Block, Inc.’s enfant terrible, Square, has decided that the future is now. Starting March 30, 2026, millions of “eligible” merchants in the United States will be auto-magically inducted into the world of bitcoin payments, whether they like it or not.
According to Miles Suter, the Bitcoin Product Lead at Block, Inc., U.S. merchants are now going to get a little surprise in their payment options: bitcoin payments turned on by default. This miraculous rollout is supposed to make the transaction process smoother, for both tiny shops and those enormous businesses that are so busy selling things they forget what year it is.
But don’t worry, despite all this “future” talk, U.S. sellers will still receive good ol’ American dollars as their settlement currency. No, there won’t be a sudden plunge into the chaotic depths of cryptocurrency’s notorious volatility – for now, at least. It’s the “perfect” mix of digital asset excitement and old-school stability. Really, it’s the best of both worlds, if you ask them.
“And so begins the grand experiment of bitcoin as ‘everyday money,’” quips Miles Suter, who seems almost as excited as the merchants who are about to have their workflows altered forever.
