Convenience store brand Sheetz has announced that it will be installing bitcoin ATMs at six of its locations in the United States to offer shoppers with a new method to access their digital currency.
The ATMs will be from Coinsource and will allow customers to make daily transactions ranging from $5 to $5,000; users only need to create an online account with Coinsource prior for identity confirmation purposes. The announcement comes on the heels of the Circle K announcement of bitcoin kiosks that will be launched at 20 locations in Nevada and Arizona through a partnership with DigitalMint.
Assistant Vice President of Brand Ryan Sheetz spoke on the new bitcoin ATMs saying, "As cryptocurrency increases in popularity and demand, we are excited to add this service in our continual mission to be the ultimate one-stop-shop."
