<p>Jack Dorsey, co-founder and CEO of Block Inc., announced a new initiative urging merchants to adopt Bitcoin payments. The <strong>invitation targets businesses</strong> using Square's PoS system, with a view to boost Bitcoin's role in retail transactions.</p>
<blockquote>
 Owen Jennings, Executive Officer, Block, “Square began onboarding the first sellers, enabling them to accept Lightning Network-powered BTC payments from customers… Payments are settled in real-near time using Bitcoin layer-2 Lightning, with Square processing the exchange into fiat. Square plans to make the service available to all merchants using its sales platform by next year.”
</blockquote>
<p>Adopting Bitcoin payments could impact transaction volumes at retail outlets globally. Square's integration with the <strong>Lightning Network enables faster</strong>, low-cost transactions, introducing Bitcoin as a mainstream payment option for merchants. <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2025/07/23/square-begins-rollout-of-bitcoin-payments-for-sellers-targets-full-availability-by-2026" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Square begins Bitcoin payment rollout for sellers, full by 2026</a></p>
