Square's business technology platform, Block, plans to introduce bitcoin payments for merchants using the Square Point of Sale app.
The new offering, expected to roll out in the second half of 2026, aims to enable faster payments for small businesses and provide economic empowerment.
Customers will be able to pay with bitcoin through Square's integration and Lightning Network for near-instant settlement by scanning a QR code at checkout.
This initiative builds upon Square's existing Bitcoin Conversions features to support a decentralized, low-cost money system for Square sellers.
