Led by CEO Jack Dorsey, Block in April began using 10% of its monthly bitcoin-related gross profit to buy additional bitcoin, with plans to do this each month for the remainder of 2024.
Block already has substantial bitcoin holdings, having purchased 4,709 bitcoins in October 2020 and another 3,318 tokens in early 2021. At today's price of about $59,000, that bitcoin is now worth roughly $4.7 billion.
