As part of the agreement to acquire GSR II Meteora (GSRM) for a total of $885 million, Bitcoin Depot will become a publicly traded business that is listed on the Nasdaq.

Bitcoin Depot has announced a strategic partnership agreement (SPAC) with GSRM, and following the transaction, BTM has secured an equity value of $885 million.

Following its merger with the blank check company GSR II Meteora, the cryptocurrency ATM operator Bitcoin Depot, which is based in the United States, made the announcement on Thursday that the company will soon become a publicly-listed firm (Nasdaq: GSRM). SPAC mergers have become a popular vehicle for cryptocurrency companies that are interested in getting listed more quickly than through the use of conventional initial public offering (IPO) tactics. According to statistics compiled by coinatmradar.com, Bitcoin Depot is the company that operates the most automated teller machines (ATMs) worldwide. The company has close to 7,000 of these machines spread across the globe.
