Shortwave Coffee, a family-run roastery with five locations across Missouri, Minnesota, and Florida, has started accepting Bitcoin payments at its registers. This move follows a grassroots effort by local bitcoin enthusiasts who repeatedly requested the feature after Square began enabling Bitcoin acceptance on millions of terminals nationwide in March 2026. The adoption highlights growing merchant acceptance of Bitcoin as a payment method, especially among high-quality local businesses. This trend may encourage other small businesses to enable Bitcoin payments as customer demand increases.
