Jack Dorsey’s Square Launches Bitcoin Payments for 4M Merchants

Block Inc., the parent company of Square, introduces Bitcoin payment acceptance for over 4 million merchants worldwide.. The roll-out paves the way for instant settlement with no fees through 2027, marking a huge step forward in bringing Bitcoin into mainstream global commerce.

The feature is accessible to merchants from the Square dashboard to activate. Buys are executed on the Bitcoin blockchain making transactions transparent and traceable. BTC and Fiat money both are supported on the platform..

Merchants Go Live with Bitcoin Payments

Dorsey announced the update on X, formerly Twitter. He stated , “Our sellers can now receive btc to btc, btc to fiat, fiat to btc, or fiat to fiat.” The message highlighted that merchants can choose their preferred settlement method without added complexity.

CEO Bitwise Invest, Hunter Horsley stated that four million merchants can now accept Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. He added, “Zoom out: it’s all happening.” His comment captured the broader shift toward digital currency integration in everyday transactions.

The offering, that was first unveiled last month, now allows merchants to accept zero-fee payments in BTC until the end of 2027. The built-in Conversion tool lets merchants set a percentage of their card sales for automatic Bitcoin conversion. This makes Bitcoin adoption simple and seamless in daily operations.

The launch was spearhead by CEO Jack Dorsey, who reiterated Block’s vision to combine digital assets and traditional money transfers. The decision is in line with Dorsey’s long-term push for Bitcoin as an independent universal financial standard

The release coincides with Bitcoin trading around $105,000. Its growing price underscores rising confidence in cryptocurrency’s role within mainstream finance.

Mixed Earnings, Strong Growth, and a Bold Bitcoin Push

Block’s recent financial performance has been mixed. The company reported earning $0.54 a share in the third quarter, shy of analyst forecasts of $0.67 . Revenue was $6.11 billion, just below the estimate of $6.312 billion.

However, with the earning gap, Square’s gross payment volume still rose 12% from a year earlier. Steady growth suggests strong merchant adoption and resilience in the core business.

Market analysts see the link of Bitcoin as a significant step for digital payments. The update removes processing obstacles, reduces costs and allows merchants of all sizes to process cross-border transactions more quickly.

The move adds to a growing acceptance of Bitcoin as payment asset. It also confirms Block Inc. as one of the financial technology industry’s key innovators. The global release of the update signals a significant leap in the integration of cryptocurrency.
