According to Decrypt, Bitcoin ATM operator btc-42">Bitcoin Depot announced that CEO Scott Buchanan has resigned, with former MoneyGram CEO Alex Holmes taking over.

Buchanan has held several senior leadership positions at the company since 2019, and his resignation is not due to any disagreements with the company. Founder Brandon Mintz also stepped down as executive chairman but will remain on the board and continue to serve as an advisor. This personnel change comes less than three months after the company announced a succession plan last November. Bitcoin Depot is facing increasing regulatory pressure. Connecticut shut down the state's Bitcoin ATM operations last week, citing excessive fees and failure to refund fraud victims. The company warned investors that core revenue could decline by 30% to 40% this year due to the regulatory environment and compliance standards.
