Walmart Hosts Over 200 Bitcoin ATMs

Retail giant Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT) has begun hosting bitcoin ATMs in dozens of its U.S. stores, according to a report from Coindesk. 

The article on the Coindesk website stated that Walmart customers can purchase bitcoin from the Coinstar machines inside the company's large stores. Coindesk said it has verified that the machines work by buying a small amount of BTC. 

Walmart's communications director Molly Blakeman said it was a pilot program with Coinme, which calls itself the largest cryptocurrency network.
