Square revealed in its fiscal fourth-quarter financial report that it had spent $170 million to buy 3,318 additional bitcoins.
$170 million on more bitcoins
Square previously bought 4,709 bitcoins last October at an aggregate price of $50 million when a single coin was exchanging hands for a little over $10,000.The combined purchases of bitcoin “represents approximately five percent of Square’s total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2020.”
At the time of initial investment in bitcoin, the digital asset represented about 1% of the company’s cash and cash equivalents.
Co-founded and led by bitcoin advocate Jack Dorsey, Square stated that it considers cryptocurrency as a vehicle for economic empowerment that provides a way for people to be a part of the global monetary system and “secure their own financial future.”
The company will continually assess its bitcoin investment relative to other investments.
“The investment is part of Square’s ongoing commitment to bitcoin, and the company plans to assess its aggregate investment in bitcoin relative to its other investments on an ongoing basis,” the company said.
Square’s stock price fell by around 5% in after-hours trading after it reported mixed results.
The buying continues
Major companies have played a major role in fuelling bitcoin’s current bull run by betting big on the leading cryptocurrency.Bitcoin, although already in the limelight due to its rally, gained further prominence when carmaker Tesla announced the purchase of BTC worth $1.5 billion.
Within a short few weeks, the carmaker posted paper profits of more than $500 million.
Tesla is just one of them. Business intelligence firm MicroStrategy has spent more than $1 billion buying bitcoins and recently raised $600 million to buy additional BTC.
MicroStrategy CEO, Michael Saylor, who has become a crusader in urging corporate leaders to convert part of the balance sheet into bitcoin, took note of Square’s purchase on Twitter.
Jack Dorsey bitcoin donations
Dorsey recently donated 1 BTC to Brink, a not-for-profit organization working on bitcoin’s technological advancements.Dorsey teamed up with rapper Jay Z and pledged 500 BTC toward an endowment that will initially fund teams in Africa and India working on bitcoin development.
At the start of the month, Dorsey made a cash donation of $1 million to Coin Center, a crypto think tank.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
