No, it can't. World uses single round of SHA-256. Bitcoin uses two rounds of SHA-256 for PoW. Since Bitcoin ASICs hardware is optimized really really hard, they are simply incapable of doing a single round SHA-256.

IMHO this design decision was a great call.

EDIT: I'm amazed that for 12 hours nobody could point to that well-known fact. NH crowd really knows little about cryptocurrencies.
