Square is still Square and will remain Square, It is just the company that owns Square is now called Block.

Short answer, No. Bitcoin is not a current option directly in Square.

Long answer, I'm sure some form of Crypto payment will eventually make its way into Square POS but for now, there isn't one and I don't see Bitcoin being it. It needs to be fast and cheap and bitcoin is neither and doesn't scale to being either. current bitcoin transaction cost is $4.99 per transaction as of this comment. https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_average_transaction_fee and the current bitcoin transaction confirmation is 29 minutes as of this writing. https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_average_confirmation_time.

So I would assume no one wants a $6 transaction costing $5 in fees and taking a half-hour to process. It clearly isn't for use in retail investments.

As with all crypto, you can accept crypto payment outside of Square and use your wallet directly.
