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%.

Two top Wall Street analysts are confident many top altcoins ETFs will imminently be approved for trading—so confident, they’ve now estimated the likelihood of such spot approvals coming before the end of the year at almost 100%.

The healthcare data firm sold its common stock at $5 per share in the raise. "Ad...
The tokenization industry has gained momentum at breakneck speed. New use cases are continually emerging, with Boston Consulting Group projecting that the total size of this nascent sector could reach $16 trillion by 2030. Others believe it might take a little extra time. McKinsey recently forecast that the market capitalization of tokenized assets will hit $2 trillion by the end of the decade—and potentially $4 trillion in a bullish scenario. That would eclipse the current value of all cryptocu...
