Citing 币界网, Block's Square Bitcoin platform, designed to simplify Bitcoin transactions for businesses, officially launched on November 10. The platform, built on Block's years of Bitcoin experimentation, aims to integrate payment and wallet solutions for merchants of all sizes. Despite a 13% drop in Block's stock price following a Q3 earnings miss, the company continues to position Bitcoin as a strategic long-term investment. CFO Amrita Ahuja described the company's initial $50 million Bitcoin purchase in 2020 as a 'learning exercise,' and by Q2 2025, Block held 8,692 BTC. Square is offering $50 Bitcoin rewards to the first 20,000 merchants to adopt its Bitcoin conversion feature, aiming to lower entry barriers for small businesses. The company also announced zero-fee Bitcoin trading until 2026. However, CFO Neil Jorgensen warned that Bitcoin's volatility remains a challenge for institutional adoption.
