FBI: Scammers net over $333 million from Bitcoin ATM scams in 2025
The FBI says over $333 million was lost to Bitcoin ATM scams in the U.S. in 2025 as fraud using crypto kiosks rises.
Fraudsters bilked Americans out of more than $333 million in 2025 using Bitcoin ATM scams, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI says scams involving cryptocurrency kiosks where users insert cash and send it to a digital wallet have surged as criminals exploit the speed and irreversibility of these transactions. There are over 45,000 Bitcoin ATMs in the U.S., and investigators report that once money is sent, it is extremely difficult to recover.
