Alaska residents who lost money in scams involving Bitcoin Depot cryptocurrency ATMs have until July 2026 to file compensation claims.

The deadline follows a settlement between Alaska authorities and Bitcoin Depot over alleged consumer protection issues.

"Eligible consumers should submit their claims before the deadline," state officials said.

The claims process is open to people who can show they suffered financial losses linked to qualifying Bitcoin Depot transactions.

State officials said supporting documents may be required to verify each claim.

Bitcoin Depot operates one of the largest cryptocurrency ATM networks in the United States.

Authorities continue to warn consumers that scammers often direct victims to cryptocurrency ATMs because transactions are difficult to reverse.

At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $64,606.83.
