Bitcoin Well is a publicly traded Canadian Bitcoin company, established in 2013.

We started with Bitcoin ATMs in 2014. Today we operate over 160 across Canada. In 2022 our focus moved from actively growing our ATM network to building and growing the Bitcoin Portal. The Bitcoin ATM network continues to empower our privacy-focused initiatives on the Bitcoin Portal in Canada.

The Bitcoin Portal is a bitcoin-only platform that empowers people to replace their bank account with bitcoin in self-custody. Our non-custodial platform allows Canadians to buy and sell bitcoin while also using bitcoin to pay their bills and send money to friends; all with their personal bitcoin wallets.

We expanded the Bitcoin Portal to all 50 states in the USA in 2024 and are now building out these same services in the USA. One day, the entire world will be able to replace their bank with Bitcoin Well.
