London had the most companies that accepted cryptocurrency in the UK in 2021, but Manchester had a higher number of firms compared to other cities of equal size. This is according to open-source tracking, which tried to list how many companies either had an in-store ATM or accepted them for POS payments. The figures shown here are different from a source that investigates Bitcoin ATMs in the United Kingdom: Although the figure for the capital was the same, a big difference can be observed for second city Birmingham.

Supplementary notes
The numbers provided are Statista estimates based on information from OpenMap.org, using software from Nominatim which were then compared against figures from SimpleMaps.com.
The information provided here comes from an open-source platform, meaning that people can add or remove companies at their own behest. This might lead to some countries having more entries than others (e.g. the website being more known/used in country X than in country Y), or that some figures have not been updated (e.g. a company was added at some point, but the business dissolved at a later date and had not been removed from the database). Additionally, the cryptocurrency market is a volatile market that is difficult to map out. For these reasons, all figures provided are estimates and may vary in accuracy.
