Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs launches 400-plus US crypto ATMs charging a flat 5% fee

Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs, a Las Vegas-based operator, announced on October 1, 2026 that it had opened more than 400 cryptocurrency ATMs across the United States on its first day, placing it among the largest Bitcoin ATM operators in the country by footprint. The machines sit in convenience stores, gas stations and shopping centers, with units in Florida, California, Arizona and Texas among other states, and the company describes the deployment as the first phase of a larger rollout. Customers pay cash to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and USDC at a stated flat 5% fee, and the operator says the fee and exchange rate appear on screen before the customer confirms; first-time users can register online in about two minutes to skip onboarding at the machine. Quincy Mathis, Operations Manager at Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs, said the company opened with four hundred machines rather than a pilot. All three outlets — Brave New Coin, Finbold and CryptoPotato — carry the identical company announcement, distributed by Chainwire and credited as a press release, so this is a single sourced claim rather than independent verification; the 400-plus count and the flat 5% rate are company statements that none of the outlets independently checked, and no competing or corrected figures appeared. What remains open is how many of the 400 machines are actually live and processing transactions, whether the 5% rate holds across all locations and all four assets, and how many of the machines are owned by the operator rather than placed through host venues.
