Square enables bitcoin payments for over 1 million US merchants
- —Over 1 million Square merchants in the US can accept bitcoin payments
- —Fees are 0% until Dec. 31, 2026, then 1%
- —The feature is not available to New York businesses
- —Spiral says demand, not technology, is the main barrier
Why it matters: Lightning payments at a major acquirer will test real demand for bitcoin as a means of payment, not just a store of value.
