Block has added Bitcoin Lightning Network support to its x402 payment protocol, enabling AI agents to make autonomous transactions in Bitcoin.

The move allows software to pay for access to APIs, data, and digital services without human involvement, making it a key step towards everyday use of Bitcoin.

x402 processed over 75.4 million transactions worth $24.2 million in the past 30 days, with USDC stablecoins dominating 99.3% of payment volume, but the addition of Bitcoin opens up new possibilities for machine-driven micropayments.
