Square, the payments platform owned by Block, began automatically enabling Bitcoin payments for eligible US businesses on March 30, 2026. The full rollout, which covers a network of more than four million sellers, is scheduled to be completed by November 10, 2026. Payments are processed through Lightning Network, and Bitcoin received from customers is automatically converted into US dollars unless merchants choose to hold it. Processing is free through December 31, 2026, before a flat 1% fee starts on January 1, 2027. Individual transactions are capped at approximately $600 and each seller faces a daily ceiling of about $20,000, while the service is unavailable in New York and certain other jurisdictions.
