How to Buy Bitcoin at a Detroit Athena ATM

Tap Buy Bitcoin and verify your phone with the 6 digit code we text you. Enter your amount, pick Scan Wallet QR Code, and show the receive QR from your wallet app. Insert your bills one at a time, review the summary on screen, press Finish and keep your receipt.

You need your phone, a Bitcoin wallet app and cash. Valid ID is required above a certain amount, and you must be 18 or over.

Open Around the Clock

15 of our 26 Detroit machines run 24 hours, which covers the night shift either side of the clock. The rest follow store hours, shown in each listing above.

More Than Bitcoin

Detroit machines also handle remittances, gift cards and prepaid phone top ups with cash. The services for each one 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.
