreign affairs, consumer protection, and environmental impact, among others, could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition. Furthermore, due to the overturning of the Chevron doctrine, which provided for judicial deference to regulatory agencies, we cannot be sure whether there will be increased challenges to existing federal agency regulations or how lower courts will apply the decision, which could impact regulation of financial instructions, environmental regulation, consumer protection, advertising, privacy, artificial intelligence, and other regulatory regimes with which we are required to comply in an unpredictable manner. Finally, we cannot predict how the slew of executive orders issued by the new presidential administration might impact our operations and financial condition, particularly given the likelihood of increasing legal challenges to these executive orders. For further discussion, see Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In 2025, thirteen states have passed legislation to regulate use of virtual currency kiosks, with such legislation already in effect in twelve of these states. The remaining state will go into effect on January 1, 2026. We cannot predict the full impact these laws, or any similar pending or future legislation, may have on our financial condition or results of operations, nor can we predict the likelihood of such bills becoming law. The new laws are largely consistent with what was reported in our most recent 10-K, see Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Government Regulation and Privacy Matters - The digital financial system is novel. As a result, policymakers are just beginning to consider what a regulatory regime for cryptocurrencies should look like and the elements that would serve as the foundation for such a regime. If we are unable to effectively react to future proposed legislation and regulation of cryptocurrencies or cryptocurrency businesses, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected." in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Key Business Metrics
We monitor and evaluate the following key business metrics to measure performance, identify trends, develop and refine growth strategies and make strategic decisions. We believe these metrics and measures are useful to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our business, and to facilitate comparisons of our performance to that of our competitors.
-40-
Our key metrics are calculated using internal company data based on the activity we measure on our platform and may be compiled from multiple systems. While the measurement of our key metrics is based on what we believe to be reasonable methodologies and estimates, there are inherent challenges and limitations in measuring our key metrics internationally. The methodologies used to calculate our key metrics require judgment and we regularly review our processes for calculating these key metrics, and from time to time we may make adjustments to improve their accuracy or relevance.

Installed Kiosks
This metric provides an indicator of our market penetration, the growth of our business and our potential future business opportunities. We define installed kiosks as the number of kiosks installed at the end of the quarter in a retail location that are connected to our network. We monitor transaction volume at our kiosks on a continuous basis to maximize transaction volumes from each kiosk. Based on these monitoring activities, we may re-deploy certain of our kiosks, using third-party logistics providers, to new locations (e.g., those available with our new retail partners) that we believe will maximize transaction volumes and revenues.
Kiosks Held with Logistics Providers
This metric includes kiosks held with our logistics providers, the manufacturer, or kiosks that are in-transit to new locations, which we believe will result in higher transaction volume and revenue per kiosk once deployed.
Returning User Transaction Count
This metric provides an indicator of user retention and our competitive advantage relative to our peers, as well as the trajectory of cryptocurrency adoption, and allows us to make strategic decisions. We define returning user transaction count as the average number of aggregate transactions completed at any kiosk in the four quarters trailing the quarter in which a given user's first transaction occurred, measured only for users who complete more than one transaction. For example, as of September 30, 2025, users who first transacted at one of our kiosks during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and who subsequently completed a second transaction completed an average of 5.6 transactions over the twelve months following their initial transaction.
New User Count
This metric Provides an indication of the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing efforts. We define new user count as the number of users who complete their first transaction during the quarter reported.
Median Kiosk Transaction Size
This metric provides information to analyze user behavior as well as evaluate our performance and formulate financial projections. We calculate median kiosk transaction size based on the dollar value of all purchases and sales of Bitcoin at our kiosks, including transaction fees, during the rolling twelve month period.
Lifetime Value
This metric provides information to analyze user behavior as well as evaluate our performance and formulate financial projections. We define customer lifetime value as the average cumulative dollar value of all purchases by users acquired from inception through the current quarter. For example, as of September 30, 2025, users who have completed at least one transaction between 2016 and September 30, 2025 have transacted a total of $5,269 on average.
Segment Reporting
Our financial reporting is organized into one segment. We make specific disclosures concerning our products and services because such disclosure facilitates our discussion of trends and operational initiatives within our business and industry. Our products and
-41-
services are aggregated and viewed by management as one reportable segment due to the similarity in the nature of the customers and overall economic characteristics, the nature of the products and services provided and the applicable regulatory environment.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We generate substantially all of our revenue from the cash paid by customers to purchase Bitcoin from our kiosks. For example, approximately 99.8% of our revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2025 was derived from the sale of our cryptocurrency, including the markup at which we sell cryptocurrency to users (which can vary between BDCheckout and BTM kiosks) and a separate flat transaction fee. These user-initiated transactions are governed by terms and conditions agreed to at the time of each point-of-sale transaction and do not extend beyond the transaction.
For the periods presented, the markup percentage for BTM kiosk transactions ranged between 15% and 50%, of the USD amount of the transaction with such markup rates historically having been, and continuing to be, subject to fluctuation as a result of our ongoing price strategy testing. The markup percentage for BDCheckout transactions has been 15% since the rollout of this type of transaction in 2022. Finally, the Company receives a commission as a percentage for our website transactions which was 12% through September 30, 2025. Markup percentages are determined by examining user transaction patterns in various geographic locations, based on ongoing markup rate testing, with the ultimate aim of optimizing profitability, growth and user base.
For each Bitcoin transaction on our kiosks and within BDCheckout, the cryptocurrency price displayed to users includes the exchange rate at which we sell Bitcoin to users as well as a separate flat transaction fee. As of September 30, 2025, we charge (i) a flat $3.00 fee on all transactions at BTM kiosks, which generally corresponds to the costs underlying such transactions and (ii) a flat $3.50 fee on BDCheckout transactions, which is what our payment provider, InComm, charges us to facilitate transactions using InComm's network.
Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization)
Our cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization), which is primarily driven by transaction volume, consists primarily of direct costs related to selling Bitcoin and operating our network of kiosks. Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) includes the cost of Bitcoin, fees paid to obtain Bitcoin, gains on sales of Bitcoin on an exchange, fees paid to operate the software on the BTMs, rent paid for floorspace for BTMs, fees paid to transfer Bitcoin to users, cost of BTM repair and maintenance, and the cost of armored trucks to collect and transport cash deposited into the BTMs.
Our costs associated with a BDCheckout transaction are lower than costs associated with a BTM transaction, primarily due to significantly greater operating expenses associated with the BTMs, including cash collection fees and short-term lease payments to the retail locations where the kiosks are placed. However, the profitability of the two services is similar because of the higher markup that Bitcoin Depot applies to BTM transactions to support the higher costs associated therewith.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenses related to our customer support, marketing, finance, legal, compliance, operations, human resources, and administrative personnel. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include costs related to fees paid for professional services, including legal, tax, and accounting services.
Depreciation and amortization include depreciation on computer hardware and software, BTMs (including both BTMs owned by us and those subject to finance leases), office furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements and amortization of intangible assets.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) includes interest expense, the impact of lease modifications, gains and losses on Bitcoin treasury investment holdings, and gains and losses on foreign currency transactions.
Interest expense consists primarily of the interest expense on our borrowings and our finance leases and loss on extinguishment of debt.

Revenue
Revenue increased by $27.2 million, or 20.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in total kiosks in operation during 2025, and an increase in the median transaction size.
Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization)
Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased by $19.5 million, or 17.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the increase in transaction volume.

Floorspace Leases
Our floorspace lease expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 2.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was due to more favorable lease terms on leases in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024.

Kiosk Operations
Our kiosk operations costs increased by $0.9 million or 17.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our kiosk operations consisted of armored cash collection, bank fees, software costs, insurance and repair and maintenance. The increase in kiosk operations costs was attributable to the growth in active kiosks deployed in 2025 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Operating expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.7 million, or 11.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was driven by higher share-based compensation and indirect taxes incurred in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Other (expense) income
Other expense increased by $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by increased interest expense, partially offset by the recognition of a $0.7 million unrealized gain on Bitcoin held for investment.

Floorspace Leases
Our floorspace lease expenses increased by $1.3 million, or 4.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was attributable to the growth in active kiosks deployed in 2025 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Kiosk Operations
Our kiosk operations costs increased by $1.7 million or 10.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our kiosk operations consisted of armored cash collection, bank fees, software costs, insurance and repair and maintenance. The increase in kiosk operations costs was attributable to the growth in active kiosks deployed in 2025 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Operating expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.9 million, or 2.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher legal services expenses in the nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Other (expense) income
Other expenses decreased by $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by the recognition of a $1.9 million unrealized gain on Bitcoin held for investment, partially offset by higher interest expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2025, we had working capital of approximately $37.1 million, which included cash and cash equivalents and other current assets of approximately $79.2 million, offset by accounts payable and other current liabilities of approximately $42.1 million. We reported net income of approximately $30.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
At December 31, 2024, we had negative working capital of approximately $(6.3) million, which included cash and cash equivalents and other current assets of approximately $34.3 million, offset by accounts payable and other current liabilities of approximately $40.6 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, we had positive cash flow from operations of $33.0 million and $17.3 million, respectively.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash provided by operations, will be sufficient to meet our needs for at least the next 12 months.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our revenue growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development efforts and the timing and extent of additional capital expenditures to purchase additional kiosks and invest in the expansion of our products and services. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. If additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to do so on acceptable terms or
-45-
at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Gross Profit
We define Adjusted Gross Profit (a non-GAAP financial measure) as revenue less cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) and depreciation and amortization adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization. We believe Adjusted Gross Profit provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included Adjusted Gross Profit in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because it is a key measurement used internally by management to measure the efficiency of our business. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on U.S. GAAP results and using Adjusted Gross Profit on a supplemental basis. Our computation of Adjusted Gross Profit may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate this measure in the same fashion. You should review the reconciliation of Gross Profit to Adjusted Gross Profit below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) as net income before interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring expenses, unrealized gains and losses on cryptocurrency held for investment (as a result of adopting ASU 2023-08 on January 1, 2025), share-based compensation, and miscellaneous cost adjustments.
These items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included Adjusted EBITDA in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because it is a key measurement used internally by management to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance and perform strategic and financial planning. However, you should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. The presentation of this measure should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on U.S. GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate this measure in the same fashion. You should review the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Sources of Liquidity
Credit Agreement
On June 23, 2023, the Company amended and restated its credit agreement (the "Amended and Restated Note") with its existing lender. Under the Amended and Restated Note, the Company refinanced $20.8 million of the note which is subject to an annual interest at a rate of 17% per annum. The Company is required to make monthly interest payments and fixed principal payments every six months beginning on December 15, 2023 through June 15, 2026. In connection with the Amended and Restated Note, the Company repaid approximately $16.4 million of the outstanding principal balance, refinanced $20.8 million of the outstanding principal balance and paid an exit fee of $2.3 million. The Amended and Restated Note matures on June 23, 2026, at which time, any outstanding principal balance and any accrued interest become due. Additionally, the Company is required to pay an exit fee of $1.8 million upon maturity or prepayment and accordingly, has included this amount in the note payable, non-current in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In conjunction with the transaction, Legacy Bitcoin Depot and BT Assets, Inc. were substituted for BT OpCo and BT HoldCo, LLC respectively. The Amended and Restated Note is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of BT HoldCo, LLC and Mintz Assets, Inc., Express Vending, Inc., Intuitive Software, LLC, Digital Gold Ventures, Inc. and BitAccess Inc. The Company is subject to certain financial covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Note, which require BT HoldCo and certain of its subsidiaries to maintain certain cash balances, and a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, in addition to customary administrative covenants. The Company accounted for the Amended and Restated Note as a debt modification in accordance with ASC 470, Debt.
On March 26, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Note dated June 23, 2023 (the "Second Amended and Restated Note") to provide an additional $15.7 million in principal financing. This amendment increased the aggregate principal amount of the term loan facility to $35.6 million which consists of $19.9 million outstanding under the original loan and $15.7 million in additional principal resulting in net cash flow of $15.2 million related to the amendment. The Company accounted for the Second Amended and Restated Note as an extinguishment of debt in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. As such, the Company recognized the outstanding deferred financing costs of $3.2 million as a loss on extinguishment of debt in interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income which consisted of a $2.7 million write off unamortized deferred loan costs and $0.5 million in loan origination fees related to the amendment.
On March 14, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Note ("Amendment No.1 of the Second Amended and Restated Note"). Pursuant to Amendment No.1 of the Second Amended and Restated Note, the maturity date of the loans was extended from June 23, 2026 to December 15, 2027 and the amortization schedule was revised to reflect the extended maturity date.
We began entering into kiosk franchise profit sharing arrangements in 2024. Under the terms of the agreements, the third parties receive a share in the profits generated by a group of specifically identified kiosks for a specified period of time with the consideration received up front. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into five kiosk franchise profit sharing
-47-
arrangements. We recorded debt of $20.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as a result of these franchise profit sharing arrangements, maturing in March, April, June and August of 2033, with principal and interest paid monthly via profit sharing payments. We did not enter into any new kiosk franchise profit sharing arrangements during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a $27.6 million increase in net income driven by improved gross margin in 2025.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a $7.9 million increase in acquisition of BTC investment.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $14.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a $20.8 million increase in proceeds from equity sales and a $12.6 million decrease in distributions, offset by a $9.8 million increase in payments on notes payable and $9.1 million paid in connection with the Up-C transaction.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of our operating and finance lease obligations was approximately $5.0 million. As of September 30, 2025, we had no open purchase orders for kiosks.
See Note 13 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about our notes payable.
See Note 15 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about our tax receivable agreement.
See Note 18 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about our leases.
Litigation
From time to time in the regular course of our business, we are involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal matters. Except as noted below, there are no material legal proceedings pending or known by us to be contemplated to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject to.

See Note 18 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about our material commitments and contingencies, including litigation.
We believe that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending litigation have been made for probable losses that are reasonably estimable. These contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and we are unable to estimate the amount or range of loss, if any, in excess of amounts accrued. We do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition but could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in a given quarter or year.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Pronouncement Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". The amendments require entities to disclose significant segment expenses impacting profit and loss that are regularly provided to the CODM. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The update is required to be applied retrospectively to prior periods presented, based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The amendments are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this accounting standard effective January 1, 2024, which resulted in additional segment disclosures primarily related to significant expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08 "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60) Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets". ASU 2023-08 requires entities to measure crypto assets that meet the scope criteria at fair value and to reflect changes in fair value in net income each reporting period. The amendments in ASU 2023-08 also require entities to present crypto assets measured at fair value separately from other intangible assets on the balance sheet and changes in the fair value measurement of crypto assets separately from changes in the carrying amounts of other intangible assets on the income statement. The amendments in the ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. We adopted the new accounting standard on a modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2025.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)". The ASU requires companies to break out their income tax expense, income tax rate reconciliation and income tax payments made in more detail. For public companies, the requirements will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this accounting standard, effective January 1, 2025, with no impact on interim financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncement Pending Adoption
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06 "Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosures Update and Simplification Initiative". The guidance amends certain disclosure and presentation requirements related to the statement of cash flows, accounting changes and error corrections, earnings per share, interim reporting, commitments, debt, equity, derivatives, transfers and services and various industry specific guidance. For entities subject to the SEC's existing disclosure requirements, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the existing disclosure requirements, the amendments will not become effective. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is still assessing the impacts to its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03. "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)". The ASU requires expanded disclosures and disaggregation of certain expenses included within the income statement. The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still assessing the impacts of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
-49-
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity". The ASU eliminates the presumption that the primary beneficiary of a VIE is automatically the accounting acquirer when a VIE business is obtained primarily through an exchange of equity interests. ASU 2025-03 becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still assessing the impacts to its consolidated financial statements.
