The Romanian national postal service, Poșta Română, has partnered with the Bitcoin Romania exchange (BTR) to install the first Bitcoin ATM in a branch located in Tulcea.
According to the postal service's announcement, Bitcoin (BTC) ATMs will be installed next in post offices in Alexandria, Piatra Neamț, Botoșani, and Nădlac.
These ATMs are part of a broader initiative to comprehensively transform existing infrastructure using digital technology and to expand services to underserved areas of the country.
The Bitcoin ATM located within the national post office reflects the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrencies by lawmakers, the national government, and public institutions, responding to the growing demand for digital assets.
The adoption of Bitcoin is steadily increasing through individual investors, businesses accepting BTC as a payment method, companies or institutions accumulating BTC as treasury assets, and countries purchasing BTC as part of their national strategic reserves.
In January of this year, cryptocurrency exchange Binance reported that the number of BTC wallets holding over $100 grew to nearly 30 million, a year-on-year increase of 25%.
Despite this growth trend, the overall adoption rate of Bitcoin globally remains very low, even in the countries with the highest adoption rates.
According to a report by Bitcoin financial services company River in the first quarter of 2025, only 4% of the global population owns BTC, with the highest concentration of Bitcoin holders in the United States.
The report states that approximately 14% of individuals in the U.S. will own BTC by 2025.
Researchers point out that due to low retail adoption rates and insufficient institutional allocation, the total market size of Bitcoin remains far below 1%.
River's analysis assumes that Bitcoin could capture 50% of the value storage market, which is approximately $225 trillion in value. These asset classes include cash, stocks, real estate, precious metals, and art used for price appreciation or savings.
Bitcoin's current market capitalization is slightly above $2 trillion. River concludes that there is still significant room for growth for Bitcoin.
