## Exhibit 99.1

**Bitcoin Depot Announces Executive Chair & CEO Transition; Names Alex Holmes as Chairman & CEO**

*Board Unanimously Appoints Veteran Fintech Executive with Deep Expertise in Global Payments, Digital Assets, and Regulatory Compliance*

Atlanta, Georgia, March 24, 2026 — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM) ("Bitcoin Depot" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM operator and fintech company, today announced that Scott Buchanan has decided to step down as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately, to pursue a new opportunity outside of the Company. The board of directors thank Scott for his many contributions and wish him well in his next chapter.

Effective immediately, Alex Holmes has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Holmes brings decades of executive leadership in global payments and fintech, most recently serving as Chairman and CEO of MoneyGram International, where he led the company's transformation into a modern global fintech operating across more than 200 countries. The board is confident in his ability to lead Bitcoin Depot through its next phase of growth.

This transition comes as Bitcoin Depot continues to expand beyond its core BTM network into a broader suite of fintech and digital asset products, following recent strategic initiatives to diversify its platform and revenue streams.

Concurrently, Bitcoin Depot founder Brandon Mintz will transition from Executive Chair to a non-executive member of the board and is expected to serve as an advisor to the CEO. Mintz will work directly alongside Holmes, providing strategic continuity and institutional knowledge as the company executes its next phase. As the founder who built Bitcoin Depot into one of the largest Bitcoin ATM networks in the United States, Mintz remains a long-term shareholder.

Over a sixteen-year tenure at MoneyGram International, Holmes held executive roles as CFO and COO before serving as Chairman and CEO from 2016 to 2024, where he led the company's transformation, earning a reputation for operational excellence, rigorous risk management, and global regulatory compliance expertise. Holmes most recently served as Executive Vice Chairman of United Texas Bank, a leader in correspondent banking and U.S. dollar clearing for crypto-focused institutions, where he also serves on the Board Risk Committee.

"During my time on Bitcoin Depot's board of directors, I've developed a deep understanding and appreciation for our business, our customers, and our positioning in the market," said Alex Holmes, Chairman and CEO of Bitcoin Depot. "As I step into the role, my priorities are operational stability, regulatory progress, and accelerating the Company's evolution into a more diversified fintech platform. I look forward to working closely with the team and keeping stakeholders informed as we execute against these priorities."

Bradley Strock, lead independent director of Bitcoin Depot, commented: "Alex has been a trusted voice on our board. We are excited to have someone of his caliber and experience step in to lead the company at this important juncture. His experience navigating complex, highly regulated global businesses, combined with his firsthand track record integrating blockchain technology into mainstream financial services and his deep public market experience, makes him the right person to lead Bitcoin Depot as it scales beyond its BTM foundation into a broader, more diversified fintech platform."

Mintz commented: "Bitcoin Depot is my life's work, and I remain deeply invested in its success as a shareholder, a director, and as an advisor to

Alex and the leadership team. I have full confidence in this transition and in the path ahead for this company and the people who have built it."
