Cash App is introducing recurring Bitcoin purchases for US customers. The feature lets people schedule automatic orders at daily, weekly, or bi-weekly intervals. Jack Dorsey, who leads both Square and Twitter, announced the rollout Monday via his Twitter account.

The minimum purchase is $10. Someone might buy $10 in Bitcoin every day, or spread the same amount over a two-week stretch. Cash App operates a similar recurring-order system for stocks.

Dorsey laid out the mechanics in his announcement: "You can now do automatic recurring purchases of Bitcoin in Cash App. Daily, weekly, or every 2 weeks. And change the display to sats." Sats refers to satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin.

The benefit: timing matters less when you're buying in chunks over time. Cash App positions "automatic stock and bitcoin purchases" as a way to spread out the cost of entry. As the company put it: "Done over time, automatic recurring purchases will allow users to minimize the impact of market swings."

Users choose between displaying satoshis or Bitcoin. A $10 order buys a fraction of Bitcoin for most people, not a whole coin.

The feature launches in the US with Square eyeing expansion to the UK.

The timing aligns with a broader shift toward Bitcoin adoption. According to BitInfoCharts, 96% of wallets contain less than one Bitcoin. Large holders are accumulating faster. Wall Street has been building Bitcoin positions. The network's third halving fueled bullish sentiment.
