Bitbase

Bitbase is a crypto asset retail network that started in Spain around 2017, combining physical stores, self-service machines and online services. It currently operates 23 stores where specialists assist users in buying and selling with cash, card or bank transfer, and more than 150 machine access points, which the company describes as the largest crypto ATM operation in Spain and the third largest in Europe. Online it offers quote-based buying and selling and sells hardware wallets and related products. Its own utility token BTBS has a total supply of 100 million and is used for discounts, benefits and rewards inside the network, with store and machine expansion driven through franchises and host-location agreements.

Compliance is the key variable: from 1 July 2026 Bitbase paused its exchange service and stopped accepting new orders while completing its authorisation process under the EU crypto-asset market regulatory framework, so whether stores and machines still process trades during this period depends on official service notices. The model targets retail users who want to trade crypto face to face with cash, and machine pricing is typically above order-book exchange levels, so the final amount received and the fee should be checked before confirming.
