introducing the new feature at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, allowing attendees to test the payment system at the BTC Inc. merchandise store.<\/p>\n<p>Powered by the Lightning Network, Square\u2019s Bitcoin payments system enables merchants to accept Bitcoin payments through their Square hardware, offering near-instantaneous, low-cost transactions.<\/p>\n<p>The initial rollout is scheduled for the second half of 2025, pending regulatory approvals, according to Block.<\/p>\n<p>The new offering is part of the company\u2019s ongoing push to make Bitcoin more accessible and usable for everyday transactions.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcointreasuries.net\/entities\/block\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">Data<\/a> from Bitcoin Treasuries shows that Block is the tenth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, owning 8,584 BTC worth $935 million at current market prices.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBlock has long been a champion of Bitcoin, focused on making it more accessible and usable in our everyday lives,\u201d said Miles Suter, Bitcoin Product Lead at Bloc, in a statement. \u201cRolling out a native Bitcoin experience to millions of sellers brings us one step closer to that goal. When a coffee shop or retail store can accept Bitcoin through Square, small businesses get paid faster and get to keep more of their revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The feature builds upon Block\u2019s expanding suite of Bitcoin-related products and services, including Square\u2019s Bitcoin Conversion feature, Cash App\u2019s Bitcoin services, Bitkey\u2019s self-custody wallet, Proto\u2019s mining products, and Spiral\u2019s open-source projects.<\/p>\n<p><html><body><\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-banner mrec-in-article\">\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4 ai-track\" data-ai=\"WzQsIiIsIk1SRUMgSW4tYXJ0aWNsZSAtIDMwMHgyNTAiLCIiLDFd\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both; width: 300px; height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"ai-rotate ai-unprocessed\" data-shares=\"WzEwMF0=\" style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ai-rotate-option\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\" data-index=\"1\" data-name=\"U2V2aW8=\">\n<div style=\"width: 300px; height: 250px\">\n<script type=\"rocketlazyloadscript\" async data-rocket-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.adx.ws\/scripts\/loader.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"sevioads\" data-zone=\"e895191b-6d01-4021-992d-173ebfdf2d63\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"rocketlazyloadscript\">\n    window.sevioads = window.sevioads || [];\n    var sevioads_preferences = [];\n    sevioads_preferences[0] = {};\n    sevioads_preferences[0].zone = \"e895191b-6d01-4021-992d-173ebfdf2d63\";\n    sevioads_preferences[0].adType = \"banner\";\n    sevioads_preferences[0].inventoryId = \"c5700508-581b-472c-8fdd-a931cdbfc8e1\";\n    sevioads_preferences[0].accountId = \"1e47efc1-ec2d-4fca-a8b9-354e249e5095\";\n    sevioads.push(sevioads_preferences);\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes after Dorsey <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptobriefing.com\/bitcoin-payments-integration-square-bitkey\/\" rel=\"\">confirmed<\/a> last month that Block was working on integrating Bitcoin as a payment option for Bitkey and Square.
