Block, Inc. has unveiled plans to integrate Bitcoin payments into its Square payment processing platform, with a phased rollout beginning in late 2025 and a full implementation planned for 2026.
The announcement was made at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, where the company demonstrated the new functionality.
The solution will leverage Bitcoin's Lightning Network to enable fast, low-cost transactions through Square's existing hardware.
Merchants will have the ability to hold Bitcoin payments or automatically convert them to fiat money.
