The story

Byte Federal started as a Bitcoin ATM operator, building a nationwide network of crypto kiosks enabling fiat-to-crypto conversion. It has since expanded into a broader crypto infrastructure company—adding self-custody wallets (ByteVault), a custodial on-ramp wallet (ByteWallet via Zero Hash), and a Bitcoin merchant payment system (ByteConnect POS). The company is now positioning itself as an end-to-end Bitcoin/crypto infrastructure provider for both consumers and businesses, including a developer API platform and an Australian market expansion.
