Why It Matters: Block, formerly known as Square, was founded in 2009 and specializes in point-of-sale systems and payment solutions. It gradually expanded its portfolio, placing a special focus on cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).

Today, its offerings include the ‘Bitcoin-only’ Cash App digital wallet service, the self-custody Bitcoin wallet Bitkey, the Bitcoin mining product suite Proto and the Bluetooth-powered messaging service Bitchat.

The firm announced a new strategy, effective April 2024, wherein it would allocate 10% of its monthly Bitcoin-related gross profit to purchase additional Bitcoins. It holds a total of 8,584 BTC, worth over $1 billion, as of this writing, according to Bitcoin Treasuries.

Price Action: Shares of Block closed 2.95% higher at $72.82 during Friday’s regular trading session. The stock has risen 81% over the last month. According to data from Benzinga Pro. Year-to-date, the coin has lost over 14%.

The stock exhibited a very high growth score--a measure of the stock’s combined historical expansion in earnings and revenue across multiple periods. How does it compare with Coinbase Global Inc. COIN and other cryptocurrency-related stocks? Visit Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings and find out.
