Jack Dorsey’s Block to Launch Bitcoin Lightning Payments on All Square Terminals with Full Rollout by 2026

Block, the payments company led by Jack Dorsey, announced the launch of Bitcoin payments on all Square point-of-sale terminals. This new feature, unveiled at the Bitcoin 2025 conference, enables merchants to accept Bitcoin payments via the Lightning Network, allowing customers to pay with a simple QR code scan at checkout. Merchants have the option to either hold the Bitcoin received or automatically convert it to fiat currency in real time. The initiative is part of Block's broader strategy to offer small businesses more payment options and to position Bitcoin as the internet's native currency. The Bitcoin payment feature is currently being piloted in Las Vegas and is expected to roll out to more sellers in the second half of 2025, with full availability planned for 2026.
