Yes. Pair the Bluetooth speaker with a Google Home or Nest device, then add that Google device—not the Bluetooth speaker itself—to a Google speaker group. Play Spotify on the group to hear audio through the Google device and its paired Bluetooth speaker alongside other supported group devices.
How the setup works
The Google Home or Nest device acts as the group member and sends its audio to the Bluetooth speaker. Google’s instructions do not treat an ordinary Bluetooth speaker as a standalone speaker-group endpoint. The supported route is to pair the speaker with a Google device and include that paired device in the group. See Google’s Bluetooth speaker and headphone instructions and speaker-group guidance.

What to expect from Bluetooth in a group
Only one Bluetooth output per Google device
A Google Home or Nest device can connect to only one Bluetooth speaker or pair of headphones at a time for music. It may remember multiple paired outputs, but it connects to the most recently connected one. This limit is per Google device, according to Google’s Bluetooth guidance.

Bluetooth can introduce a timing mismatch
Google warns that Bluetooth may cause a delay in group playback. If you hear a consistent, significant mismatch, use the group-delay correction control in the Google device’s Audio settings. Google advises leaving that setting alone if you do not notice a significant delay. Its group-delay correction guidance does not give a specific delay measurement, so the practical test is whether the mismatch is clearly audible in your setup.
Spotify features may depend on your account and location
Google’s troubleshooting guidance says Spotify Premium is needed for most functionality on Google smart speakers and displays. That statement concerns Spotify functionality; it does not say Premium is required just to pair a Bluetooth speaker or create a group. Service availability and commands can also vary by location. Check Google’s music-service troubleshooting guidance if Spotify commands or playback features are unavailable.
If it is not playing on both
-
Confirm the Bluetooth speaker is paired as the Google device’s default music speaker and is connected, not merely saved as a previously paired device.

Bluetooth speaker or another supported group speaker?
If you already own a Bluetooth speaker, pairing it with a compatible Google Home or Nest device is a way to include it in multi-room playback without treating it as a separate group endpoint. Another supported Google Cast-compatible speaker can join a group in its own right, but that requires suitable hardware. Google’s documentation does not establish that either approach is cheaper, sounds better, or stays more synchronized; Bluetooth delay is a possible consideration. Use the Bluetooth route when you have the hardware and its timing works acceptably in your room.
