SQUARE EXPANDS BITCOIN PAYMENTS ACROSS ITS 4 MILLION MERCHANT NETWORK ON TUESDAY

Jack Dorsey’s Square is expected to complete its phased Bitcoin payments rollout on November 10, expanding availability across its network of more than 4 million merchants.

The rollout began March 30, when Square started automatically enabling Bitcoin payments for eligible US businesses rather than requiring merchants to opt in.

Customers can pay using the Lightning Network, with transactions settling in seconds. Merchants receive US dollars by default but can choose to keep payments in Bitcoin.

Square is waiving Bitcoin payment processing fees through December 31, 2026, after which a flat 1% fee applies.

Merchants can also automatically convert up to 50% of their daily sales revenue into Bitcoin.

The expansion makes Bitcoin acceptance a default feature for eligible Square businesses, potentially bringing Lightning payments to millions of storefronts without requiring new hardware.

Default-on is the actual news here. Until now a merchant chose to accept Bitcoin; from now on an update chooses for them. The treasury question arrives with it: how much of each day's revenue now sits in a volatile asset. Accepting Bitcoin and holding it are two different things. The dollar default...

Great news for spending. At the other end of the scale, the small shops matter too: ours only takes bitcoin, over Lightning, and the first orders went to our maker within seconds of paying. More places to spend, more reasons to. hatsandstuff.com

The telling detail is the default settlement. Sellers get US dollars, with bitcoin converted on the spot, so no custody, no accounting changes, no volatility exposure. USD lands the same day.
