Bitcoin Depot will merge with GSR II Meteora Acquisition Corp (GSRM) to become Bitcoin Depot Inc. and trade under ticker symbol BTM on the Nasdaq U.S. stock exchange.

“We are always looking to expand our reach so as many people as possible can access cryptocurrency to control their own money and conduct easier and simpler financial transactions,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO and founder of Bitcoin Depot, per the release.
