During the year ended December 31, 2025, state taxes in Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, California, Arizona, and Texas made up the majority of the tax effect in this category.
In 2025, the effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. federal rate of 21.0% primarily due to income or loss not being taxed due to the income and loss flowing through to its partners
(non-controlling
interest), and differences related to foreign operations, posting of valuation allowance in Canada, state taxes, valuation allowance release and posting of deferred balances from the merger BT HoldCo into Bitcoin Depot Inc., and nondeductible items.
