Block Inc. (notably through its global Square business) has recently rolled out groundbreaking bitcoin payment features in the United States as of October 8, 2025. These new functionalities present American sellers with cutting-edge options in digital currency management and transactions, ensuring they remain at the forefront of financial innovation. However, Australian sellers are yet to receive access to these same empowering tools that promise significant business benefits in an evolving digital economy.

Notably, the features allow sellers to seamlessly accept bitcoin directly from their point-of-sale systems without incurring any processing fees for the first year. Moreover, sellers can convert a predefined percentage of their daily card sales into bitcoin automatically. This integration not only facilitates the diversification of sellers' financial strategies but also positions their businesses competitively in a landscape where bitcoin usage is on the rise.

By managing their bitcoin holdings alongside traditional finances, Australian sellers can streamline their operations, achieve greater financial inclusivity, and offer broader payment options to their customers. This holistic approach to financial management is pivotal in keeping pace with global economic shifts and trends towards decentralised money.

Currently, Australian devices are deprived of these advancements, potentially stunting the country's progress in embracing digital economies. It's critical that Block Inc. recognises the need to extend these innovative features beyond the U.S., thereby fostering a more uniform and inclusive global market.

We call upon Block Inc. to prioritise the inclusion of Australian sellers by integrating the same bitcoin payment technologies seen in the United States. The time to act is now, ensuring Australia isn't left behind as global commerce evolves.

Sign this petition to advocate for the introduction of these essential bitcoin features in Australia. Together, we can encourage Block Inc. to take responsibility and offer these advanced solutions to Australian businesses.
