  No, Square does not send a 1099 form for cryptocurrency transactions. Square is primarily a payment processor for small businesses, and they do not have the same reporting requirements as larger financial institutions. However, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to ensure you are reporting your cryptocurrency income correctly.
