Payments company Square today announced today in its Q3 earnings statement that its Bitcoin revenue was $1.81 billion, an 11% increase from last year, from trading on its Cash App.
The company said that its profits from its Bitcoin investment were therefore $42 million—approximately 2% of Bitcoin revenue.
While $1.81 billion in revenue from Bitcoin trading may seem impressive, it is a significant decrease—roughly 23%—when compared to the previous quarter. In Q2, the company generated $2.72 billion in Bitcoin revenue—and profits of $55 million.
The reason, Square said, was that stability in the cryptocurrency’s price drove down trading activity. In other words, Bitcoin’s price wasn’t budging much, so people were less interested in trading the cryptocurrency.
“Bitcoin revenue and gross profit benefited from year-over-year increases in the price of Bitcoin and number of Bitcoin activities,” the statement said.
“Compared to the second quarter of 2021, Bitcoin revenue and gross profit decreased on a quarter over-quarter basis, driven primarily by relative stability in the price of Bitcoin, which affected trading activity compared to prior quarters.”
The company, headed up by Bitcoin-booster (and part-time Twitter CEO) Jack Dorsey, said that total net revenue jumped 27% to $3.84 billion—with $1.13 billion in gross profits.
Square's share price jumped over 6% in after-hours trading on Thursday after the payment giant announced first quarter earnings that more than doubled Wall Street expectations. The company's earnings per share came in at 41 cents versus the 16 cents analysts had predicted, while revenue grew 266% year over year to $5.06 billion. That eye-popping jump in revenue came primarily from Square's move to let customers buy and sell Bitcoin by means of its Cash App. Excluding the Bitcoin revenue, which g...
Square added that Cash App, a mobile app that lets users buy Bitcoin, “delivered strong growth” as a whole for the company, generating $2.39 billion of revenue and $512 million of gross profit, a 16% and 33% year over year increase, respectively.
Square stock closed trading today down nearly 2%.

The founder of online news publication TechCrunch has claimed that Coinbase’s recent data breach “will lead to people dying,” amid a wave of kidnap attempts targeting high-net-worth crypto holders. TechCrunch founder and venture capitalist Michael Arrington added that this should be a point of reflection for regulators to re-think the importance of know-your-customer (KYC), a process that requires users to confirm their identity to a platform. He also called for prison time for executives that f...
Kevin O’Leary responded Monday to U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's (D-MA) latest attacks on the Senate’s stablecoin bill, rejecting her claims as “completely deranged” and warning that politicizing the legislation could undermine the U.S.’s position in global finance. “She’s confusing politics with progress, and this time, it could cost America dearly,” the Shark Tank investor and entrepreneur tweeted Monday. He added that, “This bill has nothing to do with Trump or meme coins.” Elizabeth Warre...
