Square offers tools that enable Bitcoin to be used in everyday business, from coffee shops to corner stores.
Square brings Bitcoin to local small businesses.
Today, the company announced a new suite called Square Bitcoin. It is designed to allow small businesses to accept Bitcoin payments, keep them in their built-in wallets, and automatically convert some of their sales to Bitcoin.
If you’re new to Square, Square is an all-in-one platform that helps small businesses accept payments, manage operations, and grow. The company offers hardware and software combinations for business needs such as point-of-sale systems, online sales, processing and payroll.
The Square Bitcoin rollout includes three important features: Sellers can accept Bitcoin payments without first year processing fees. You can automatically convert some of your card sales to Bitcoin. You also have access to a fully integrated Bitcoin wallet where you can buy, sell and hold BTC.
Square says the goal is to simplify Bitcoin for everyday business and make digital currency “as seamless as card payments.”
Starting November 10th, 2025, US sellers will be able to use Bitcoin payments.
Use Bitcoin like “Everyday Money”
This move could mark the turning point that Bitcoin uses in actual transactions. Until now, using Bitcoin for payments has remained primarily a niche. It was slowed down due to price volatility, complexity and lack of merchant-friendly tools.
By integrating Bitcoin directly into Square’s existing systems, the company lowers the barrier to entry for small and medium-sized businesses. Instead of having to juggle your wallet or third-party app, merchants can accept Bitcoin, manage it like any other currencies, and decide whether to keep it on your balance sheet or convert it to dollars immediately.
“We pay Bitcoin just as seamlessly as we pay for our card,” said Miles Suter, head of Block’s Bitcoin Product. “Through the Square and Cash app, we serve both sides of the counter. This makes Bitcoin more money than just a valuable store.”
For merchants, Square Bitcoin could mean reduced costs and speed of settlement compared to traditional card networks, where fees may be charged to process payments.
In the case of Bitcoin, it represents another step towards mainstream integration – turning from speculative assets into practical payment tools.
Once adoption is established, Square’s ecosystem will help expand from Bitcoin investment tools to labor currency within the local economy. It also strengthens the parent company’s block’s wide range of bets that Bitcoin is not just an alternative, but that Bitcoin will become the basis for financial infrastructure.
