Dave Wagner, controller of La Crosse-based Kwik Trip, said:
We are delighted to be partnering with Coinsource and facilitating simple access to bitcoin for our customers. We understand Coinsource’s aim of providing the fastest, easiest and most secure way to buy and sell cryptocurrencies and how a key part of this is placing the bitcoin ATMs in convenient and easily accessible locations.

As an added benefit, we know our customers are getting the best deal since Coinsource has the lowest proven rates plus industry-leading compliance, which really sealed the deal.

Partnering with Kwik Trip made perfect sense as it enables us to continue our mission of making crypto accessible to every American at phenomenally low rates, especially at a time when traditional economic systems have shown weaknesses. It is our top priority to place our machines in essential, convenient locations, because bitcoin is becoming increasingly essential to Americans.
