Square Automatically Enables Bitcoin Payments for Eligible U.S. Sellers

Square has begun automatically enabling Bitcoin payments for eligible U.S. sellers using its POS hardware and apps.

By default transactions convert instantly to USD via the Lightning Network, with no processing fees through 2026 and no chargebacks.

Merchants may opt to hold received BTC and the rollout excludes New York initially while focusing on physical merchants.

The feature follows Square's 2025 announcements and targets roughly 4 million U.S. merchants that use Square hardware and apps.
