The Case Assignment
Where would you place Coinsource’s next Bitcoin ATM and why?
Case Synopsis
Since 2015, Coinsource has been able to validate the demand for easy-to-use Bitcoin ATMs for consumers. In 2020 Coinsource launched a B2B approach, which enables enterprise customers from around the world to leverage their technology and infrastructure to own and operate their own network of Bitcoin ATMs. This has drastically increased the amount of Coinsource Bitcoin ATMs in the market.
There are currently over 14,000 Bitcoin ATMs globally; 6,000 of those are located in the US alone. Bitcoin ATMs are growing 250% faster compared to the launch of traditional ATMs in the 1980s and 1990s. Coinsource anticipates there will be over 100,000 Bitcoin ATMs within the next 3-5 years and aims to control that market.
The goal for Coinsource is to place Bitcoin ATM kiosks in targeted locations that will gain traction quickly. Coinsource needs your help in conducting market research and finding the best locations for their new ATM kiosks.
