Bitcoin Depot Inc. [Nasdaq: BTM] is North America’s largest operator of Bitcoin ATMs, with over 9,000 machines across the United States and Canada. However, the company recently announced changes to its executive team.
Amidst continuous regulatory concerns for Bitcoin Depot, Scott Buchanan resigned, and Alex Holmes, a former CEO of MoneyGram, was named the new CEO. Holmes emphasized that he wanted to improve operations and make sure that rules were followed.
In addition, Brandon Mintz, a co-founder, resigned from his position as executive chairman to serve on the board of directors. They implemented the changes in accordance with an earlier plan from November 2025.
What’s fueling the 30% revenue decline projection?
However, Yahoo Finance’s analysis estimates a 30% to 40% decline in revenue in 2026 due to regulatory issues. For instance, Connecticut suspended BTM operations in the state. The suspension was a result of excessive fees and failure to refund those defrauded.
In the first three quarters of 2025, BTM managed to record more than $150 million, but the fourth quarter earnings declined by about $50 million. Notably, earnings per share for Q1 2026 were estimated at negative 0.69.
To be specific, BTM’s average estimate for Q1 2026 ranged between $98 million and $133 million. The continuous loss of revenue since the end of the third quarter in 2025 has contributed to the decline in price of BTM since mid-June.
BTM stock losing correlation with BTC price
The price action of Bitcoin Depot stock has been trending down a channel for more than nine months. BTM stock was at $2.62 as of writing.
The stock has lost its correlation with the Bitcoin [BTC] price, with the coefficient at negative 0.30. This explains why the Bitcoin price has been rising recently while the firm’s stock has been declining.
Every time BTM has hit the resistance of the channel, it has resulted in a lower low, though it has been bouncing off its slanting support level. For the price to be bullish, the stock has to break and stay above the descending channel.
Final Summary
- Bitcoin Depot has changed its top executives following a memo dated November 2025.
- BTM projects a decline of 30% in revenue, which has been evident in its stock price.
