Chief Executive Officer

Thanks, Cody, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for attending our first quarter conference call. Bitcoin Depot delivered a remarkable first quarter with 19% year-over-year revenue growth and record net income of $12.2 million. Consumer demand was quite strong with median transaction size of 46% year-over-year to $300 and total transaction volume moving steadily higher to $163.8 million. These results produced strong free cash flow, which we used to build cash and purchase more Bitcoin. This performance demonstrates the strength of our operating model, the success of our kiosk optimization strategy, and the powerful cash flow we can generate once fixed costs are covered. Let me provide more details on this performance. Our kiosk growth and optimization plan are showing the intended results. Q1 adjusted gross profit was up 92% year over year, and adjusted EBITDA was up over threefold to a record $20.3 million. These results should continue as this strategy unfolds. We ended Q1 with approximately 8,483 active machines and expect to see continued growth in kiosks for the remainder of the year. Now onto our BTM relocation strategy. Today, 3,200 of our kiosks have been installed for less than one year. As these machines ramp up, we expect to drive further cash flow as our Bitcoin ATMs typically see payback periods of less than eight months, regardless of Bitcoin price. As the largest BTM operator in North America, our scale compliance-first approach and longstanding retail partnerships continue to set us apart in a highly fragmented market. We remain focused on expanding market share and growing profitability. Now turning to an update on our growth strategy. First, international expansion. We have now deployed over 100 kiosks to support our ongoing launch in Australia this year. Australia is quickly emerging as a global hotspot for Bitcoin adoption. currently ranking third worldwide in total Bitcoin ATMs. We believe this represents a significant opportunity to establish a strong presence outside North America. While it's still early, we are encouraged by the retail partnerships and expansion opportunities we have identified so far. Beyond Australia, we are actively evaluating entry into at least two additional countries in 2025. Second, scaling our domestic footprint. We continue to deploy kiosks from the large inventory we secured last year. Once fully deployed, these units could bring their total active fleet to approximately 10,000 kiosks. This will enhance our reach and support further efficiencies across the business. Third, regulatory expansion into new markets. New York State remains one of the largest untapped markets for Bitcoin ATMs. We are in ongoing discussions with regulators and remain optimistic about obtaining a license to operate in the state in 2025. While there is no definitive timeline yet, we are encouraged by the progress and engagement so far. On a broader note, we continue to closely monitor the evolving regulatory environment at both the federal and state levels. Our strong compliance infrastructure, including rigorous KYC and AML protocols, continues to serve as a competitive advantage. We are actively engaging with regulators, including FinCEN and various state agencies, to help shape a responsible future for the industry. More broadly, the recent establishment of a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve highlights the growing institutional recognition of Bitcoin's role in the financial system. As a national leader in Bitcoin ATM deployment, We are prepared to support the shift by expanding access to digital assets for everyday consumers. We have also strengthened our leadership team with the appointments of David Gray as our Chief Financial Officer and Chris Ryan as our Chief Legal Officer. David brings more than 20 years of financial leadership experience. Chris brings deep expertise in legal and regulatory matters within FinTech. Their combined experience will be essential as we continue to grow. With that, I will turn it over to our CFO, David Gray, who will walk through our financial results in more detail. David?
