BREAKING: SQUARE TO AUTO-ENABLE BITCOIN PAYMENTS FOR MILLIONS OF SELLERS
Square will auto-enable Bitcoin payments for all eligible sellers starting March 30, 2026, according to an updated Terms of Service notice sent to users.
The change means millions of businesses using Square could soon begin accepting Bitcoin by default, rather than opting in manually.
The rollout is part of Block’s broader push to integrate Bitcoin payments across its ecosystem, leveraging the Lightning Network for fast, low-cost transactions.
Sellers will still have the option to disable the feature or automatically convert Bitcoin to USD at the point of sale.
With Square powering millions of merchants globally, this marks a major step toward making Bitcoin a standard payment method in everyday commerce.
