Jack Dorsey said on Twitter that his payments company, Square Inc., is considering making a bitcoin hardware wallet.

Mr. Dorsey, who is the CEO of Square in addition to Twitter Inc., has been a big proponent of the cryptocurrency.

"If we do it, we would build it entirely in the open, from software to hardware design, and in collaboration with the community," he said in his string of tweets.

"Bitcoin is for everyone," he added. "It's important to us to build an inclusive product that brings a non-custodial solution to the global market."

Square shares rose 2.4%.
