Dorsey's Block Just Flipped the Switch: Bitcoin Now Live for Millions of Square Merchants

Square's payment network quietly activated BTC transactions across its massive seller base. We're talking real-world adoption at scale here—coffee shops, online stores, service providers, you name it. This isn't some pilot program anymore.

The infrastructure's been there, but now it's actually turned on. Merchants who've been sitting on Square terminals can suddenly accept Bitcoin alongside card payments. No complicated setup, no separate hardware.

What makes this different? Volume. Square processes billions in payments. Even if a fraction converts to crypto rails, that's meaningful throughput hitting the network. Not speculation—actual economic activity.

Block's been building toward this for years, but implementation always lagged behind headlines. That gap just closed. The bet Dorsey's been making on Bitcoin as payments layer? It's now getting its real market test.

Worth watching how velocity picks up over next quarters. Adoption curves for new payment methods usually move slow, then suddenly don't.
