Bitcoin Depot Inc. filed for bankruptcy and shut down its bitcoin ATM network, citing a 49% drop in first-quarter revenue and an $80.7 million decline from a year earlier. The company reported an $9.5 million net loss and warned of “substantial doubt” about its future. Shares last traded at 56.3 cents, valuing the company at $38 million.
