Block Inc has launched Square Bitcoin, the first fully integrated bitcoin payments and wallet solution designed specifically for local businesses of all sizes. This innovative offering allows sellers to accept bitcoin payments with zero processing fees, automatically convert card sales into bitcoin, and manage their bitcoin alongside other business finances within the Square ecosystem.
A Game Changer for Merchants
Square Bitcoin represents a significant step forward in Block’s strategy to make digital assets an accessible part of business operations. By integrating Bitcoin Payments and Bitcoin Conversions, Block is providing merchants with the ability to manage both traditional and crypto finances seamlessly. As of October 1, merchants testing the system have collectively accumulated 142 bitcoin, demonstrating the potential for wealth building through cryptocurrency.
The Future of Payments
Block’s new offering fits naturally within its broader seller ecosystem. Square Bitcoin is the natural evolution of Square’s extensive platform of commerce and banking solutions, giving sellers expanded options for managing sales, costs, and finances. With Bitcoin Payments launching for eligible U.S. sellers on November 10, the company aims to make bitcoin payments as seamless as card payments.
“We’re making bitcoin payments as seamless as card payments while giving small businesses access to financial management tools that, until now, have been exclusive to the largest corporations.”
Miles Suter, Head of Bitcoin Product at Block
The launch of Square Bitcoin is part of Block’s growing bitcoin ecosystem, which includes Cash App’s bitcoin capabilities, Bitkey, Proto, and Spiral. These initiatives reflect Block’s commitment to making bitcoin more accessible and usable for everyday commerce.
