Square’s Bit-Checkout Revolution: Bitcoin Meets Your Morning Coffee ☕️🪙

Block (Square’s parent company) just flipped the switch. Now, thousands of merchants — from your local coffee spot to retail shops — can accept Bitcoin via the Lightning Network. Lightning-fast, ultra-low fees, and no new hardware needed: just scan, pay, done. Whether they choose to HODL or convert instantly to fiat, Square gives sellers the option.

This isn’t tomorrow’s tech — it’s happening now, with full rollout expected by 2026. Bitcoin isn’t just online speculation anymore—it’s becoming everyday.

> “Onboarding our first few Square sellers for the new native bitcoin acceptance experience… this is the way!” — Owen Jennings, Block exec on X
