| Heres what I leaned this month about what merchants can gain in both cash and bitcoin by turning on Square’s new     |
| button.                                                                                                              |
|                                                                                                                      |
| 1. If you had a coffee shop, liquor store, and brewery in the same neighborhood, the brewery has the most to gain.   |
|                                                                                                                      |
| Annual credit card fees:                                                                                             |
|                                                                                                                      |
| • Coffee shop: ~$16K                                                                                                 |
| • Liquor store: ~$28K                                                                                                |
| • Brewery: ~$31K                                                                                                     |
|                                                                                                                      |
| 2. You only need 1% of customers paying Bitcoin in 2026, growing to 4% by 2030, for meaningful accumulation.         |
|                                                                                                                      |
| 3. Square's 50/50 option - half cash, half Bitcoin - means no one's betting their business.                          |
|                                                                                                                      |
| With this approach over 5 years:                                                                                     |
|                                                                                                                      |
| - Coffee shop stacks ~0.08 BTC                                                                                       |
| - Liquor store stacks ~0.15 BTC                                                                                      |
| - Brewery stacks ~0.21 BTC                                                                                           |
|                                                                                                                      |
| 4. Breweries can host bitcoin meetups on slow nights - turning Tuesday into a community event.                       |
|                                                                                                                      |
| 5. The language you learned bitcoin in - Austrian economics, sound money, freedom money - is foreign to someone      |
| trying to make payroll. Let’s not lead with that. (I also explain why I’m not sure the “no chargeback” aspect of     |
| bitcoin is a good one to lead with for these businesses).                                                            |
|                                                                                                                      |
| 6. They don't need to understand Bitcoin to benefit from accepting it.                                               |
|                                                                                                                      |
| The article below takes about 12 minutes to read.                                                                    |
|                                                                                                                      |
| At the end is a GitHub link with 2-page leave-behinds you can print on card stock for your local coffee shop,        |
| brewery, or liquor store. If the merchant gets curious, there's a 20-minute read time document for each type of      |
| merchant laying out the full financial case.                                                                         |
|                                                                                                                      |
| Bottom line: even with the 50/50 approach, they end up with more cash on hand AND a nice little stack after five     |
| years.                                                                                                               |
|                                                                                                                      |
