Square’s Bitcoin Announcement: Merchant Treasuries, Everyday Visibility, and Local Adoption

Show Notes

Square’s latest rollout brings Bitcoin directly to merchants from “Bitcoin accepted here” stickers to built-in treasury conversions and zero-fee payments. PBJ discusses what this means for adoption, how Presidio Bitcoin merchants are testing it locally, and why Cash App integration and global P2P use could mark a turning point for real-world Bitcoin commerce and use.
