“Bitcoin is one of the most exciting innovations over the last decade, but adoption has been limited by trust and accessibility. We wanted to expand our footprint so anyone can buy at familiar locations they drive or walk by daily,” said Chris Yim, Co-Founder & CEO of LibertyX. “Now, everyone is only a few miles away from owning bitcoin and becoming part of its global community. Buying is as easy as scanning a barcode while shopping for groceries.”

LibertyX launched America’s first bitcoin ATM in 2014. Four years later, the company announced the first traditional ATM integration. Today, most Americans are minutes away from an ATM or cashier that sells bitcoin via LibertyX. “LibertyX is the fastest way to buy for a wallet you control,” said Kyle Powers, Co-Founder and Chairman of LibertyX.
Yim added, “At its core, bitcoin is a global and inclusive technology. Anyone with a mobile phone and an internet connection can store, send, receive and transact value with bitcoin. To that end, LibertyX is proud to offer 20,000 cash-accepting retail locations and 5,000 debit-accepting ATMs across its network. No matter your payment preference, you can conveniently purchase bitcoin from a trusted local store.”
To celebrate the nationwide launch of “Bitcoin on Every Block”, LibertyX is waiving conversion fees from select retailers through July 31, 2020. The only fees are the $4.95 retailer service fee and customer selected miner fee.
