How to Buy Bitcoin at a Cincinnati Athena ATM

Choose Buy Bitcoin and verify your phone using the 6 digit code we send you. Enter your amount, tap Scan Wallet QR Code, and hold up the receive QR from your wallet app. Insert your bills one at a time, read the summary, finish and take the printed receipt.

Phone, wallet app and cash are all you need. Larger transactions ask for valid ID, and you must be 18 or over.

Check the Hours Before You Go

4 of our 11 Cincinnati machines run 24 hours, so most follow the hours of the shop they sit in. The listings above show today’s hours for each one.

More Than Bitcoin

Cincinnati machines also send money home, sell gift cards and top up prepaid phones, all with cash. The services for each kiosk are listed above.

Staying Safe

Imposter scams are on the rise. Someone calls saying they are the police, a jury duty clerk, a government office or the IRS, and tells you to settle a fine or a bond in Bitcoin that day. It is not real. No court, agency or police department takes payment at a Bitcoin ATM, and Athena will never call, text or email you asking for a wallet address or a payment.

If someone you have not met is telling you to buy Bitcoin, stop and call us at 312-690-4466 before you insert any cash. Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed. You can read how these play out on our pages about police scams, government scams and IRS scams, or see every scam we track in the scam help center.
