The post Square Pilots Real-Time Bitcoin (BTC) Payments in Vegas, Plans Full Availability to Customers in 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Jack Dorsey’s Square has taken bitcoin payments a step further at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas this week. For three days, the company is piloting a program where attendees can make purchases with their bitcoin by scanning a barcode. Payments are then settled in near real-time via the Lighting Network while Square handles real-time exchange rate calculations and confirmation notifications, according to a press release. Square hopes to make the feature available to a broader audience later this year and to all customers by 2026, pending regulatory approval. “We believe in an open, decentralized, fair, fast, and low-cost money system for everyone, and that’s exactly what we want to bring to Square sellers,” said Miles Suter, Bitcoin Product Lead at Block (XYZ), the parent company of Square.
