Square, the payment services division of Block, has launched new features enabling merchants to accept Bitcoin payments and utilize AI-powered voice ordering. The Bitcoin payment integration allows businesses to process transactions directly through Square's platform, utilizing the Lightning Network for efficient and cost-effective transfers. Merchants have the option to settle in Bitcoin or convert to fiat currency instantly. Additionally, Square's AI voice ordering system facilitates customer orders via natural language prompts, tailored to each business's menu or product catalog. These innovations are now available to US merchants, with plans for international expansion in 2026.
