I’m actually blown away by how quickly we got this product to market. When we decided to announce it at Bitcoin Vegas in May, we were in the very infancy of building out any of these features.

Fun Fact: we actually powered the merch store there - the first time Square terminals were ever accepting bitcoin payments - with a completely different implementation. Every terminal at the conference was actually receiving payments non-custodially and had a wallet within the hardware. Basically doing our first test run on EXPERT difficulty 😂

It all went super well though, besides Jack immediately saying the 2026 timeline that was announced was out of the question - we were shipping this later this year!

The effort to get the Square Bitcoin Banking and Payments suite out to our four million merchants was the most impressive I’ve seen in my whole career, so massive shoutout to the entire team.
