BREAKING: SQUARE TO AUTO-ENABLE BITCOIN PAYMENTS FOR MILLIONS OF SELLERS Square will auto-enable Bitcoin payments for all eligible sellers starting March 30, 2026, according to an updated Terms of Service notice sent to users. The change means millions of businesses using Square could soon begin accepting Bitcoin by default, rather than opting in manually. The rollout is part of Block’s broader push to integrate Bitcoin payments across its ecosystem, leveraging the Lightning Network for fast, low-cost transactions. Sellers will still have the option to disable the feature or automatically convert Bitcoin to USD at the point of sale. With Square powering millions of merchants globally, this marks a major step toward making Bitcoin a standard payment method in everyday commerce. image

This week, Strategy bought 22,337 bitcoin. Miners produced 3,150. That means Michael Saylor bought more than seven times the weekly mined supply in a bear market. And the deeper you look into it, the wilder it gets. STRC, Strategy’s preferred stock, raised $1.18 billion last week alone. This is from a fixed income instrument that did not even exist eight months ago. A preferred equity product, the kind of thing that normally trades quietly in the background for institutional accounts, just printed $2.2 billion in weekly volume. $740 million in a single day. There is no other fixed income product on earth trading like this. STRC with its 11.5% dividend is becoming the Bitcoin accumulation machine Saylor has always dreamed of. Every dollar that flows into STRC becomes bitcoin on Strategy’s balance sheet, eliminating thousands of future potential wholecoiners, permanently. The dividend obligation is fixed, backed by over $2 billion in cash and over $55B worth of Bitcoin. All while the bitcoin stack keeps compounding. Critics call it a Ponzi. But they said the same thing about bitcoin at $1. At $100. At $10,000. The critics always believe bitcoin’s best days are behind it. If you believe in Bitcoin's long-term appreciation, which the track record demands you do, the math works out overwhelmingly in Strategy's favor. Now extrapolate further. Over the last two weeks, STRC raised $1.557 billion. Even in a conservative scenario, assume two dead weeks every month and zero growth, Strategy could still raise another $16 billion from STRC alone before the end of the year. This would increase their Bitcoin stack by nearly 30% without diluting common MSTR shareholders. Strategy is already buying 2.66 times the global mining rate and the supply vacuum is accelerating. And we have not even seen what this machine looks like in a bull market. Is STRC what takes Bitcoin into its next phase of explosive growth? image

NEW: A new 11 year study analyzing Bitcoin’s resilience to submarine cable failures finds the network remains highly robust even when critical internet infrastructure is disrupted. Using data from 2014 to 2025 and 68 verified cable fault events, researchers found random cable failures would require roughly 72% to 92% of inter country connections to fail before causing major node disconnection. Targeted attacks are more effective but still require 5% to 20% of key connections to be disrupted. The study also found Tor usage increases Bitcoin’s resilience because relay bandwidth is concentrated in well connected regions. Empirical results show 87% of historical cable faults caused less than 5% node impact. image

Former UK Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng addresing Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson: "Calling Bitcoin a Ponzi is like calling the internet a pyramid scheme because websites gain users over time. A Ponzi has a central operator and promised returns. Bitcoin has neither; just mathematics, code, and a monetary policy that can’t be rewritten by politicians. We’ll chat about this over lunch next week and I’ll have you converted in no time at all."
