Block also announced today a strategic investment into bitcoin following numerous positive developments both within the company and in the broader market. In April, Block implemented a bitcoin dollar cost average (DCA) purchase program that will run through 2024. Under the program, Block will be investing 10% of its gross profit from bitcoin products into bitcoin purchases.

Aligned with the company's purpose, Block believes that bitcoin is an instrument of economic empowerment, providing a way for individuals to participate in a global monetary system and control their own financial future. In a new memo, Block has outlined its strategy for company owned bitcoin held for investment purposes, including its historical purchase execution, storage mechanics, and insurance and accounting considerations. The company plans to assess its aggregate investment in bitcoin relative to its other investments on an ongoing basis.
