The installation of Bitcoin ATMs inside post offices is a component of a larger initiative to use digital technology to enhance Romania's postal service.
In collaboration with the Bitcoin Romania (BTR) exchange, Poșta Română, Romania's national postal service, set up its first Bitcoin ATM at a branch site in the city of Tulcea.
The postal service announced that Alexandria, Piatra Neamț, Botoșani, and Nădlac will be the next places to get Bitcoin ATMs.
The ATMs are a component of a larger initiative to modernize the nation's infrastructure using digital technologies and increase service availability in underdeveloped regions.
The increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies by national governments, parliamentarians, and public institutions in response to the growing demand for digital assets is shown in the presence of Bitcoin ATMs within national post office sites.
Bitcoin use is increasing, but the total addressable market remains modest.
Enterprises that accept Bitcoin as payment, nation-states purchasing Bitcoin for their national strategic reserves, enterprises or institutions accumulating Bitcoin as a treasury asset, and individual investors are all contributing to the continuously increasing usage of Bitcoin.
The cryptocurrency exchange Binance reported in January that there were about 30 million BTC wallets with values greater than $100. This was a 25% rise from the previous year.
Even in nations with the highest acceptance rates, Bitcoin adoption is still low globally despite this expanding trend.
According to a Q1 2025 study by the Bitcoin financial services business River, just 4% of people worldwide owned Bitcoin, with the United States having the largest number of Bitcoin holders.
According to the survey, 14% of Americans were predicted to own Bitcoin in 2025.
According to the researchers, institutional under-allocation and low overall retail adoption have kept Bitcoin's total addressable market far below 1%.
According to the estimate, Bitcoin can fetch almost $225 trillion in value, or 50% of the store-of-value market. Cash, stocks, real estate, precious metals, and artwork are examples of these asset groups that are held for savings or price growth.
The current market value of Bitcoin is somewhat more than $2 trillion. According to River, this implies that Bitcoin still has a lot of space to expand.
