Bitcoin Depot, Inc was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the TX Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on July 8, 2025. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is June 23, 2024.
From the AG filing description
Bitcoin Depot, Inc operates as a prominent financial technology and cryptocurrency ATM operator, bridging the gap between traditional fiat currency and digital assets like Bitcoin. Because of the nature of its services, the company functions much like a regulated financial institution or money services business, facilitating cash-to-crypto transactions across thousands of kiosk locations. To comply with stringent federal and state anti-money laundering (AML) laws and Know Your Customer (KYC) mandates, Bitcoin Depot collects and retains vast repositories of highly sensitive personal and financial identifying data from its users, including government-issued identification documents, facial biometric verification records, tax identification numbers, and detailed transactional histories. In 2025, Bitcoin Depot reported a significant data security incident to the Texas Attorney General, signaling a critical breakdown in its digital infrastructure. While the exact vector of the compromise—whether through sophisticated external malware, unauthorized database access, or third-party vendor vulnerabilities—continues to be scrutinized, security incidents affecting cryptocurrency and financial technology platforms typically involve unauthorized actors breaching centralized data repositories where KYC records and user profiles are stored. Financial technology companies remain prime targets for malicious actors seeking high-value financial records and identity credentials that can be rapidly monetized on the dark web. The exposure of consumer data in a financial technology breach carries severe, long-term risks for affected individuals. Compromised data fields often include full legal names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, government-issued photo identification, and banking or transactional details. When government IDs and personal identifiers are leaked alongside cryptocurrency transaction histories, victims face an immediate and elevated threat of sophisticated identity theft, financial account takeover, and fraudulent loan or credit applications. Furthermore, because cryptocurrency transactions are fundamentally irreversible, individuals whose personal data is compromised in connection with digital asset platforms are exceptionally vulnerable to targeted phishing scams and financial fraud. As a financial services and cryptocurrency platform handling sensitive consumer information, Bitcoin Depot was legally obligated to implement and maintain robust, industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect its customers' data. These duties are governed by federal standards under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, and applicable state data protection statutes, which mandate the encryption of sensitive data in transit and at rest, regular vulnerability testing, and strict access controls. The occurrence of a data breach strongly indicates a potential failure of these legal obligations, suggesting that the company may have neglected critical security protocols required to shield consumer records from unauthorized intrusion. Receiving a data breach notification letter from Bitcoin Depot is a formal acknowledgment that your private financial and personal information was compromised due to corporate negligence. Legally, this notification establishes the necessary standing to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the company accountable for failing to safeguard your data. Under the law, victims are not required to prove that they have already suffered actual financial loss or identity theft to seek legal recourse; the increased risk of future harm is sufficient. Our firm investigates these data breach matters on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket and owe no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Based on the data types reported in this filing:
Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
You may have been affected by the Bitcoin Depot, Inc data breach if:
Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions
Courts recognize that the time spent monitoring accounts, placing credit freezes, and dealing with the aftermath of a breach has real economic value. This category of damages is recoverable even without direct financial loss.
Professional credit monitoring services cost $10–$40 per month. Identity theft restoration services, if needed, can cost hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. Courts have awarded these costs as direct damages in SSN breach cases.
Direct financial losses resulting from the breach — unauthorized charges, fraudulent transfers, or fees incurred through fraud — are recoverable as compensatory damages. Banks may reverse some charges; a class action recovers the remainder and associated costs.
Several state data breach laws provide for statutory minimum damages — fixed amounts recoverable per affected individual regardless of actual loss. These provisions exist specifically to make legal action viable for victims who have not yet experienced direct harm.
Note: an attorney general breach filing does not by itself establish a settlement fund, a payment amount, or a claim deadline. If an official settlement notice is later issued, rely on that notice for payment details and deadlines.
Applicable State Law
This breach was reported under the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act, which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.
No. Under Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.
Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.
Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.
Banks may reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not obligated to compensate you for time lost, stress, or indirect damages. A class action claim against the breached company can recover those additional categories of harm.
Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Bitcoin Depot, Inc does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Bitcoin Depot, Inc during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
