Block, Inc. (XYZ)

Block, Inc. builds technology that helps individuals and small businesses manage, move, and grow their money. It operates connected ecosystems that combine commerce solutions, financial services, software, hardware, and networks, mainly through Cash App for consumers and Square for businesses ("sellers"). The ecosystems share infrastructure for payments processing, risk management, identity, and data, and the company applies data, automation, and AI across its products. Block started with Square in February 2009 to let businesses accept card payments, and it also invests in bitcoin and open protocols.

Block has two reportable segments, Square and Cash App. It reports revenue in three categories. Commerce Enablement covers Square payments, software, and hardware, Cash App Card, Cash App Pay, buy now, pay later (BNPL) products including Afterpay, and TIDAL streaming and artist tools. Financial Solutions covers Cash App Borrow, Instant Deposit, interest income, ATM and brokerage services, and Square Loans, Savings, Checking, and Square Card. The Bitcoin Ecosystem covers bitcoin buy/sell in Cash App, Square Bitcoin, Proto (a bitcoin mining system), and Bitkey (a self-custody wallet). Square offers more than 30 products, including point-of-sale software, payroll and team management, loyalty and marketing tools, developer APIs, and hardware such as Register, Terminal, Stand, Readers, and Handheld. Square Lending includes loans repaid through a share of card sales. Cash App lets customers store, send, receive, spend, invest, borrow, and save money, with products such as Cash App Green and Pay in 4 and Pay Monthly BNPL plans. TIDAL is a global music platform with more than 250 million songs and 1,000,000 videos. Spiral is an independent team working on bitcoin open source. Together, the revenue categories generated $10.4 billion in gross profit in 2025.

Square sellers range from sole proprietors to multinational businesses across services, food-related, and retail industries. They operate in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, and Spain, and the company increasingly serves mid-market sellers with more than $500,000 in annualized gross payment volume. In 2025, more than 4.5 million sellers processed 5.9 billion transactions totaling $250 billion of Square GPV, and no customer exceeded 5% of Square GPV. Cash App is primarily in the United States and had 59 million monthly transacting actives in December 2025, who brought $316 billion in inflows during the year. The company aims for Cash App, with its bank partners, to become a top provider of banking services to U.S. households earning up to $150,000 a year. BNPL products are offered in the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and TIDAL has listeners in more than 60 countries and relationships with nearly 300 labels and distributors.

On the operating side, Block acts as merchant of record and payment service provider for Square, with contracts with acquiring processors, card networks, and other transaction-processing providers. It offers financial products through its wholly owned subsidiary bank, Square Financial Services, Inc., and through third-party bank partners, including the bank that issues the Cash App Card. It funds most Square loans through institutional investors who buy them on a forward-flow basis. Square hardware is custom-designed.
