Gate News 消息，3 月 25 日，北美最大比特币ATM运营商 Bitcoin Depot 宣布更换首席执行官，前 MoneyGram CEO Alex Holmes 接任，原CEO Scott Buchanan 已辞去职务。此次管理层调整距离此前公布的继任计划不到三个月，反映出公司在业务与监管环境变化中的战略再评估。
公告显示，Scott Buchanan 的离职并未涉及公司内部争议。与此同时，创始人 Brandon Mintz 也卸任执行董事长，仅保留董事会席位并担任顾问角色。新任CEO Alex Holmes 拥有超过16年支付行业经验，其上任后将重点推动运营稳定、合规能力提升以及业务多元化转型。
此次人事变动正值比特币ATM行业面临更严格监管。近期，美国康涅狄格州已关闭 Bitcoin Depot 在当地的ATM业务，原因包括收费过高及未妥善处理欺诈投诉。类似监管行动也扩展至其他运营商，加州对相关企业开出高额罚款，部分公司甚至考虑出售资产。
在财务层面，Bitcoin Depot 已向投资者预警，由于监管趋严及合规成本上升，公司核心收入可能在2026年下降30%至40%。市场情绪亦受到影响，公司股价近期跌至接近一年低点。
尽管该公司目前在全球运营超过9000台比特币ATM，但分析人士指出，传统加密自助终端模式正面临挑战。一方面，监管强化提升了运营门槛；另一方面，链上支付与数字钱包的普及正在削弱ATM的使用场景。
在此背景下，Bitcoin Depot推动向综合金融科技平台转型，或成为其应对行业结构变化的重要路径。
