Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced the appointment of Tony Gagliardi as Chief Compliance Officer, effective April 8, 2026.
In this role, Gagliardi will manage all aspects of Bitcoin Depot’s compliance program, overseeing the continued evolution of the Company’s compliance framework as regulatory expectations and state and federal requirements continue to develop. He will oversee the Company’s anti-money laundering (“AML”) and Know-Your-Customer programs, licensing and state-by-state regulatory compliance strategies, transaction monitoring, risk management, and the advancement of Bitcoin Depot’s consumer protection initiatives. Gagliardi will report directly to CEO Alex Holmes.
“Tony joins Bitcoin Depot during a pivotal period as we continue to enhance our compliance and consumer protection capabilities in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment,” said Holmes. “His expertise in regulatory matters and governance, along with his proven track record across financial services and digital assets, position him well to guide our compliance strategy as we further strengthen our leadership in responsible BTM operations.”
Gagliardi brings more than 15 years of experience building and leading compliance programs across banking, payments, fintech, and regulated digital assets. He has led global AML, fraud, and sanctions programs across both traditional finance and digital asset organizations and has navigated more than 12 major regulatory remediations. Prior to joining Bitcoin Depot, he held senior global compliance roles at leading regulated cryptocurrency firms, serving as Global Head of Sanctions at OKX, Director of Compliance Oversight at Paxos, and Global Head of Financial Crimes Compliance Governance at Coinbase. He brings additional experience from global financial institutions including HSBC and Standard Chartered.
“Bitcoin Depot has taken a proactive approach to compliance and consumer protection, and I’m excited to join the team at such an important time for the industry,” said Gagliardi. “I look forward to building on the Company’s strong foundation and continuing to enhance its compliance programs as the regulatory landscape evolves while supporting the Company’s continued growth and commitment to its customers.”
Gagliardi’s appointment reflects Bitcoin Depot’s continued focus on strengthening its compliance infrastructure and preventing fraud and other illicit activity. In February 2026, the Company initiated a phased rollout of a compliance enhancement requiring customer identification for every transaction at its kiosks. This initiative strengthens safeguards against potential misuse and positions Bitcoin Depot as the first major operator to implement per-transaction ID verification.
