Cash App Launches Zero-Fee Bitcoin Payments Backed by Jack Dorsey

Published at 2026-02-17 09:15:20

Cash App announced a revamp to its Bitcoin fee structure and withdrawal rules, cutting Bitcoin payment fees to 0% for certain types of purchases in a push to make BTC more practical for everyday transactions. The change, backed by Jack Dorsey’s leadership at Block, is billed as a way to lower friction for users who want to spend Bitcoin rather than just hold it. Users should check the app for the full list of qualifying purchases and any updated withdrawal terms.

Lowering or removing fees for selected payments could boost on‑chain activity and merchant acceptance by making Bitcoin payments cheaper and simpler at the point of sale. The move reinforces Block’s ongoing bet on Bitcoin as a consumer payments asset and may increase competitive pressure on other wallets and payment platforms. Traders and users of BTC might see this as a practical step toward wider adoption, though real impact will depend on merchant uptake and the specifics of the fee and withdrawal changes.
