So much for slower lower.
Central and lower Delaware spends bitcoin too. Find local shops south of the C&D Canal that accept it, across Kent and Sussex counties, Middletown and Townsend.
Directory
Most bitcoin talk in Delaware stops at Wilmington. We are building a simple, friendly list for everyone south of the canal, checked by people who live here.
We only list a business after we confirm with the shop itself that it accepts bitcoin.
Listings are free and based on public information and confirmation from each business. Details can change, so please check with the shop before you pay. Owners can request a correction or removal anytime at firststatebtc@agentmail.to, and we aim to update within 7 days.
For businesses: Get bitcoin-ready
If you use Square and your business is eligible, you may already be able to take bitcoin over Lightning at checkout. Square processes the payment and can pay you in dollars or bitcoin, your choice. Square fee is 0% through Dec 31, 2026, then 1%. Up to $600 per sale.
Free bitcoin-ready setup help
Square lets you turn this on yourself for free, and it may already be on. We will sit with you, or call, for free while you check your settings in your own Square account, run a test payment and show your staff. Your directory listing is free too, always.
We never touch your money, logins or keys. You do every step in your own account. Square decides which businesses are eligible, not us.
