The Company advocates long-term perspective as Bitcoin adoption continues to grow
MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / December 18, 2025 / Athena Bitcoin Global (OTC PINK:ABIT) ("Athena" or the "Company"), the third largest global operator of Bitcoin kiosks and digital asset fintech solutions, marks the twelfth anniversary of HODL Day on December 18 by highlighting the importance of education, long-term thinking, and informed decision-making in Bitcoin ownership.
The term "HODL" originated from a 2013 Bitcoin forum post in which user GameKyuubi misspelled the word "hold." The term has become a well-known strategy among cryptocurrency investors, symbolizing a long-term approach to Bitcoin ownership, emphasizing patience during market volatility, and discouraging emotionally-driven panic selling.
"Long-term holding is rooted in education, risk awareness, and confidence in Bitcoin's fundamentals, not short-term price movements," said Matias Goldenhorn, CEO of Athena Bitcoin. "Bitcoin rewards patience and preparation. Our goal is to help people participate safely and responsibly with knowledge and a long-term mindset."
Athena Bitcoin operates one of the largest Bitcoin ATM networks across the Americas and emphasizes user education as a core part of open and responsible access. The Company provides clear guidance at its kiosks and online to help users recognize common scams, help users understand volatility, and make informed choices aligned with their financial goals.
As Bitcoin adoption continues to grow globally, Athena remains committed to a delivering a positive customer experience by providing secure and user-friendly access to Bitcoin and enabling financial empowerment through informed and deliberate participation in a decentralized financial system.
