corporate timeline:
• 2009–2014: Founded by Jack Dorsey and Jim McKelvey, the firm raised a collective $487.5M across five conventional private funding rounds led by firms like Khosla Ventures and Sequoia Capital before adopting any bitcoin initiatives.
• 2015: Square closed its $243M initial public offering (IPO) on the NYSE at a $2.9B valuation, strengthening the balance sheet it later leveraged for corporate bitcoin strategies.
• 2018: The company launched its primary retail distribution channel by opening bitcoin buying and selling features to most US users directly inside Cash App.
• 2020–2021: Square executed a major treasury pivot by putting a combined $220M into 8,027 BTC on its balance sheet, a commitment later expanded to re-invest 10% of monthly bitcoin gross profits into ongoing asset accumulation.
• 2021–2022: The corporation formally signaled its blockchain identity shift by rebranding from Square to Block, Inc. while completing a landmark $29B all-stock acquisition of Afterpay.
• 2023–2025 (Infrastructure): Block transitioned into a core bitcoin infrastructure supplier by launching the Bitkey self-custody wallet, securing a massive 15 EH/s mining ASIC supply deal with Core Scientific, and debuting its Proto mining rigs.
• 2025 (Capital): The firm celebrated its inclusion in the S&P 500 index by successfully execution-pricing a massive $2.2B institutional senior notes debt placement.
• 2025–2026 (Merchant): The company launched Square Bitcoin merchant rails, providing automatic conversion options of daily card sales into BTC that grew to surpass 1 million enabled merchant sellers.
